I have been reading some of the Newbie recent posts. I was just diagnosed on Thursday with a right sided AN, 1.5 x 1 (I am meeting with my doc today to get more specifics). Although I have been told I have some hearing loss, I do not feel it, so the treatment choice will be key. Obviously I want to keep my hearing, but more importantly, I want the safest choice for my health, even if it means losing my hearing on my right side. I am 53, and from what I am reading surgery will probably be recommended. The choice is a different story. I am from NYC and will be going to see the well known docs here, and then maybe email or send my MRI's to the House Clinic. So, if anyone has any more thoughts (I thank those who have already replied) I would appreciate them, and certainly I will continue to post on any new information I obtain on my road to deciding what treatment to select.
Thanks.
Evan
