Yes, Wendy, I was told that when it happened to me and I met a high school kid when I asked for a hearing device at a theatre and he told me he had the same thing happen after a bout with pneumonia. Apparently it isn’t just an age thing either.

It can happen during air travel as well, I think due to changes in air pressure. One can emerge from a flight with sudden hearing loss. It’s truly astonishing that there’s not more public education about this, and the need to get treatment promptly.
