Great! Just found out that my insurance doesn't cover any ear docs in the area..... Which just means more waiting and who knows how much traveling to be able to see a doc to find out exactly what is wrong.

Oh my! I am so sorry that I have to hear this, but yeah that stuff happens and you're not alone. I wonder if my insurance cover the ear doctors, but I am not sure if it does or not. We all have to wait for something, but sometimes we lose our patience. I hope things get better soon. Still in your thoughts and prayers.

Since at the hearing test they said part was that I had an infection in one of my ears. I'm going to go to the ER tonight to try and get some meds. That way whenever I do get to see the ear dr. they wont have to deal with an infection as well.

Chances are good they'll prescribe amoxocillin for your infection. (I know they can be downright painful!). But with any luck that might mean your hearing loss is not as severe.

Well like the lady said part of it was permeate and part had to deal with the infection, but she was not sure how much of which. So I'm thinking if we get the infection out of the way at least they will be able to see what is really going on in there.
