I've lost my eye sight temporarily before. The last 2 days my hearing is going funky. It is like my ears have to pop when driving through mountains or flying on a plain. I'm not sick or anything either.

I have a problem with ear wax clogging my left ear. I permanently lost a little bit of my hearing in that ear. I was tested and my hearing isn't bad enough for a hearing aid. There is no other explanation than my MS. It was also my left eye when I had optic neuritis.

I was diagnosed with Menier's disease ( a hearing disease) at the same time I was diagnosed with MS. I still have not regained my hearing to the point that I can understand most conversations and hearing aids do not work. It makes me feel so isolated when I cannot communicate with others.
Before this happened, I used to chew gums when I traveled by plane and it worked with the popping.
