Hearing loss is the most common after-effect of meningitis. Difficulties can range from mild hearing loss through to profound deafness in one or both ears. Julie suffered hearing loss as a result of meningitis. She now lives with a cochlear implant.

I'm 36 and caught meningitis when I was 28. It's a humbling experience. Lost hearing in both ears and now using cochlear implants. God is good 🙏
