Many patients report life changing results from sacral nerve stimulation, though it's not suitable for everyone and more research is needed to establish whether it's effective long term.
Therese has chosen not to go ahead with surgery at this point.
She's still managing her condition through diet and physiotherapy, but she urges others to seek out help if they start experiencing more severe symptoms or changes down there.
She says it's worth a checkup.
Helen's visit to the GP confirmed she did have something to worry about.
So Helen says the GP is horrified, but the registrar isn't fussed.
What about the audiologist?
an ear, nose and throat surgeon, an ENT.
He practices in Perth.
The technical name for this unexpected loss of hearing is sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
It's also known as sudden deafness.
Estimates of how many people are affected by sudden sensorineural hearing loss vary wildly.
The medical literature suggests it's anywhere from 5 to 160 people per 100,000 each year.
That's a pretty loose statistic, but what we can say is that it's uncommon, but not unheard of, and is often missed by doctors.
For those who find themselves suddenly deaf in one ear, it can be overwhelming.
Overnight, ordinary events became distressing for Helen.
The hearing loss is one thing, but tinnitus, a ringing, roaring, or rushing sound in the ears, often comes with it.
So what causes someone to suddenly, without warning, lose their hearing?
virus or tiny amounts of bleeding or inflammation may be somehow disrupting the workings of the cochlea, a spiral-shaped cavity in the inner ear which helps convert vibrations into electrical signals for the brain.
In other cases, the hearing loss is because of benign tumours that grow on nerves in the ear that disrupt hearing.
