Hi there,

I have just passed my one year anniversary of finishing radiotherapy (my last treatment was on 05/24/19). During treatment and for a little while after my right ear became blocked and I lost most of my hearing. I was told this was normal and after a while it cleared up. Unfortunately it came back in January this year and since then i haven’t been able to hear properly, sometimes I have Tinnitus and occasionally can feel/faintly hear my pulse rate there. I have been to the GP, had it syringed and also done a course of antibiotic drops. I am now waiting for an appointment with the ENT specialist.

Has anyone else experienced a loss of hearing? Is it something which could be permanent? It’s not painful but very irritating and can make me feel unbalanced at times.

Thanks in advance.
Juliet
