I have sudden deafness in my left ear (meaning: I just woke up deaf one day and they don't know why) in exactly the frequency range used for speech. Even more than a decade later it feels weird that I can still hear certain common background noises but humans are almost completely silent on my left side

> I have sudden deafness in my left ear (meaning: I just woke up deaf one day and they don't know why) Ah, me too, but no sound at all. A specialist told me it was caused by a virus, but I never looked into which one, or asked for more info.. There was no treatment, except cochlear implant, which didn't sound too great. Hopefully it doesn't happen in the other ear also!
