Is no news ever good news?
I haven't heard anything about the 29th December MRI scan yet and I'm a little concerned. After all, what I saw on the scan through the door left open by the radiographer looked to me pretty unusual and consistent with something like an AVM or an acoustic neuroma. Could be wrong - hope I am since it would complicate matters and, if a large AN and surgery were the route, would probably rule out a CI and getting any hearing back.
Meanwhile on with life. I've been keeping a hearing diary, and the variability of my (subjectuvely evaluated) hearing and tinnitus looks [and felt] enormous between 21st December and 9th January. It's shown above right. The scores on the vertical scale range are set to measure the relative quality of hearing and tinnutus against the best of both since July 2007.
The best way to do this would be to have some relatively stable metric based upon a standard test (a set speech discrimination test, for example) but we didnlt have one available. As a result, this is more a record of how the hearing seemed to me over the whole period - but it does show the range of hearing and tinnitus experienced.
