Does anyone know of anyone who has had any permanent hearing loss from a flight?
I had Sudden Hearing Loss about ten years ago which rendered my left ear practically useless (no speech recognition), and moderate hearing loss in my right ear. I tried everything including steroids then but nothing helped my case. In Sept i was on a plane flight descent and felt excrutiating pain inside my ear canals, and when getting off the plane, i realized that i could only faintly hear. Most of my hearing came back but not all, and its been four months.
I was at a critical hearing point before the flight but now, it has become too difficult to function at work and they have put me on disability. Of course, i wont bore you with the insurance nightmares at the moment, lets just say i have not recieved a cent.
