Hi: Similar question only when as a baby I was shoved onto the floor and my nose was broken side of my face cheek bone slightly misaligned, and as growing up my father ALWAYS struck me over the ears, I gradually lost my hearing starting about 15 and now I m in my 60 s and almost down to zilch. As well I only have about 1 good nostril from all of this, though I am smart, hold a good job, talk OK, hear myself talk but the incoming sound have grown fainter dimmer over the yrs. Is this caused from abuse? Thankyou for your opinion.
