I begged to differ. .... Even she had to look it up! So two, relatively young but experienced doctors hadn’t come across this thing that apparently is an emergency!"</p><p>[It is a positive that she looked it up BTW!]</p><p>I taught physical diagnosis for twenty years at a major university in the US. We older doctors often lamented that good old history and physical exam skills were being lost to the next generation.</p><p>Your history was "not normal" for a eustachian tube problem. "...over about a minute, the hearing on my right side faded until I couldn't hear anything at all." A *Red Flag* we would say. Sudden loss of any neurological function is an emergency.</p><p>There are easy bedside tests that could have been done to confirm this (see graphic). Did the young docs know them/perform them?!

Jon<p>Audiology tests today show severe hearing loss in my right ear, and moderate loss in my left ear. Right hearing is permanently damaged, but left may improve a bit.</p><p>Not really what I wanted to find out, but a helluva lot better than not knowing what's going on! I can feel my body beginning to relax just a bit. </p><p>As mentioned in earlier posts, I come from a hard of hearing family so I've been expecting this - just not overnight.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/audiology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>audiology</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HearingLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HearingLoss</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/SSHL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SSHL</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HardOfHearing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HardOfHearing</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tinnitus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tinnitus</span></a></p>
