Q I am 71. The hearing in my right ear is almost nil. About a year ago, both ears itched like crazy at night. I used calamine lotion, and that calmed the itch. A week later, my right ear began to gurgle and then my hearing diminished. Will I get my hearing back?
A You have hope if you have an exam by your doctor to identify the cause of hearing loss. The loss of hearing due to aging is most often a slow process, not one that takes place in one week. Even if you have age-related hearing loss, hearing aids can be a great help in restoring sound to your ear.
Or you could have a wax impaction in that ear. Removal of the wax will give you your hearing back.
You're not going to get anywhere by self-treating. You need a professional opinion on something as important as hearing loss. You might be greatly surprised to see what some simple treatments could do for you. Start by seeing your family doctor.
I don't know what the itching came from. I don't see how it's related to hearing loss.
