“Do you having hearing issues after being in space?”
I am a 38 year old male. I was wondering do you having hearing issues after being in space?

Great question, and not one that Ive thought in depth about before. My initial answer is no, the hearing should not be changed if you were in space. What definitely changes if someone spends a length of time outside of the earths orbit in zero gravity, is that the vestibular system becomes acclimated to zero gravity; then when astronauts return to Earth they need to spend time helping their balance system get back to normal again. The hearing should not be impacted by zero gravity, however, and the only issue I would foresee would be pressure equalization.
