Has anyone experienced hearing loss from rheumatoid arthritis?

While the search results don't specifically mention hearing loss as a symptom of RA, they do discuss various ways RA can affect the body beyond the joints. RA commonly affects the eyes, causing conditions like dry eyes, scleritis, and uveitis. The disease can also cause brain fog, mouth and nose sores, and excessive sweating.

Since RA is an inflammatory autoimmune condition that can affect connective tissues throughout the body, it's worth discussing any hearing changes with your rheumatologist. They can help determine if there's a connection to your RA or if another cause might be involved.

If you're experiencing hearing loss, it's important to mention this to your healthcare team so they can properly evaluate and address your concerns.
