I’m hella paranoid about my hearing. My audiologist says it’s fine, but I want to join the Marines and yeah. I looked at the requirements and all, and my test says I’m in the normal range, but can you still have inner ear damage if you don’t have hearing loss? I heard that military tests your hearing to make sure you can hear and to see if you have inner ear damage because it will mess up your balance.

I am currently under neurological investigation for many symptoms. Cognitive impairment, muscle tremors, muscle weakness, fatigue and headaches. I have recently experienced hearing loss in my right ear with feelings of pain and pressure in it. I went to a doctor and they saw no signs of infection so I am now assuming this problem is tied into my other problems. Can hearing loss be a symptom of neurological illness and if so is it permanent? Could it be a symptom of nerve damage. Any help really appreciated, thanks.
The idea just popped into my head last night that I could do a research project to see if this is the case. Especially with the popularity of the airtight earbud and after reading about lawsuits against apple for hearing loss, I really wonder if all of this loud music is widening our ear canals or making our eardrums less sensitive over generations. Hm, maybe it’s the style of earphones that’s the culprit, since some people like listening really loud, compression or not.
It has been over a month that my 6 month old baby has had an ear infection. The doctor gave her antibotics for 5 days which did not work. She was then given Moxifloxacin and it did not help. My baby picks, and pulls at her ears and does not sleep like she used to before the infection. How long does it take for an ear infection to cause permanent hearing loss? Thank you for anyone that can help. I am worried about her losing her hearing.
