Hearing problem while lying on back

Posted by georgine @georgine, Jul 23, 2016

I find I can barely hear when I'm lying flat on my back. This is a problem mainly during yoga class because I can not hear the instructor while in this position. I find I must lift my head in order to hear her. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Hearing Loss Support Group.

Hi @georgine, and welcome to Connect! I'm tagging @wesbig, @sophie1019 and @e3451 as they have all wrote about hearing problems recently. I also found some information on the causes of hearing loss from Mayo Clinic that you may find helpful: http://mayocl.in/1OXgwds.

Can you tell me a bit more about your symptoms? Do you have difficultly hearing out of both ears, or is one ear worse than the other?

Also, where else do you notice this? I ask that because I've taken several yoga classes where the instructor has the music up pretty high and have noticed that I can't always hear, depending on where I sit in the room.
