I am a 28 year old male. I am suffering from reduced hearing as long as I can remember. I did a hearing test first time in 2016 They found out SNHL in both ears. 36dB in right n 48dB in left. Have mild tinnitus in right ear. It increases when I ride bike or go to a function. And comes down after a day or 2. Again I did hearing test last week. SNHL has deteriorated to 61dB in right n 69 dB left. So I want to know why has it progressed too rapidly in two years. Also the recent PTA was performed by a different audiologist. And in practical life I find hearing in right ear much better and left. But in test it shows its all same in both ear. Impedance test turned out normal by the way but I could not tolerate the loud noise during the test. I dnt use hearing aids. And I have deviated septum. Does it affect hearing with blockage of nose?

Dear sir, Thank you for a descriptive post. You seem to have a progressive hearing loss. If you are not sure about the results, you can repeat the test at some other clinic. And if again the results are similar, I suggest you go for some good hearing aids. And yes your hearing loss can aggrevate with blockage of nose but that increase will be temporary. For further consultation you can contact me through this portal. Thank You.
