re: OT Med Advice - Deaf in Left Ear - ENT in Three Weeks or Urgent Care Tomorrow?

In the late 90s I woke up dead in my right ear. Went to infirmity on LSUs campus who said it wast wax so they ordered some hearing tests and blood work.

Later that week, after he got the results he decided to admit me to OLOL because I had a blood clot that caused some nerve damage. Spent a few days in the hospital on steroids and blood thinners but still dead and not dead.

My suggestion is to seek medical care at your earliest convenience. Tell your pcp and/or ent office what is going in and see if they can squeeze you in. If they can't, find a new pcp and ent and call other ENTs to check on non urgent but important availability. Ochsner is real good for same day appts for those who have issues.
