sudden hearing loss
This week I lost my hearing the evening of having ear wax removed. Too coincidental! The ENT says there's no connection. He used a currette to remove what he said was a moderate amount of was. I did feel pressure and at one point said a loud "ouch". I know of one other person who had severe vertigo for months , which started the day after her ear wax removed. Could there be a connection?

AC scores with out bone scores mean very little. You do not post your tympanometry scores.
Having bouts of vertigo after cerumen management with the use of water irrigation is common, and there is a logical explanation for that.
There is no logical explanation for a SNHL due to cerumen management with or without water irrigation and there is no logical explanation for continued bouts of vertigo years after cerumen management.

Audiogram shows a low freq. sensorineural loss, 65 dB at 250 thru to 40 at 2000 dB., average AC for SRT is at 43 .Membrane is in tact.I went for an MRI yesterday, and I've been on Prednisone for the last 5 days, with no apparent improvement.
I know there's a connection---sudden hearing loss within 24 hours of having this procedure- is just too coincindental. My son's sister-in-law developed severe vertigo, the morning after wax removal, and has suffered greatly for the last year . She knows of others who have had the same experiences ( ie sudden hearing loss and/or vertigo).
Maybe something about the procedure causes either an imbalance in the fluid or a jostling of the hair cells. HELP!! Someone out there might possibly have an explanation.
Thanks,
Linda

Linda, you should have tympanometry done to see if your ear drum has been perforated. If so, this would cause a temporary hearing loss, and as your ear drum heals your hearing will be restored.
If you have a sensory neural hearing loss after ear wax removal, then yes I would say their is no relationship.
You will not know the type/nature of you hearing loss until you get your hearing evaluated by an audiologist.
Good luck
