I had a brilliant run from 19-24 months. I thought it was all done with.
A few days short of my 2 year anniversary, I had virtually no symptoms whatsoever, my hearing had returned to -15db. Versus -10db in my good ear. Anything above -25db is considered normal..
Maybe very slight bobble head doll feeling after waking for 10 minutes, thats it.
Went skiing with the family.. skiing in fog, walking in the dark, balancing on stools with one leg to change lightbulbs, and any other stupid thing that men do in normal everyday life, was no longer a challenge.
Then just short of my 2 year anniversary, I lost hearing over night, -90db, I got mildly dizzy again, and had that all too familiar bobble head doll feeling, I also had slight numbness around my ear, and that plugged feeling.
I took a course of steroids. Over the next 2-3 weeks things improved immensely, and hearing continues to claw its way back.
Hearing was at -25db a few weeks ago, and is continuing to slowly improve.
I had my 2 year MRI a few weeks after all of this started. It showed my AN had shrunk.
No necrosis was visible, but they tell me that contrast changes are not a predictor of a successful treatment or not.
I am at 2 Years 3 months now and things are great again.
Hang in there.
