-- Posted by jackcrack at 5:45 pm on Sep. 23, 2008 So I have moderate hearing loss... I have to have hearing aids and don't really like them, so I learn to deal. But since my daughter has been born, I've been wearing them, so i can hear her cry, and start to speak. She had an ear infection not very long ago, and it seems like her hearing might have been affected by it... has anyone one here had hearing loss due to ear infections? How sever is it? Mine is due to a congenital defect.
