I wasn't sure what AIED was the acronym for. Here it is:
Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is an inflammatory condition of the inner ear. It occurs when the body's immune system attacks cells in the inner ear that are mistaken for a virus or bacteria. AIED is a rare disease occurring in less than one percent of the 28 million Americans with a hearing loss.

It is a crazy disease to be tonight diagnosed with. Ultimately, I may go deaf and need to cook your implants trying to find meds that might remove the information which hopefully will help me from losing my hearing super rare, mostly middle-aged women some people say it’s stress related some people say not. I reached out to Mayo hoping they would have some other information but I’ve yet to hear back. I really appreciate this connect through Mayo though. And volunteers like you and mentors it’s amazing. Thank you so much.
