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.

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.
