Those who know me know it's been a strange two weeks....well it's just got stranger and would love some input!
I've also been confirmed with SSD...today I was at the ENT and he again confirmed my SSD.
Would love to hear what others think about this (heck maybe I'm just chocolate, soda and pasta deprived!)
I was rolling over in bed and got a searing ear pain. Not unusual as I've had some before but only lasting a few seconds. This one lasted a few minutes. I was laying on my "good ear" and typically when I do I can't hear house noises. Well...I heard the a/c running. I got excited and grabbed the phone and can faintly hear the dial tone, when I rub my ear lobe I can hear sound which I couldn't before. Has anyone had anything like this happen? I'll be curious to hear what the ENT has to say in the am. I don't think he'd appreciate a call right now (it's 2am here ;D ) Hoping when I wake up I'll still be able to hear and this is not just a bad dream!!! :o

This is most people dreaming here when the hearing is gone whatever way.
Good luck to keep the hearing on and on...

Batty,
I sooooo hope that your SSD is going away! Please let us know what the ENT says, I am sure you will. I really really hope this is a good sign and more hearing is to come! Happy Day!
Good Luck!

Batty-
My wife swears she has some hearing left in her rt ear although we have not visited an ENT for a formal test. They told us her hearing nerve was actually intact after the surgery is over (rare as I understand it).
Great to hear about you and I hope we discover something similar.

...and you didn't call me to see if it was legit (at that time) or not? Heck, you KNOW the decacrud is keeping me awake at night! Ok, call me at 2am and I'll confirm for you that you are RIGHT and your ENT is wrong!
(huggles darlin'... YAY!) :-* :-* :-*

Phyl I contemplated calling you but it was midnight here so I called matti knowing she was 3 hours behind me lol She probably thinks I'm a crazy loon lol
I had to drop my ct scans off at the ENT's today and unf. he was in surgery so the girls are leaving him a note about my hearing returning. Of course they're looking at me like I'm a fruitcake too lol
My hearing nerve was intact after surgery I had lost about 50% of it before surgery..could not hear a dial tone on the phone or my son talking next to me. I can hear the dial tone and mom's answering machine with the tv off, headset on and volume all the way up. I'm sure the ENT will want me to go for a new audiogram to see what's going on. I just had one done last month (or the end of feb I can't remember) it was my post surgical one which showed no hearing at all in my left ear. They thought I was going deaf in my right due to tinnitus starting up.
Hoping it's the start of the facial numbness going away!

Matti does not think you are crazy. I was thrilled ;D to hear the wonderful news. We want more of that!!!ÂÂ
-
How Cool Batty! Can you hear your finger in your ear when you stick it in there? That is the weirdest thing for me, not hearing that.

Yeah I kept rubbing my ear last night telling Matti I can hear it and I'm probably going to rub a blister on my ear LOl

That's fantastic news. So happy for you. That must be so exciting. Hope it gets better and better.

How strange but wonderful. I thought i'd never read a thread like this one. Maybe there will be chances for some more of us. This is great news. Good for you girl!

Your Royal Battyness- ;D
How's the facial numbness? It took about a year to get the feeling back on the side of my head where my incision was. Nerves take a long time to recover! Even if you have a little hearing on that side, does that mean a hearing aid will work for you? Woudln't that be great to hear in stereo again? Whoopeee!!

still have facial numbness and the top of my head is still real senstive...one year mark in august so maybe by then? Still haven't heard from the ENT I'm sure he thinks I'm wacked lol I know he's in surgery today and was yesterday too....so I'll call the audiologist myself tomorrow to see what they say.

Alien implant, no doubt!! ;)

Hi batty princess,
I'm delighted to hear that you can hear that dial tone again. :)
I, too, can now hear a faint dial tone on my An side (i had fsr for treatment)and now one of the things i do every day is check if I can still hear it. (I can).I told my ENT also. I think we're both waiting to see if it stays lol....I've also noticed that sometimes i can hear the a/c even when i am lying on my good ear and the tv and the stereo volume is also now turned down much lower. One evening i was euphoric when i realized that i could hear the music even tho it was turned really low and i was having a conversation on the phone with the receiver plastered to my good ear so i could hear the conversation lol. I figure i was hearing the music through my "bad" ear.
I'm thinking some of my hearing has come back.
Thanks for sharing your good news. :)
-
Wind the a/c was the first thing I noticed I could hear while laying on my good ear :o) so far I can still hear a faint phone dial tone.
No return call from ent today phyl :o( Sinuses are really acting up too...Don't think I kept enough of the antibiotic in to do any good so broke down and got sinus thingy to see if I could get some relief. I'm so so so so so sick of doctors! And to think I wanted to marry one one day LOL
