Hi Everyone, I'm Sorry I wasn't on sooner, just kind of Bummed and Hurting Today. My Dr. was Great, in short, My Outer Ear Canals are Very Very Narrowed, and I have Infections in My Ears that if not Treated, could become a Very Serious Problem. I had Wicks put as far into My Ears as Possible, for Medication to get in, and the Right One already Fell Out. I have to Return to the Hospital every Week for 8 Weeks, and if they can't get My Ear Canals to Open, they will have to Operate, to Open the Canals, and rid the Infections. The Good News is I should regain Most of My Hearing, but it's going to be a while before I do. And after the Surgery, there is no Guarantee that the Canals will stay Open. When it Rains it Pours I Guess, I'm Very Tired and down, but at least it not as bad as I thought. You See, My Grandfather (My Mothers Father) Died of Cancer of the Ear, Thank God that's not My fate. I've got to go, Thanks So Much for Your Kind Words, and I'll Talk with You All Soon!!!

Still....while your news is not great or does it sound like you have had any fun today, I am sooooo relieved. My thoughts have been centered on you since you first posted this issue. I am so thankful that while it is not going to be a relaxing time, life is still good with your health. I didn't realize you were having trouble hearing, or I have forgotten that piece of informatioin. Thank you for posting, I am sure that you are exhausted...get some rest.... love Red

Thank you for posting and sharing with us about your visit with the doctor.
I have spent much time at the ear specialist and found my hearing loss is due to part genetics and part due to medications I received as a young child.
The hearing aids I wear that allow me to communicate cost $9,000.00 and are not covered by health insurance, without them I would not be able to communicate with my family or friends.

OMG Still, I know it is rotten to have anything wrong with your ears, but I am so relieved to hear this is something treatable. i was scared to death it was gonna be something like Meniers disease. I know you are tired and hurtin, please rest up and come back when you can.
May good health be yours as much and as soon as possible my friend.

Hi Still,
Thanks so much for the update! Although your news isn't great...at least it's not horrible or devestating, and it's treatable.
Doesn't it make ya wonder how something wrong with your ears, can cause such a pain in the butt??
Our Prayers are working! We will continue to pray for you! take care, Lilly
