I've been using CPAP since 1999 with a pressure varying from 11 to 13.5 depending on study results over the years. I cannot report any permanent hearing loss, and certainly none attributable to CPAP. Since mid-2016, I've had an automatic, so I typically spend about 45 minutes at a higher pressure each night now. Still no hearing issues.

BTW, I did have a temporary hearing loss in 2015, but it was due to excessive fluid in the ear canal. CPAP was not incriminated by the doctor.

A voice of reason, at last, as for the blamers:
