hey all!
i did end up going to a new audi last week...i was a moron and forgot my audiogram, so i brought it back today for another appointment. he made the impressions and will order me new molds...but this was all after retesting my hearing again (i didn't want it, but he said it was so he could determine the best way to adjust the aids AND to determine which molds to order for me...)...
so he retested me and we determined why i have to keep turning these ones up too...
my hearing is now in the "severe" range. yup. it's gone down even more. so at the start of june i only had a mild loss and now i'm in the "severe" range with no doctor having a clue why.
he obviously strongly suggested that i return back to my ENT immediately and make sure i keep the appointment that i have in two weeks. i'm not going. there's no point. the doctor has already said that there is nothing they can do since they don't know what's causing the loss and it's crazy to get put on steroids. plus he said all that they would do for me even if they did know what was wrong would be to adjust my hearing aids so what's the point. i don't want a brainstem test (ABR) or any of that crap.
in fact i don't want my hearing tested again period. i'm tired of each time going in there and finding out that it's gone down more. screw it. i just need to deal with it.
in any case-my new molds are on order so hopefully i won't be whistling anymore soon AND he upped the volume on my aids so i can actually hear without turning up to max anymore. the guy is creepy, but waaaaayyyyy better than my other audi! just need those molds and then it's peace out audiologists!
