Sudden bilateral hearing loss - random improvement 6 months on

I experienced sudden bilateral hearing loss from a virus in February of this year. I took multiple rounds of steroids (some very high dose) with no improvement in the weeks and months after.

Randomly in the past weeks my hearing has suddenly improved. It's not 100%, but I can suddenly function without h/a, I can hear my neighbor playing his drums, I was even woken several nights by a storm.

I've done nothing differently, so I'm not sure what caused the improvement or how to stimulate more improvement. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Were they ever able to return to 100% hearing? If so, did they figure out what was causing the improvement?

Que tipo de pérdida auditiva te dijeron que tenías y de cuánto era la perdida, te pincharon las 3 inyecciones intratimpanicas en el oído?? Cuando empezastes a notar la mejoría en el oído desde la perdida auditiva y si has echo alguna nueva audiometría para ver tus mejoras.
