Hearing

Well, I finally went to a Audiologist to have a hearing exam conducted as a follow up to my MVD complications.

I recently suffered hearing loss in my right ear (non my surgery-affected ear), which is what prompted me to pursue the Audiologist. Regarding that, it turs out I had a viral infection afflicting the right cochlea. Lucky for me, it has recovered 100%; scary for me because this affliction has the potential to be permanent. For me this would have translated into deafness.

Regarding my MVD hearing complication (left ear) this is what I learned. I have suffered an approximate 20% hearing loss in the high pitch range. I can hear low, bass tones fine, mid tones fine, but the upper tones blend in with tinnitus that I have.
