Sponcsf leak-18mnths l8r meningitis-intermittent leak-7years after-meningitis again-nearly died lost hearing-how come worse second time after years?

Can happen : Till a good seal is there. You may want to discuss with your doctor/neurosurgeon the need to be put on low dose prophylactic antibiotic(s) and keep alternating brands till final surgical fix/spontaneous seal. A consultation with an infectious diseases specialist can help in choosing antibiotics to be used, wish you well and good luck
