no answers from the docs

A friend of mine was rushed to the hospital because he had sudden hearing loss, couldn't talk very well, slurring his words, couldn't write. A couple of weeks prior to that he was battling pneumonia and kidney stones. The docs say his brain scans are fine and they don't have any idea what is wrong with him. he's slowly getting his hearing back and has no memory of his episode. any ideas of what is wrong with him?
