Dh thought maybe a deep ear or sinus infection could be a factor. Maybe he has an ear infection but doesn't feel it?

I don't know. I think I would try to figure out a way to get a second opinion.
My dh had a cold a few years ago while traveling (by plane) and put off seeing a doctor for fullness in his ears, loss of hearing, etc. When he *finally* went to the doctor, it took forever for the fluid to drain, and it left him with tinnitis (constant ringing in the ear). This has been 3 years ago now, and the ringing is still there.
I just don't think it's wise to mess with hearing

Dear Jenn
Thanks for the update. It is quite possible I think that the ear problem could be caused by the swollen nasal passages - I have had a similar problem - and Flonase should help. The only thing is that I had ear fulness and discomfort - but not total hearing loss. Sinus infections and allergies can cause real ear problems.
The good thing about going to an ent/ota is that their hearing test is very detailed - they test all different frequencies etc - and they can figure out if there is an inner ear problem.
It is a relief too that your husband is not having balance problems related to the hearing loss.
I shall be praying all weekend.

Just a follow-up -- the Flonase did the trick. His hearing all came back in a matter of days, and no other symptoms.
So odd for him, no sickness or allergies that he knew of...I'm the one with the chronic rhinitis!
