Consults at House
« on: January 03, 2009, 11:02:08 pm »
Hi,

I have read many things about the House Clinic in CA...I heard they do free consulatations if you send MRI Films....does anyone know who I would contact over there to get that opinion?

I could not afford to go there but would be interested in getting their opinion.

Thanks for the help

Hi, Dawn,

Go to the House website and you'll find out the information you need. You can send either the film or a CD, along with your audiology report. A doctor should contact you by phone within a day or so. I had my surgery done at House almost a year ago and cannot say enough good things about the entire experience -- an amazing place with outstanding medical personnel. This is not to say that there are not other great treatment centers for ANs throughout the country -- the main consideration is to feel confident about your final decision.

Here is a link to the page for acoustic neuroma consulations:

8 mm left AN June 2007,  CK at Stanford Sept 2007.
Hearing lasted a while, but left side is deaf now.
Right side is weak too. Life is quiet.
