Symptom narrative

About 15 days (Oct 22) after receiving both the flu and covid vaccines (Oct 7) in same arm, I woke up from a. nap with total deafness in left ear. The very next morning I went to Urgent Care and they referred me to an Audio Lab and a ENT doctor all within 6 hours. I had an MRI done on October 24th which came out with no medical issues with brain. It was determined that I have Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (hearing loss in left ear). I have received 3 steroid injections to left ear, a prednisone prescription for inflammation, and I am receiving FDA approved Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy sessions. I still have deafness in left ear. Right ears is ok. It should be said that the Audio Lab Doctor confirmed these conclusions .
