hearing loss

I've looked it up and apparently, it's a rare effect of MS only 6%. And doctors prefer to say that is probably caused by another factor. I've just lost hearing in my second ear, the first went 12 years ago in very similar sudden onset. I'm on steroids but I have to say this has really knocked all happiness out of me. I recovered very distorted low level hearing in my first ear and imagine I'll recover some from my second ear but I'm still devastated. Listening to music is one of the things I cling to to lift my mood and I share it with my kids. I feel like I'm being hollowed out. I guess the steroids are making me miserable as well. I'm trying to be positive for my kids but I can't stop crying. I'm thinking about the recoveries I've made from total numbness or sight loss to pretty good sight despite damage but hindsight is different to hope and I'm feeling pretty hopeless.

@funnybank , MS is a ******* (choose your own word) of a condition, robbing us all of so much. We have to be resilient. Not so much for us, but for those close to us. Stay strong.

Thanks Stumbler. I'm not the spammer/scammer, I must have missed it.
