Two-Week Followup

Back to the doctor today for another hearing test in the non-implanted ear. No improvement from last week. Got another steroid shot. Back to the hyperbaric chamber tomorrow.

Implanted ear continues to be a hindrance to understanding people rather than a help. Today I could hear coworkers talking down the hall through the implant (though not the other ear); they sounded like Gollum from Lord of the Rings and I couldn’t understand a word. I’ll do some more audio book tonight; so far that’s the only time I can consistently pick out words with the implant.
