A member asked:
Being 23 is it normal to have a very noticeable difference in the ability of hearing in the left ear more than the right ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A major difference in hearing between the two ears is not normal. You should have that evaluated by your primary doctor first and then may need an ENT specialist and/or audiologist.
