Today I was talking with an acquaintance and suddenly lost all sight and hearing for about 3 minutes, and am not sure what caused this to happen I was fine one minute but then it suddenly overwhelmed me.

How common is hearing loss? Is it less common than vision loss?

It seems like a lot of people have vision loss and need glasses but I don’t see that many people with hearing loss.
How come vision loss is a lot more common?

does anyone know of an organization dedicated to people that have both vision and hearing loss?

I am not totally deaf/blind. But I am blind in one eye and my ‘good’ eye only correctable to 20/40 in my left eye. Unfortunately, my left ear is 80% deaf. So I see from my left eye and hear from my right ear. People with hearing difficulty use their vision to help them. People who have low vision often use hearing to help them. I have difficulty doing either. Because of the combination of losses. But since I am not totally either I haven’t been able to find others like myself.

Migraine headaches, numbness in left arm, hand, blurred vision in left eye, hearing loss, what is this a sign?
