Yes. It reminded me that I don’t like things in my ears. And $6,000 out of pocket has me looking at other options!

Thanks for your reply. I have total vision loss in one eye due to NAAION and am vulnerable to post operative vision loss. But hopefully my neuro opth will talk to my ent and make a decision with reasonable precautions in place!

Thanks for asking. It revealed residual fluid from the earlier ear infection but no acoustic neuroma. On to exploring a cochlear implant which is a great hearing solution but a risk of further vision loss! 🤪

In grad school I had a teacher who lectured on how important it was to access the people at the top of the decision making chain. I had been a foster parent for years before I realized I needed to be HEARD when speaking up for the needs of children, got an MSW and became a CASA. Now I am HEARD!

Yes but it is not enough. I feel like any skeets (tweets) go nowhere 🤷‍♀️ and don’t keep me connected to people!
