Hello,

Yes, few fevers may cause neuromylitis. Lead to degeneration of the nerve. If the lesion at up to cochlea we may use cochlear implants. But if the lesion at the nerve or brain it is difficult to treat. Anyway please share your MRI (brain), pure tone audiometry and tympanogram reports with your doctor and get them reviewed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
