Middle Fossa and Hearing Preservation???

[DR]

I had my surgery last Wednesday and my hearing was preserved.  It has decreased about 6 db overall, but that could be temporary due to swelling and fluid.

Hi!

I had Middle Fossa in April '05 at House. I had no hearing loss prior to surgery and only about 10% loss after. There are some things in certain frequencies that I can't hear out of my left (AN side) ear though. Like the tick-tock of a clock or the sound of rain or water running. After the initial shock of not being able to hear at that frequency, it's not bad at all.

DR -

What great news!!!  I hope your recovery continues to go smoothly and quickly.  Keep us posted on how you are doiing.

Kristin -- I'm so happy for you too.  Retaining hearing is what most of us hope for, along with no facial nerve problems.  Sounds like you're doing great too.

Best wishes,
Wendy
