Hearing Information

Concern asked:


My four year old son was recently diagnosed with a profound sensorineural hearing loss in one ear. The other ear had slight hearing loss but return a flat line. They told me he was not a candidate for cochlear implant or hearing device for the profound ear.

Does anyone have suggestion or an experience otherwise?

Thanks,

It was suggested I had GCA and PMR, however my age 53yr is not within the guidelines. Therefore all my aches and pains and extreme tiredness as well as the symptoms named above have been moved to Fibromyalgia. Does anyone with this condition also have head and eye problems, as Im not too sure the suggestion to radically reduce my steroids is my safest option.
