went to an ear nose and throat specialist for my losing my hearing and he sent me to a dentist. This ENT doctor should know that Psoriatic arthritis can cause hearing loss. The dentist cannot help me so he says. I have said before and now again; What is wrong with the education of doctors when a layperson such as I knows more than the doctors. I know that I am not a doctor and do not have their schooling and am not smarter then they are. Do they have overload? They need to apply themselves. Perhaps when a patient such as I at 82 years of age presents themselves do they assume "Why bother she will be dead soon?" So what! I will treat myself to a good meal, watch a great movie on the boob tube and continue to spoil myself until the deafness continues and oh, I forgot I cannot read the lines on the screen because of the low vision. I will feel sorry for myself but when all comes to a head do not worry for me as I will be strong and continue to help others as this is the way I go. With love again, Peach

Sorry you going through this- it gets harder because drs today are not how to be humane. Take care and keep the humor - it’s what helps life be okay

@peach414144 WHAT???? An EN&T doctor sent you to a dentist? I have never heard of this, what does a dentist have to do with hearing loss?
Keep spoiling yourself. I am in my 70s but have to come to realize that if I don't, no one will.
