My brothers audiogram after being hit in the head at work

Hearing Loss
1

I’ve added my brother’s audiogram to my profile. His left ear BC is all 0dB.

He’s an emergency worker and someone hit in the head with a metal bar.

He’s currently in hospital being treated for his injuries.

He’s seen an ENT consultant who said it’s all middle ear but not much else.

He’s had a MRI but doesn’t know the results.

Is there anyway that his middle ear could be fixed? I know that can be a wide answer as you don’t know all the details.

I guess it’s a good thing his AC on his left is not 120dB No Response.

Hi Zebras sorry to hear that.
I guess the ENT consultant would be the best person to answer that. Maybe when he gets the results of the MRI there will be another appointment with the ENT consultant.
Wishing him a speedy recovery.

This is not good news; you and your brother have my sympathy! I hope that you can get the answers you need.
