HAHA very funny. My 4 yr old liked it though.

Well I have the same thing as you pretty much. From what I understand, putting a hearing aid in your deaf ear won't do much. You can't hear out of that ear, so there's no use in spending the amount of money a hearing aid costs. Just put it in your normal ear, and it'll increase your hearing. So if you're going to get a hearing aid, just get one and put it in your normal ear. Although if you want further information, go to a doctor's office.\n\nMonkey- I know if you have some hearing in that ear a hearing aid will work, but if you're totally deaf in that ear (like I am) then a hearing aid won't work. I've tried it, and it didn't help. So it was just easier to have one hearing aid for the normal ear.

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

Hi there,\n\nI feel it was wrong for the doctor to assume that your otosclerosis will automatically get worse due to a pregnancy. \n\nHormone changes in pregnancy can affect otosclerosis, but only when the condition is already present. In my opinion, pregnancy may accelerate the decline, but the hearing loss is going to occur anyway.\n\nOtosclerosis is normally (but not always an inherited condition). Here is some more information:\n\nhttp://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing/otosclerosis.htm\n\nI am an audiologist, with otosclerosis throughout my family. It normally results in a severe, conductive hearing loss in both ears. However, it's normally one of the most successful types of hearing loss to treat with hearing aids.\n\nMy best advice is to discuss your situation with a different doctor, and an audiologist.

ever heard of ultra sound.  It can be used.  But the frequencies and power needed to produce results in some things would actually cause damage to surrounding tissue.

I have Meniere's disease. What you describe happens to me. Loud voices and sounds are distorted and sometimes can be like finger nails on a chalkboard. I think that this could be because...as a result of the Meniere's, I've lost my low range hearing. I especially can't understand what's being said in a noise filled room weather it be sound or voices. I have learned to compensate through lip reading. I didn't realize just how much I was doing this until I went for a hearing test. I was reading the guys lips when he told me to repeat words that he was saying. I was doing O.K. until he figured out what I was doing and covered his mouth. It was down hill from there. There are other symptoms that go along with having this disease and I hope that this is not what you have. There are web sites that you can go to that will explain all that is involved..including the hearing distortions. I hope that I've helped.

I have lived with tinnitus since my early forties, I am in my early sixties now.  I don't notice it so much during my waking hours, but when I try to sleep I hear several different pitches in my ears.  I sleep with the TV on so I don't hear the noise in my head.  The ear nose and throat doctor told me that I may start to have a hearing loss, but so far, I haven't detected a loss.  I hear ads on TV for a medication called Lipoflavanoid.  I have been leary to try it.  Wishing you well.

You don't say how old you are. If you are a veteran of the US armed forces, you may have veteran's benefits that will pay for them. Many audiologists know of the resources available to you in your area. Check with them. Some HMOs will provide them if you are elderly.

thats just something natural swim a little more since your body isn't used to the pool yet(being underwater) so just swim a little more OR it could be that your a little older now and your ears r more sensitive to chlorine?

You don't specify where you are in NY, so I can't give more specific suggestions than these.  I'm assuming you're in the city, which has a VAST amount of resources, so which boro you're in would help us help you.  Whichever Audiologist you consult should have additional resources for you.\n\nhttp://www.thecityofnewyorkcity.com/hearingaid/index.html\n\nhttp://www.lhh.org/ \nNew York League for the Hard of Hearing has Audiology and Hearing Aid services, as well as job placement.  The links page will help you find programs closer to you, including colleges and universities that may offer lower fee services.\n\nLexington School for the Deaf (my web search turned up bad links)\nLook in the phone book or call information - the school has a long history and will likely offer sign language classes, and may also have hearing tests and services.\n\nhttp://www.signlanguagecenter.com/\n\nhttp://deafness.about.com/od/travel/a/nycdeaf.htm

If you are hearing impaired, you can ask for assistance from an usher. They can usually supply you with a device to help you.

Check with you doctor there are several tests they can give you for ads (adult deafest syndrome) and Alzheimer's. It's best to get checked early because some of these can be treated and controlled.

good grief - there is a lot of 'part' knowledge here...\n\nyou need to break this down and talk about the different parts of what the original question was asking.\n\nif it was 'see', the explanation would be the same as for hearing by the way. (it would be easier to explain about seeing)\n\nhere goes...\n\ninside your ear you have these little hairs (cillia) that are a certain distance apart. when a sound wave enters the ear the wavelength of this wave will stimulate hairs at both its high energy points (its troughs or peaks, you choose, not important) your brain knows the distance of the hairs and so can interprut this wave distance between two lots of hairs being stimulated. thats how you get the frequency (number of wavelengths in a second) of sound in your ear. the volume (loudness) depends on how vigourously the hairs are moved by the sound wave. (thats why you can go deaf listening to loud music - you kill those little hairs if too loud). \n\nnotice i said sound!\n\nyour question is about electromagnetic waves. radio waves and visible light (green) waves are both of the same stuff (light energy - some we can see and some we cannot). the organ for detecting this energy is the eye. inside the eye, the retina (back of the eye) has special cells called rods and cones for detecting different wavelengths (i believe this is what your engineer was on about). each of these cells has a specific chemical for detecting a certain wavelength. lets pick on one.\n\nthe red light cone has a protein inside that has a special part that can move to a slightly higher energy form (a more awkward position for the proten so it wants to get back to where it was before - think of bending a ruler... the more you bend it, the more it wants to get back to where it was... so the higher the energy it has) when red light is shone on that protein (inside the eye) it provides enough energy to move this extra part of the protein (called an apoprotein portion is anyone wants to know) to a higher energy state and this is enough to induce (make happen) a signal being sent to the brain that says 'red light detected' and we see red light.\n\na similar thing happens to green light.\n\nin physics, when we talk of waves whether in music or lihgth or nanometers, if you have something of the same wavelength then it is detected as the same.\n\nif you have something of a different wavelngth then it is detect as different ( or in the case of the eye.. or even the ear, not detected at all, unless your are green, red or blue light)\n\nbut if you have a wavelength that is say  x2 bigger, of x3 or x6 or x2000 times bigger exactly, with no extra and no bits needed.. it has to be exact. then these also will be detected.. A BIT. we call thesse harmonics. this is a word that belongs to music.\n\never notice the way a piano has all those notes (only 8 notes and yet so many keys..?) these eight notes are repeated but in higher registers/keys, but they are still the same note.... a higher harmonic. all these wavelenths are doubled or trippled or what ever.\n\nso, because there will be a harmonic of green light in the radiowave part of the spectrum... it can theoretically be detected. so you could theoretically detect green light (with the eye) and radiowaves (theoretically with the eye)... but never with the ear :-)\n\nhappy days - now lets look at information theory! why do we always lose information and yet still maintain the integroty of the message? at what point is the message lost?

It may just be a phase he's going thru.  Just don't make a big deal out of it and maybe he will stop.  If not, then maybe his hearing is sensative.  Take him to a specialist.  Hope that helps you.

I don't know about "hearing", but when I was a little kid (approx. 5 or 6 years, if the old memory serves), some girls (around the same age as I was) I used to play with introduced me to a game called Spin the bottle.\n\nI was never the same again. LOL!

Yeah, i'm pretty sure that a big build-up of earwax makes it a little harder to hear. Long-term though it has serious side effects that can lead to permenantly damaged hearning, it clogs up the works to far down for you to clean out, not good stuff.
