Thanks, Craig! And welcome to you, too! I wish my surgery were sooner than May 11th. All of this waiting is making me go a little stir crazy! Lol.

Lisa, that's great that the steroids worked for you for so long! Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky. When I first lost my hearing they put me on oral steriods for a few weeks with no change. Then they injected liquid steroids directly into my ear (NOT a pleasant experience let me tell you)with, again, no change. It was really disheartening but it's good to hear that they worked for someone.
