Please, I cannot agree that because other people have similar symptoms that you can therefore conclude they are benign.
You have at least two "red-flag" symptoms, according to the link I earlier provided.
"Clinicians should specifically inquire as to red flag symptoms, such as exertional onset, chest pain, dyspnea, low back pain, palpitations, severe headache, focal neurologic deficits, diplopia, ataxia, or dysarthria prior to the syncopal event."
Exertional onset may be benign if it happens once in a blue moon, but you have had it many times. Also, you mentioned loss of hearing, which is *not* commonly associated with syncope. It falls into the "focal neurologic deficit" category. I have no idea if you others of these high concern symptoms.
