Is it normal to lose hearing in both ears for 30 seconds?

I was in the shower, able to hear perfectly, when the sound of the water hitting the floor gradually faded over 15 seconds, becoming almost inaudible. All I could hear was the bathroom fan. This lasted for 30 seconds, then my hearing returned in both ears over 15 seconds. I was not dizzy or nauseous during this.

    I've been through this. Nothing to worry about though.

    Definitely not normal but I've experienced similar. I was sitting at the edge of the shower and slowly both my hearing and vision cut to static for about thirty seconds before slowly coming back.

    I find that this happens to me when a shower is too steamy and it almost messes with my breathing and the intake of oxygen. Hopefully this was of some help, its a super strange situation to be in.

    I don't know anything about this. You aren't getting dizzy or nauseous, so I don't think it's anything TOO serious. However, if you're really concerned, you may wanna see a doctor (or at least look on WebMD)
