I had a CSF leak when my son was born, 9 years ago. It was due to an epidural and my vertebrae was shorter than average, so they punctured too far. I was in pain for about a week--headaches, stiffness, sensitive ears. I got a blood patch done about a week after he was born and I thought all was fine. The headaches immediately went away and never returned. But my hearing loss has never returned to nornal...is there anyone out there that has experienced this? I didn't notice the hearing loss because it was gradual. Also, the ringing has never left either. I now wear hearing aids, I'm only 36 yrs. old. My right ear is sever loss and my left is moderate. If there is anyone out there that has any ideas on if my hearing loss is treatable, I'd appreciate a reply or response. I didn't realize till now, explaining my hearing loss to my chiropractor that it could be connected. I've not asked my doctor as of yet, since I just thought of it today. (I will be giving them a call soon). I'd appreciate any positive comments. thanks....rustiemom@gmail.com
