Possible Causes
As there is often no clear cut etiology, the following are possible contributory causes: sudden pressure changes in the ear during airplane travel and scuba diving, unusual physical exertion or strain, previous ear surgery, recent upper respiratory infection, drugs such as birth control pills and antibiotics that are toxic to the ears, smoking, and acoustic trauma (sudden or prolonged loud noise exposure). In a majority of cases, the exact etiology is unknown and the underlying pathology is suspected to be due to problems with inner ear circulation. It is well known that patients have a better chance of recovery of the recent loss of hearing when seen early in the course of their ailment.

Treatment
Treatment of sudden hearing loss varies, depending on the suspected cause. The patient may be given medicine to increase circulation of the inner ear and to reduce excessive fluid buildup in the middle or inner ear. Carbogen therapy, which increases the amount of oxygen to the inner ear, may be started if there is a suspected circulation problem of the inner ear. A specific regimen is indicated if there is fluid buildup in the middle or inner ear and surgery may be required for an inner ear tumor or a leak of inner ear fluid. The patient may be advised to stop the use of birth control pills, smoking, drugs, alcohol, caffeine, or to restrict the amount of strenuous activity, as well as to watch his intake of fats and cholesterol.

I lost a lot of my hearing from not wearing ear plugs on the rifle range for only one. Any infection in the ear can cause hearing loss. It may be due to clogging of puss in the ear canal. They have hearing test but I assume a doctor will look into your ear first.

Possible things to cause sudden hearing loss: being in a band (serious), ear drum rupture or tear, if one of the important bones in your ear breaks.
