I will see Dr Neff and Dr Von Gompel. I have had hearing loss on my right ( AN side) for many years, just thought it was age or too much loud music. 🙂 Now I know it may have been AN all along. Like so many, I had influenza this January. After recovery, I started having headaches and vertigo issues. Figuring after effects of influenza, like head cold or sinus infection, I didn't think much of it. Also had some dental work done. When those symptoms became more frequent and intense, I checked with my GP, and on my second visit she ordered an MRI, and there it was. Right now, the headaches and vertigo are annoying, but they are not going to stop me from doing anything. My AN is still relatively small, and I am 60 years old, so hoping surgery is down the road if needed at all. Time will tell. Like most, my biggest fear is the possibility of facial paralysis if surgery is needed. Has anyone in the group dealt with that?
