I am not sure If I have epilepcy. The Drs are not just bring this up. My symptoms, like you, i dont remember much at all. I usually come out of one seated, but someone whos with me has sat me down. When I was coming out of my episode was when I realized I couldnt hear the person speaking to me. Lasted shortly and then I asked what had happened.  I did not remember. Do you get severly fatigued for a couple days after a spell? I do. I have also noticed my dizzy spells have increased vetigo is still about the same. Do you have these as well? Are you on medication? Since I started seeing the Neuro I have not had any alchohol.  Just nervous about what is going on with my brain, Thanks for the reply

well  one if u have epilepsy it is not a good idea to drink at all cause it can cause siezures more often . as for the symptoms u r experiancing i have the same problem sometimes but i found that if i just sit on the floor with my head between my legs or lie down on the floor for a bit it does go away not permenently but it does keep u from injuring urself and it also helps to eat regularly the right foods of course get plenty of sleep and take ur meds as prescribed and dont drink alchohol anytime as far as the hearing being lost during and episode im not sure i dont remember much afterwards
