alexander72 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 Its most likely a tumour tricky - benign thank god Quote
Jonk179 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 If you got to have any sense go a bit dodgy then hearing is the least bad. I've got my annual hearing test next week, last year they said at danger level. Whilst in garden a few weeks ago wife asked what had I done to my thigh? I answered why the heck would I want a pie! Nowt down for getting old as we say up ere! Quote
Lawrie Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Oh dear. But as a crossflow has the exhaust on the left, it must be down to natural causes/old age Quote

Yanto Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) My heartfelt commiserations, I've had to wear them since my early 40's, I'm 51 now, I'm classed as profoundly deaf, i.e. even with amplification I don't hear very well. The only good thing about them is you can turn the nagging off when at home! You'll have to get used to people looking at the aids rather than you when talking to you, then treating you as if your IQ is somewhat diminished, very diminished! Keep wearing the ear plugs though, try and preserve what you have left. ETA. I must say that when I was first diagnosed the treatment I got on the NHS was 1st class, I had a full brain scan (yes they found one, but it didn't take long) within 3 days, oh and they didn't find a tumour.

Dibby Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 DOES THAT MEAN WE ALL HAVE TO WRITE IN LOUD FONT NOW? The only good thing about them is you can turn the nagging off when at home! Every cloud ... 3 Quote
Rory's Dad Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 The only good thing about them is you can turn the nagging off when at home! I had a great aunt who was quite religious. Nevertheless her hand use to creep onto the amplifier and switch it off when it came round to the time for the sermon Quote
alexander72 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 heheheh cheers Yanto, AND DIBBY :-) its all good Quote
FILFAN Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 bet you wish that exhaust was repacked earlier now Quote
ralphy Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 If you got to have any sense go a bit dodgy then hearing is the least bad. I wouldn’t disagree with that, but I can say that loss of smell & taste is more debilitating than you might imagine. I lost mine about 20 years ago and discovered that they play a far greater role in day-to-day life than I’d ever have thought. R Quote
