I lost hearing in my left ear around 4 months ago and have been getting by. I’m due to get a cross-aid hearing aid soon enough.

The doctors still don’t understand how I lost my hearing (I’ve done an MRI scan recently and nothing came up). My biggest fear has now become losing hearing in my good ear, as this would drastically change my daily life. Are there any cases where this has happened? Is losing hearing in one ear an isolated event? or is it something that if not addressed can cause you to lose hearing in the other ear in some cases?

I’d love to hear from you guys as this has become a constant fear of mine, and if there is something I should be doing to avoid this happening to me, I need to know beforehand
