Sudden Hearing Loss

For Hearing Emergencies phone Sydney 02 9327 8280.


Sensorineural or Sudden Hearing Loss affecting one ear is regularly seen at Edgecliff Hearing. This condition may require urgent steroid treatment. Patients often report that they had cold or flu symptoms just prior tot he Sudden Hearing Loss. Patients may incorrectly self-diagnose as having a cerumen build up in the external ear canal, or a middle ear infection.

Doctors, Edgecliff Hearing will see your patient on the same day as the referral if a Sudden Hearing Loss is suspected.

We can diagnose whether the loss is sensorineural or a more simple conductive hearing loss. The results can be phoned, faxed or emailed back to you on the same day.

Call our offices and ask for the emergency referral details you can keep in your office ready for when they are needed.
