I'm deaf!

Somehow my character became deaf fighting the pitfiend party in WK, I tried having my Deva cast remove curse but it didn't help and now I can't cast any spells. I slept a few times but I'm still deaf - what gives?

have you tried saying anything while you cant hear anything? he might try and cast haste,and say the wrong words without realising it. then he'd of cast a fireball on his fighter.

I don't know why it would effetct spells but I do get casting failure everytime now, I can't think of a way to dispel this. The temples won't(?) cast dispel magic and there's no item that I know of that cast's DM except weapons and I can't hit myself.
I'll just go back to an earlier save. :-(

In my game,Minsc went deaf during the same fight--cure disease does the trick.

Heal also works (at least, it did in my case)

Are they using the second level spell Deafness?

No, I don't think so. That spell wares out, and this deafness stays (I think forever unless dispeld), at least it stead at me after 3 times resting.

Deaf causes some sort spell failure rate. You can start casting, but might fail to finish (in contrast to silenced where you can't even start casting).
And yes, the 2nd level deaf spell won't wear off. What is worse it cannot be dispelled with Dispel Magic (it seems a bug as Dispel Magic should remove blindness/deafness according to the definition of those spells). The clerics cure/neuralize poison can do the work and also a Limited Wish:Heal.
