That's no fun, and especially having to go into those offices with all those scary instruments. I guess it's best to look at it as, they are instruments of healing—in the long run. Hope things get better.

I took her to the EMT and was shocked that she had over 50% hearing loss in both ears. I was in shock as I never noticed anything wrong with her. However, all the signs were there, but I let them go by me as I thought she was so perfect. She used to sing in a language all her own and often her older siblings would answer for her. For fifteen years we were back and forth to the doctor's office, had procedure after procedure and she had to wear specially made ear plugs for showers or swimming. She had language problems that she overcame and everything is fine today. She, though, can't stand loud noises and often when visiting me, turns down the TV because I have it turned up because my hearing is now impaired.

The doctor made her remove her hearing aid, then spoke to her in whispers; she heard every word.

Turns out I do have considerable upper-frequency hearing loss which has run to tinnitus. Poor me. However, as a child I had very keen ears and was asked by visiting audiology nurses how I did so well on the hearing tests. I always replied that it was because I studied very hard for them. My humor was not appreciated. Perhaps your son can use that line to better advantage. So glad everything worked out in his favor.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.com
