Can't hear a lot of men's voices. Me being female makes it hard on relationships. My boyfriend thinks I zone him out but if I'm not paying attention I most likely won't hear him. I think my left ear is mostly deaf, my right ear can hear most higher pitched sounds but both deaf to low tones. I've had 4 seta of tubes, my most recent being 4 years ago. If I don't have tubes or steroids I've been told I'll have ear infections indefinitely... But what fixes the permanent hearing loss? Tho is my first time reaching out in hopes of someone sharing the same struggle
