Title: No noticible hearing loss?
Post by: momof2beauties on March 17, 2013, 11:19:37 am: Has anyone been diagnosed with an AN but have minimal loss of hearing (or just intermittent loss of hearing with tinnitus?)

Post by: Mickey on March 17, 2013, 02:21:03 pm: Yes I have. My hearing has a slight loss in my AN ear for many years along with tinnitus in both ears, more so in AN ear. Best wishes, Mickey W+W

I'm sure they have but I wouldn't consider a 27% loss as minimal especially if the 27% loss occurred rather quickly.

The 27% weaker ear was just referring to my dizzy sensation. They did not test my hearing (why, I don't know). They just tested me for the vertigo I've been having lately( maybe to deteime if it was positional or central?)

I suggest an Audiogram as soon as possible.

Just say "Doc, I want an Audiogram."

If your doctors aren't with it, you can get one for free at Sams Club, Costco, Sears, and most other places that sell hearing aids.

I regret my procrastination a few years ago when I was starting to miss what people were saying to me.
