Tante, do they attribute your hearing loss to MS? Or something else? Have they ruled out AIED (autoimmune inner ear disease)? Have you had blood tests to rule that out? Do steroids help your hearing loss? Do you have any family history of hearing loss?

I'm just curious, because I think that degree of hearing loss is a bit unusual in MS, isn't it? Is something else perhaps going on?

Sorry if you've posted about this elsewhere and I missed it!

Can you get a cochlear implant? Do you have an audiologist who is knowledgeable and helpful about assistive hearing technology?
