Hearing Loss
When the fungal infection affects the nerves in your ear, you might experience some hearing issues. In mind cases, a partial loss can occur in the form of muffled sounds or speech, difficulty hearing other people, as well as trouble understanding words. In some cases, your behavior might be changed, which helps you recognize the hearing loss. If left untreated in the long run, it can reduce the quality of life and make you withdraw from social settings or conversations. [4]
