Greetings all, I hope you're well.

I recently had the flu for 2 weeks and recovered about 2 weeks ago.

During that time I felt a huge pressure in my ear and woke up to having about 50% of my hearing lost in one ear that has not returned.

 

I am looking for a hospital/doctor that can figure out what the problem is with my lost hearing and hopefully fix it.

I've gone to Pattaya International Hospital already, but they simply gave me anti-inflammatories, sent me home and I've gone through my prescription with no success. Thanks in advanced.

I have been more prone to ear infections as I have gotten older. I had one two years that was different than previous ones and Amoxicillin didn't work like it normally did. I went to a small clinic in Naklua and the Doc gave me a different prescription and that didn't help.

 

I ended up going to Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital and saw an ENT specialist and he identified the infection. I think it was fungal rather than bacterial and he also discovered that I had a perforated eardrum.

 

It took four visits because he wanted to monitor the progress of the perforation healing but the cost was reasonable. One visit where he only took a quick look to check progress there was no charge at all.

 

The ENT specialist was Dr. Nikom Mee-in

Excellent, I'll go there next. Thank you.

If you'd prefer a clinic there is Dr Apichai ENT on Pattaya Klang, gets recommended a lot, some evenings at the clinic
