@crowley53 oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I have never heard of sudden hearng loss. I bet it feels weird. I just had my hearing checked and both ears are below the normal hearing range. My doctor wants me to get hearing aids. But my insurance won't cover them. he said try them for 30 days and if I don't like them take them back. That seems weird to me if I need them why would he say that? I asked if if the loss was from the tumor and he sad "oh you have a tumor" its written all over the papers I feeled out. Righ there I lost my confidence in him. I gave him my mri cd and I don't think he could find the tumor. The way he was looking at it as to fast and jumping back and forth between images. Then he got up and said the tumor is not causing the hearing loss and walked away. Appontment over . So I'm not confident with him. He looked and acted like he was ninety. Kinda bent over and shuffeling his feet. So now I have to get another oppinion.
