Going totally deaf in my left ear.
Ok guys this is pretty sudden and pretty serious. Ive been slowly losing hearing and been having trouble understanding words at times...I can hear speech but sometimes it sounds garbled and I'm just not processing what is being said. Its had me having my wife repeat what she says especially when shes speaking and not facing me. Well in the last two days its gotten noticeably worse and today I can put my finger in my right ear and I can barely hear anything. There is a sensation like there is fluid in my ear or something...kinda like when you need to pop your ears but its only in my left side. I'm at work and really cant do anything except try and flush it out with saline and peroxide. I dont know if that will even help but long story short my left ear hearing has gone bye bye. Please pray for me. I'm going to the doctor Thursday because Ill be off then.

Re: Going totally deaf in my left ear.
You need to go to an ENT. It could be a simple fix

Re: Going totally deaf in my left ear.
UPDATE!!!!!
I found a youtube video where a guy had the same issues and uses a baby suction bulb to blast it out with warm water....it worked! I "repurposed" a OB kit from here at work that had a suction bulb in it and it worked after about 3 tries. Total and instant relief!

Re: Going totally deaf in my left ear.
I've been wearing RIC (receiver in canal) type hearing aids for the past six years. The daily putting them in, and taking them out of the ear canal can cause wax buildup on the eardrums. My ENT says the worst thing to do is spray water into a plugged up ear, you'll get an infection for sure. He has to vacuum mine out periodically. Quite an interesting sensation, lol, but the results are amazing. BTW, people who need hearing aids but are too proud to wear them are just plain crazy. I love these things. These aren't your grandpa's squealing and buzzing hearing aids. The technology today will blow you away. I can even stream my cell phone or other Bluetooth enabled device straight into my ears without wearing headphones. However, my wife says I still have "selective hearing." :-)

I just saw this thread and am glad there was a happy ending. I am finding I must be losing some frequency range in my hearing as I can still hear things just fine as far as volume goes but it is harder for me to distinguish words. Not bad by any means but certainly different than before.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
