Hearing Loss - Serious Question

Pooka · 07-08-2008, 02:16 PM

Thanks to a bout of menigitis I have seriously deminished hearing in my right ear. For about 2 weeks I couldn't hear out of it at all, but then the eardrum finally hemorrhaged and I slowley regaind some of the hearing. Apparently, the skin begins to rebuild itself from the center of the eardrum and works its way out the ear canal... so I still have nasty ulcerated flesh in there... the position just changes bit by bit... I go back to the doctor tomorrow for a 3rd follow up.

I had to remind Flint that if he was talking on that side of me the likelyhood that I didn't hear him was pretty high...

My mom has been deaf in her left ear for most of her life. As a result she brought us up signing, and following suit... I am teaching our children to sign.
