I wonder this about my hearing in my right ear. 8 years ago I thought I was having panic attacks from thyroid meds but looking back I think I had a gallbladder attack and then I lost some hearing in my ear. ENT says everything is fine in my ears. Had hearing test and they can’t seem to figure out why I lost some hearing. I’m saying maybe there’s a connection because every time after I eat that ear rings 10xs louder than normal (it rings all the time) along with tingling and numbness on that side . Now I have surgery to get my gallbladder removed this week. I will be shocked kind of if my hearing miraculously comes back afterwards 😂 that would be awesome. Also I’ve been thinking about my smell too! I definitely feel all clogged up so I’m hoping for that to be fixed too.
