Mental health and sexual relationships
My sister is 30 years old with mild to severe
learning
disabilities
and quite severe mental health problems. She can become very low and threatens suicide quite and episode of extreme anger. However this only tends to happen after a break up with a man she’s been seeing.

Hearing test
Has anybody else suffered from hearing loss? Just had Audiologist home visit and assured me that RA was responsible even though my Consultant said it wasn't! Who's right?

CLL and Hearing loss
I am 65 yo male. W&W. First diagnosed in Jan 2019. My hearing loss has accelerated in the past year and I don't think it's just because I'm getting older. I've done two hearing tests in the past 6 months. The most recent suggested a "catastrophic" loss of hearing in my right ear for no apparent reason

Hearing loss after meningitis - ANSD?
With hearing loss being a common after effect of meningitis, I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this before, as our doctors are scratching their heads. My son, who is now four, had Pneumococcal Meningitis at 14months, and thankfully has come out with just some minor emotional/behavioural issues and

Sudden hearing loss and RA
Hi. Has anybody ever had SSNHL (sudden sensorineural hearing loss)? I woke up last week completely deaf in 1 ear. I got an emergency ENT appointment and had various hearing tests and given the above diagnosis. It is quite rare and the cause is often never found. If not caught early it can be permanent

Good consultant for pulsatile tinnitus?
Hi can anyone recommend a private consultant in the UK (near London) to get me started on diagnosis and treatment for pulsatile tinnitus? I've had it for a few years and been through standard GPs and ENT, hearing test and MRI scan all showing a blank. I need someone who knows what they're doing, and

Ear problem...worried
Anyone had a virus that affected their ears? I was on Antibiotics, got rid of cough, but left me deaf in right ear. Tried warm olive oil, this removed a ball of liquid yellow wax, but still crackle in ear. Went to have hearing test at Specsavers she said there was blood inside my right ear. ( I do wear
