I have damage to my brain and nervous system from exposure to toxic chemicals. I have lost some of the hearing in my ear. It is annoying.

Has anyone experienced having damage to the auditory nerve that is not age related? How is it determined to be nerve damage?

Many different neurotoxic chemicals and drugs are ototoxic, (toxic to the hearing system). Toluene is now a well known ototoxic chemical that causes high frequency hearing loss and tinnitus,(high pitched sounds or ringing in the ears). . . there are numerous scientific studies that verify this.

For information on this and other neurotoxic symptoms from neurotoxic chemicals please visit our website. The Canadian Neurotoxicity Information Network at http://www3.sympatico.ca/cnin/

Robert, Thank you for your response to my query. I will pass this along to my daughter and hope that a pinched nerve is the answer. Wouldn't that be nice? Hope you find relief for your problem soon. Our hearing is such a precious thing we often take for granted! God Bless You, jnb82
