AIED....Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease.
1% cause of deafness.
Although I was born HOH...I developed Rhuematoid arthritis teen years and last few years getting worse and the AIED kicking in.
More hearing loss....maybe going deaf if it kicks in another notch.
More troubling is the balance problem associated with it. Like carsick without the nausea....'knock on wood'.
AIED and rheumatoid both autoimmune diseases associated.
So if you are rheumatoid this could be a factor.
