Title: 5 year CK anniversary
Post by: Tisha on March 16, 2014, 02:57:47 pm

Hi,

Just for an FYI, I thought I'd let everyone know I received my 5 year Post CK MRI and Audiogram.  The last was 2 years ago.  It has shrunk just a tad more from 1.5 x 1.0 x 1.0 to 1.5 x .9 x .9.  My hearing has stayed exactly the same.  Low frequencies all normal, starts the ski slop at 2000 moderate loss to 8000 mod-severe loss there.   It was better than this pre-CK, but I had SHL with swelling 6 weeks afterwards.  It came back with steroids but never quite as good in the high frequencies...but still decent.  I started wearing a HA in that ear to help my non-AN ear which is severe deaf in all frequencies (virus related).

I have the new fancy schmancy HA's that work together for speech in noise.  I hear better than normal hearing people sometimes in noise resaurants, etc.  LOL!  Anyway..hope all is well.

Hi, Tisha ~


Welcome back and congratulations on the 5-year MRI results!  I'm pleased to learn that your hearing, although compromised, is still serviceable with a hearing aid.   Thanks for the update.

Jim

Can I ask what the fancy schmancy hearing aid is?
Great to hear that your hearing is still reasonable after 5 years
