Super “8�
Well you did have nerve damage alright – that would be the “acoustic nerve�.
Did your ENT ever have an audiologist do a hearing test on you?
Did you have poor scores on the higher frequencies?
What was the time frequency of the 3 times you went in to the ENT?
I was amazed, as were there neurotologists I consulted, that mine grew to 4cm before I finally got diagnoses (I started seriously seeking kelp for vertigo and tinnitus in 2002 but have been complaining about the tinnitus for years…)
I think many of us were blown away that yours was not diagnosed until 8cm.

Either you are just one tough cookie who keeps ploughing through Texas snow storms without feeling pain and not in tune with your body … or you had one inept ENT. Are you one of those tough guys who simply won’t complain when you feel sick and just toughs it out … the ole “rough and tumble� attitude

or did you seek help along the 8cm path and were ignored and not taken seriously

Regardless of your answers to these questions… Know that you are
still my super hero.
