Man suddenly lost hearing aged 26 and says rare condition 'wrecked social life'

Marion Marincat was 26 when he first noticed something wasn’t quite right with his hearing. “It was like the feeling when you come out of a plane, your ears are blocked and you need to pop them,” the entrepreneur recalls.

“I thought I had flu, I kept trying to pop my ears. But within a few months, I just couldn’t hear any more.”

Marion, who used to work on renewable energy projects, found himself suffering 80% hearing loss and tinnitus. He was unable to take part in meetings or have conversations with colleagues.
