If you ever have a sudden hearing loss you should see an ENT immediately and state clearly that it is a sudden loss. There is a very short window to get on steroids so that you may not have permanent damage. Better safe then sorry.

I had profound hearing loss several years ago in right ear, went to an ENT, glad I did as I regained my hearing after 6 weeks of treatment on oral prednisone. ENT consulted with neuro and they did not agree as to whether this was MS related. Had an MRI to rule out acoustic neuroma. MRI showed a new brainstem lesion that may have contributed to the hearing loss. I will never know for sure, just glad someone agreed to treat me with steroids when it happened.

First of all MS is different 4 each person so you need a better doctor

I am so glad that the hearing aid helps you. My vision will also go wacko when I am tired, hot or stressed as well.

I have a hearing aid in my left ear; the audiologist said that because I lost some of my hearing in that ear is the reason I get really frustrated when I am in a group setting and there is more than one voice; I cannot separate the sounds. The hearing aid helps.

When I am stressed, my vision takes a hit. It is, thankfully, temporary.
