So now I am...

I went from normal hearing to profoundly deaf in a period of a few days, cause still unknown even though my ENT keeps pointing at a mysterious unidentified virus of which I had no symptoms.

I am a firefighter/EMT I don't know if I will be able to do my job because it is important to "listen" to your patient, their breathing, and other vitals. not to mention ask them about their situation.. Went to an ENT specialist friday and he is saying 50% loss on the left and 70% on the right...

I am wondering if anyone has heard of similar stories like mine. I am a frequent migraine sufferer, a while back I had a terrible migraine, but this one was different, no aura, no sensitivity to light sound or smell, just a splitting headache with a twist, a high pitched ringing in my ears. I...
