meningitis after effects

[spanner7853]

My husband is now 32 and had meningitis when he was 2. It left him profoundly deaf, He often has headaches and tinnitus as well as not being able to sleep and wondered if any one knows if this is a common side effect of having meningitis? Any info is helpful. x
