I appreciate your kind words, 1Bluejay. It’s been a challenging time but I’m on the upswing, thanks to good medical and other support. It also doesn’t hurt that I’m an incurable optimist by nature!
I believe the MRI would have shown evidence of a stroke. The only thing the ENT mentioned looking for was the acoustic neuroma. And happily, today he confirmed that the MRI was indeed all clear.
I’m meeting with my hearing aid specialist later this month and will definitely ask her about the Rogers device. Combined with the Phonak bi cros system, this sounds like something that would pretty much resolve the issues I’m finding the most difficult to deal with.
Thank you again for your thoughts and good wishes.
