It was when I stood up and the world just rotated around me and I was lying on my side suddenly. I got it investigated and they said I would get used to it. I did. I also think this may have been the start of diabetic damage of the ear. Just my opinion since no one else explained it.Slowly since then the hearing has adopted odd characteristics. I was in an office. I could not hear what the two people next to me were saying but I could hear the little radio that was 15ft away. When I watch films the "incidental" music drowns everything else out. American films are the worst. They have music and laughter tracks everywhere. I sometimes use subtitles.So is it diabetes or just age. They are probably one and the same thing where hearing is concerned.</blockquote>
