To slow hearing loss, Rush was taking a steriod and arthritis medication

I think the House Clinic paper mentions that the 12 study subjects were given prednisone, also without effect. I experienced a brief hearing loss a couple of years ago, and I surely don't want to experience that again. Thank God, my hearing returned. You cannot imagine how isolated you feel when you cannot hear. I feel great empathy for the deaf.

My brother went deaf when he was in first grade. The teacher thought he was stupied. The kids tormented him because he couldn't read. The visiting nurse thought it was something else and advised my parents to take him to a specialist. His tonsils were putting pressure on his "inner ear tubes." His tonsils were removed and he was able to hear again. But he had to repeat first grade in a different school.
