I also went completely deaf in one ear, last year and have been told the nerve damage is permanent. Are you sure that the popping sound isn't just tinnitus? I have that too!
Yes. But it's not really there for anyone else to hear. No-one knows how to cure it and no-one really knows what causes it - except that it increases with stress.
Recently it's been like I am blow drying my hair with a hairdrier and then other people have to talk to me louder than that hairdrier. It's driving me nuts!!!
Last week I must've had a football team on my shoulder blowing whistles!!! You can imagine trying to get to sleep!! Or if you waken during the night, trying to get back to sleep!!
Oh, thats just a sumbitch! The only thing i ever liked about my deaf ear is going to sleep is awesome- all i have to do, is lay on my good ear, and bam, natural earplugs! I defiantly don't have tinnitus.... That would suuuck
Iin for nerve damage to repair itself and restore partial deafness?

So its possible to re-gain partial hearing, at least? I am compleatly deaf in that ear, and even partial hearing would be an improvement!

It's noises in your ear. It can be ringing, whistling or 'white noise' - awful nuisance!
