A member asked:
I have alopecia on my face. can it spread to my ears and cause me to lose my hearing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fortunately no: Good news is that your hearing is not in any danger at all from your alopecia. Alopecia and deafness are very different and are also caused by different disease processes. If you notice a change in your hearing, you may want to see an audiologist. In the meantime see your regular doctor to discuss hearing loss in more depth. Good luck.
