Off To A Good Start

It's day two of 2008 and I can see how this year is going to play out already. I'll be surprised if I make it to the end of this year...

I woke up this morning with a sudden hearing loss in my left ear. I thought it was just plugged because of the cold and I was a bit sick to begin with. But I just read about sudden hearing loss and it's actually a medical emergency...

I'm now actually scared. I'm going to leave for the doctor's soon [and I don't even know if they're taking any patients today], but I can't imagine myself wearing a hearing aid... But if these are the cards that are dealt to me, I have no choice but to play 'em...

Good for you for getting to the doctor asap. Sudden hearing loss needs to be treated immediately by an otologist or otolaryngologist who understands its significance. Be sure to ask about steroid treatment and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. These have been known to have success with some patients.

Should you need support, I hope you'll join us at HearingExchange, http://www.HearingExchange.com, an online community for people with hearing loss. We've helped thousands of people since 2000.

Good luck,
