Title: 56 % WRS and mod to mod severe loss...is it worth saving whats left?
Post by: stephSF on November 22, 2011, 05:24:39 pm

Hi.  I am still reading posts.  My last audiogram showed 56% word recognition with mod to severe and various other numbers I am still trying to desipher.  If I had to choose between my facial nerve and hearing nerve, well, I really want to look good!  My hearing started going back in 1994!  This year, I had a sudden plugged and full feeling with the tinnitus very disruptive.  Just wondering if anyone had a similar audiogram, my AN is 1.6 cm....I am waiting to see the folks at HEI.  I am asking a million questions, praying, and obsessively reading the posts here.  Thanks for any thoughts or experiences.

House will let you know if you have hearing worth saving or not. I had a hearing test at House the day prior to having surgery with them. They will decide which approach to use based on whether or not you have salvagable hearing and where the tumor exactly is. You are going to be ok. I know how scared you are right now. They are the best!
