Fevers will do that.;
My brother is deaf in one ear from a case of the measles in 1959.
Lost much of my hearing in the late 60’s due to a reaction to antivenin. The rest was lost while serving with the 502 during Vietnam, field artillery plays hell on the hearing.
Its a ridiculous headline, isn’t it?
My grandmother, my dad, his sisters all eventually lost hearing in their left ears after a cold or flu, usually in their late 50s or 60s. I feel my own left ear become blocked when I have a bad cold, so it may be coming to me.
