No, it can be challenging to find someone that understands what you are going through.

You can behave like each other, the condition should not affect your relationship

Has not made a difference. Although I've worked with some idiots who had no problem at one point blurting out 'you're deaf' (and I am not!).

Yes. Nothing changes just because you got this
May you Need Hearinghelp but that should not be relevant in a Relationship

It has not been a factor for me but I've been fortunate with large spans of time between bouts.

Difficult as for reasons mentioned before. The foul smelling discharge and the inability to do things that your partner may enjoy can be a great hindrance to long lasting relationships.

Yes minus hearing issues

I don't have an answer to this question. All I know is my own personal history with relationships with me having this disease. And it is difficult.
