Should I be worried about fluctuating hearing?

Lost 60 dB mid-November (low-freq, mostly below 1000 Hz), then went up to -40 dB in 1 week. 1.5 months of stagnation, then recovered 20 dB in ~12 hours. A few days later it's a bit more muffled again -- but during the 1.5 months of stagnation I've had these fluctuations every other day. Should I care at all? I am tired of running back to the ENT, the audiologist lady already calls me by my first name :)
