Hi, I wish I could say I was happy to be here but under the circumstances that is not the case. I had an MRI in July and was told I had a 1.2 cm AN in my left ear.  I have an appointment Sept 10 to see Dr Pensak. Does anybody have any input on him? I would like to get a second opinion also. Does anyone have a suggestion that would be close to Cincinnati?
Thanks
AN 1.2cm in left ear
slight hearing loss, ringing in ear, fullness
diagnosed 7/19/13
Surgery date scheduled 11/14/13 with Dr Goddard and Dr Schwartz
