Lost the hearing in my left ear years ago - it came back slowly but with tinnitus in both ears - the ringing - I prefer to describe it as tree peepers - gets louder in the evening - I have learned to ignore it - but at the same time I can't hear sounds that are in that pitch - got small hearing aids a few years ago when ears were really loud to sort of mask the tinnitus and bring in the sounds I wasn't hearing - birds for instance - it's annoying - I remember the sound of snow falling and rain on the leaves which is good as I won't be hearing them again - at the time - my neuro didn't think it was from MS but from a milogram I had just had - thought an air bubble had gotten in somehow and lodged in my ear - time has proved him wrong -
