After my ENT surgery it seems there’s very little difference to my hearing, I’ve been reading up on conductive hearing loss and it seems that I may well have damaged the ossicles, the bones that transfer vibrations from the eardrum (tympanic membrane<\/em>) to the oval window of the inner ear. The ossicles can be artificially replaced in the case of damage as a result of serious infection or head injury, I believe the stress I placed on them when I frustratedly pumped my hand against my ear because of an irritation, was enough to cause the kind of damage that would be associated with a head injury. But hey, I’m no Ear Doctor. With a follow up appointment in 5 weeks time it is possible I will be booked in for an MRI scan<\/a> I guess to have a detailed look for damage to these parts of my ear, although it will be quite interesting I will be on yet another waiting list! When I first went deaf last June I booked an appointment with my GP who referred me to ENT, I was given a choice of available appointments in different hospitals across the area, as I assumed it would be a straight forward procedure to drain fluid from the middle ear, I chose the earliest available appointment which happened to be in Uckfield about 30 minutes drive away. However since the emerging complexity of my problem I have been tranferred to Mount Ephraim in Tunbridge Wells (50 minutes drive) as Uckfield are under the Maidstone and District NHS. After various tests and consultations, in hindsight, I wish I had just waited another 2 weeks for a local appointment, such is the Life of Lemmy!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
