I've had this hearing issue for 10-12 years and seen many doctors without a clear solution. Recently, an audiometry test showed my right ear is fine but the left ear doesn't pick up any beeps at any frequency. The doctor said there's no treatment except a hearing aid and ruled out surgery unless it's a bone or tumor issue. They mentioned one surgery option but said it's not guaranteed since it might be a nerve problem. Is there really no way to fix this 100% or am I stuck with a hearing aid for life?

I'm struggling with allergies and sinus issues that have been bothering me for a long time. Every morning I wake up with pain below my eyes and eyebrows. If I take steam, the pain reduces for a bit, but it comes back. On top of that, my right ear has been blocked for over eight months. Just when it feels like it's getting better, I get hit with cold allergies and it's blocked again. It's really frustrating because I can't hear people properly. What do you think I should do?

I've been having a lot of pain around my throat, especially near my neck. These pains have been on and off for a while, but for the past 34 days, they've gotten worse. I've noticed a small lump near my Adam's apple, almost like a clot. Has anyone experienced something like this? What should I do?

The persistent and worsening throat pain, along with a palpable mass near the Adam's apple, warrants urgent medical attention; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist
