Another few pages in my massive hospital file

Less than one minute read time.

Was back at Queen's today to see the hearing specialist. After a audiogram I was ushered into to see the man himself adter my huge hospital folder wouldn't fit in the rack by the door and it fell oon the floor scattering my medical history asunder.

The docotor had a look in my ears - looked at my audiogram and asked me if I have any hearing problems. Yes - can't hear the TV. Can only use the phone in my left ear but the biggest problem is a hearing aid might stop my wife moaning at me! He sat for a moment then said that if hearing aids could do that he would get a couple himself! So that's it. Off to get my ear moulds on the 22nd and then wait for the appliances.

Going with Picko tomorrow to the radio shack for another blast - that's his third of five and it is causing him a lot of grief at the moment.

 

Keep smiling

    Hi Drew,

    Ah the ever expanding hospital file, watching that folder grow in size strangely reminds me of the journey I've been on and am still on. Then I see people with two folders.

    Is the deafness you are suffereing an age thing, or something related to your treatment?

    My wife is always complaining that I don't listen to what she is saying and she reckons I'm going deaf. Happy that it stays that way for a while, because for me having hearing aids would take away my excuse!

    Good luck with the earpieces.

    No my deafness was caused by too many dates with Holmann Silver 80 rotary percussion rock drills. Ninety five decibels for five or six hours didn't do the little hairs in my cochlea much good.

    Picko has got some hearing aids and he reckons when he got them he couldn't believe all the things he had missed like birds singing etc.

    Regarding the wife ...... they can always be switched off. The hearing aids I mean. Not the wife! Well mine can't anyway!

     

    Keep smiling
