Hi Mony,
And WELCOME to the Forum!

I am glad you were able to go to the doctor about your sudden hearing loss - from what i understand from others, this could help your hearing return.
However, i wanted to point out that what Marianna said might be true too.
I went to 2 different ENTS over a course of 12+ years, starting when i was 40.
They did the standard hearing tests, but they were inconclusive. [Even the one in 10/2008 appeared 'inconclusive.']
But, since i knew about ANs (my sister was diagnosed in Summer 2008), i asked the new ENT for an MRI with contrast.
I just had to know what was going on!
I hope your hearing returns - i know i don't want mine to suddenly disappear.
You have lots of time to investigate all these things, including some financial assistance- then i would ask for the MRI with contrast - rules out ANs and such.
Good luck with everything!
Keep us posted on your progress.

Sincerely,
Sue
