Celiac disease can cause hearing loss. Since people with autoimmune diseases can get more than one, think about whether or not you get sick after eating gluten (wheat, barley, rye, oats) and then get tested if you do. Did the ENT say what might've caused it? Did you see an ENT? That might be the next step if you didn't.

I don't get sick after eating gluten, so it isn't celiac disease.
The ENT said that I had an unusual loss of hearing. I can hear high and low frequencies, but there is more loss in the middle. He thinks I may have been born with it and that it worsened with age (I'm 57). He is also going to retest my hearing in 3 months to make sure it isn't an autoimmune problem like lupus or RA (which I don't have). |

Well, don't so easily discount anything, since celiac disease and lupus can have no apparent symptoms. A few blood tests might be reassuring.
