Hearing loss

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Ramsey, MN

I am convinced that my moderate to severe hearing loss is at least partially due to MS. It makes sense to me that the auditory nerves can be damaged just like the other nerves MS affects. I wear hearing aids but still don't understand everything that is said to me. When i mention it to others in health care i am told it is not due to MS. Thanks

Hi Warrior 🌞 I was told that I do not have actual hearing loss, but rather my brain cannot process verbal info at the same rate that most people speak. He said that is probably why I always use captions when watching any and everything. I hope you find your solutions 🧡🧡🧡
