I have been on three different antibiotics for my ears, but they are still stopped up and I am having a hard time hearing at work. I also have profound hearing loss and wear hearing aids bilaterally. I have been experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, and my doctor prescribed an antihistamine, which I don't think will help much. I am struggling with this for almost two months now, and I am anxious about anything surgically related to my ears. What can be done to improve my hearing and alleviate my anxiety?
