for starting this thread. I had a major flare up and lost hearing in both ears for a short period of time. Just stood looking at my business partners lips moving without hearing a sound. When my hearing came back it was not what it had been, and it still comes and goes. I noticed I had to have the tv at full volume at times. I have not had it checked as that is just one more expense, and I do not want to have to see in black and white one more thing RSD has taken away . Only sorry that others have to have this problem, but at least I know now my mind isn't playing games with me. Carose
