I lost my hearing, in both ears around the first of May. I finally got to see an ENT specialist yesterday. He basically told me that structurally, everything is fine. What I have is nerve damage. It could have been caused by my immune system overreacting to a virus. It caused swelling, which damaged the nerves to my ears. He put me on prednisone, then told my hubby that I have a 50% chance of getting my hearing back. If I don't respond to the prednisone, I won't be getting my hearing back. Also, he ordered an MRI, which my insurance company has yet to approve. So please keep me, my family, and my doctors in your thoughts and prayers. It was hard to see the expression on my hubby's face when he heard that I might not hear again. I laughed and told him that that means in the worst case, I get hearing aides. But still, I know that if he could fix this, he would...and that it hurts him to know that he can't..... In the meantime, I'm back to work.
So keep my classes in your thoughts as well.
