Does anyone know if MS can affect a person's hearing? I have a difficult time comprehending what people say when in certain environments or situtions(On the phone, in the car, in public, etc) Many times I have trouble even when there is very little background noise.

I've had non-stop ringing in both ears for years now. I only notice it when I think about it. I have extremely horrible reactions to Solu-Medrol, which they always want to give me when I go to a doctor for any symptom or - God forbid - when I am admitted to the hospital. Last time my heart stopped 3 times and I ended up in the cardiac unit. But STILL they wanted to pump me full of Solu-Medrol. For this reason I am TERRIFIED of doctors and hospitals.

I'm not sure how common that is but this is MS and anything goes-right? Me, I've recently had problems identifying WHERE the sound is coming from. That can get a but freaky. Especially when you could swear you can hear your TV show coming from the oven or your son calling you from the fridge (ok that one is only freaky when you open the door and hes NOT there)

@christlina558 Absolutely.....I don't hear a lot of things, especially if there is a lot of sstuff going on at the time....too much input makes me crazy. Do not think it is rseally a hearing problem, but rather a brain to ear thing in my case.

It does effect your hearing. I have lost my hearing on my right side, but with a 5 round of IV I got most of it back.

Absolutely, yes. MS causes some people to lose their hearing.
