In this personal episode of the Psychoaudiology Podcast, I sit down with my mum to talk through her sudden sensorineural hearing loss in 2018 — an event that reshaped her understanding of her ears and her balance.
She shares the confusion of those early hours, the critical role of her vestibular system, and the emotional impact of losing hearing without warning. We also explore the links she drew between her thyroid removal and the hearing loss, as well as why she couldn’t receive the standard corticosteroid injection due to dangerously high pressure behind her eye — a risk many patients and clinicians aren’t aware of.
This episode blends lived experience with clinical insight, offering a powerful look at what sudden hearing loss feels like from the inside, and what we can all learn from her journey.
