On Monday, my wife woke up with a total loss of hearing in her left ear. Looking online, it said to treat this as an emergency so she went to the ER.
They admitted her to the hospital and she got a CAT scan and MRI to rule out a stroke or tumors. Apparently, it was caused by virus.
She finally got an appointment with an audiologist toady who, after tested, said she has zero response in her left ear. She was given a referral to an ENT doctor on Monday for possible steroid injections directly into the middle ear. Very Painful. Her other option is a hearing aid in her right ear that will help her brain interpret a stereo effect and maybe a cochlear implant which could cost up to $100K.
Just wondering if anybody has ever experienced this and did any of your hearing ever come back after treatment.
Obviously, my wife is freaked out.
My wife is going to show her audiologist the link to the 2E1 headphones. Thanks again!
My pleasure! I am glad I could help in return when I came here looking for helpful info myself! Merry Christmas!
