It seems that her aunt has had this experience through several pregnancies, and after the baby is born, it clears up. My eldest daughter suffered a permanent hearing loss in one ear, which began during her pregnancy with her first child.  Several ENT's she consulted said that tisssues swell during pregnancy all over the body, and the swelling in the inner ear can damage the auditory nerve. They predicted that she would not have a problem with the future pregnancies, and, fortunately, later pregnancies never affected the other ear.   Riki Koenigsberg --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
