A few days ago DP said he had completely lost hearing in one ear. WIthin a few hours, he couldn't even hear if he wiggled his finger in his ear. He went to the doc who sent him to the ENT dept at the hospital straight away. They tested his hearing, found he had almost none in that ear and prescribed him anti-virals and steroids in quite big doses. Five days later there is no improvement and he's due to go back to the consultant soon, plus an MRI on December 1.
He has no other symptoms but feels pretty out of sorts, and a sort of thumping in his head (not pain).
We are supposed to be getting married in three weeks. I don't know whether to cancel the wedding.
I have read stuff online but can't work out how likely this is to be serious.
Thanks
