I recently had surgery on my skull and my left ear. I knew there was a problem because my left ear could only consistently hear “beeeeeeep” and it never stopped. I paid $160 for Apple AirPods Pro 3 because I thought I would be able to hear that. I was wrong. If I put left ear in my left ear I could only hear right. If I put right in my left and left in my right, I could only hear left. Basically my left ear was dead and we didn’t know why.
I saw an ear doctor. He looked and said I need to come back in two days. So I left and went back. He looked even better and said “The three parts of your ear that reach in to touch your brain are no longer touching. I can fix them, but you will have surgery that is very dangerous.” I told him I’m ready. I’m sick of being dead and only hearing “beeeeeeeeep”. I set me up for Friday that week.
I had ear and brain surgery. When he cut my ear and my skull open, he had a brain surgeon setup with him. Turns out when I fell and basically ruined my ear, I also crushed that side of my skull and it would not let my brain fix back to normal. So they fixed my ear using some stuff I can’t remember, but….
IT WORKED!!! My right ear has a value of 100% hearing so it wasn’t hurt. My left deaf now does “beeeeeeep” never and had a rating at 74%. They expect that to get higher but not 100%.
Odd part is this was caused by something I did at work almost 20 years ago. And I should have known something was wrong because my left ear stopped making that nasty fluid that every ear makes and let’s leave. I’m not at home yet but I told my wife to bring me my Switch so I can play that.
Been a fun one guys. Sorry if this doesn’t go here. I’m on pain medication and not always straight, so please put it where it is supposed to go mods. Thank you!
