A member asked:

Healthy wisdom tooh causing problems? having slow unilateral hearing loss for 2 years now. ctscan negative, 1 wtooth somewhat tilted, 0 symptoms ever.

Rule out tumor: I do not think that your teeth are causing your hearing loss. But a slowly progressive unilateral hearing loss is a reason for an MRI with contrast to rule out an acoustic tumor.
