Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

It is quite reasonable that you are concerned about your health. Your memory loss and hearing loss could be due to ongoing small brain strokes .

Yes you need to see a neurologist for this purpose as there are some other causes of memory loss which are quite easily treatable. The neurologist shall evaluate for that and if he finds some reversible cause he shall start medications for it .

But if your problem is exclusively due to ongoing/ recurrent stroke then it is not a good sign as you may not recover completely but further occurrence can be reduced significantly.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
