[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 37 and lost my hearing in one ear after my second child was born (otosclerosis). While I will eventually get surgery for it, given that I had a baby at the time I went out and got a hearing aid asap. It helps so much and has made all of my interactions better - and you can't really even notice it.

I'm a little confused by the pp that said that a hearing aid isn't good for that situation - OP, the best thing to do is get a hearing test and evaluate your options with a hearing specialist. [/quote]

Me again - also wanted to say if you haven't had your ears checked out yet, what tipped off my ENT as to what was going on (after multiple doctors misdiagnosed) was that I had recently had a baby - otosclerosis can be made worse by hormones from pregnancy and breastfeeding. Your symptoms sound very similar to mine, and I realized I actually had pretty substantial hearing loss - the other ear was overcompensating a lot. I'm so glad I got a hearing aid because things are much better now (and vanity-wise, it's really fine, plus I get to crack a lot of jokes about it). [/quote]
