I had many ear infections as a child and my mom said my pediatrician, who was in another state and can't locate records, told her that I had hearing loss as a result of them. I have always talked loud, never been able to hear people well, am always asking people to repeat themselves, have learned to read peoples lips a little bit(didn't realize it till as I got older or met new people they kept asking why I always look at their mouths), and MUST use closed caption to follow most shows w/out turning it up b/c turning it up doesnt always help. SO heres the problem: When people say things I am like what? and then half of the time like 45 seconds I "hear" what they say. So I don't know if this is a neurological issue or a hearing issue. Regardless its getting worse becuase I'm having more problems hearing/understanding what people say. Plus sometimes people say things and what it sounds like to me is not even close to what they said. Anybody have any suggestions? I need help!

Hi Moren, your problems sound similar to my 16 year old daughter. She is going for a balance test next week and also having a CT scan done in the near future. The important thing is so rule out everything. I would suggest more comprehensive hearing tests done. The hearing loss my daughter Jess has are not helped with hearing aides (middle ear caused from fluid over the years). I'm waiting for a miracle or a science breakthrough because at this rate she will be deaf by the time she's 30. We changed ENT doctors a few time over the years and seem to have a good one. BUT if you're not getting results you need to find a different doctor. Good Luck.....Lorna
