Martin,

I work for Westone Laboratories, where we make custom and universal fit products for the ear: Hearing Aid earpieces, in-ear monitors, custom hearing protection, etc.

We have several audiologists on staff, some AuD, some MA. All of them would recommend that you see an audiologist about your hearing issue. Do not merely go to a hearing aid sales shop - see an audiologist.

Persons here will not be able to even remotely diagnose your situation. I can say that I am acutely aware of sudden/instantaneous changes to hearing function for which there appears to be no physical cause. I am hoping that is not the case for you.

With some Google searching, it seems that there is an audiology program at the local university in Manchester. Check in there to see if they have a clinic. Most legitimate university based audiology track programs have a very good clinic on-site.
