I wonder how many ANers were treated for allergies before hearing loss presented itself?

Allergies and sinusitis were blamed for my facial tingling and dizziness for 2 months before I finally got an MRI.

I was  treated for over a year for allergies and sinus problems, specialist after specialist. I had ear fullness, facial numbness, and dizziness, but hearing was fine. It was my dentist that actually made my AN diagnosis.
