Ok first off the good news is that the 3 month scan showed no tumor! WOOHOO.... Thank goodness ( :
Next bad news, I showed the surgeon my hearing test on my "GOOD" ear and he has informed me that I have Otosclerosis disease. Also does anyone have Otosclerosis or heard of it before? Thanks, Jennifer
Hi Jennifer! I am so HAPPY your 3 month scan was clear - awesome!!

Now about the otosclerosis... I would first ask more questions about how that is determined. This was my first diagnosis before i insisted on the MRI and they found the AN. Anyway, if the diagnosis is correct, then i think too, that it could be years before you need a hearing aide. (My grandmother had to wear the big ugly thing behind her ear and a cord running to a box that she hid in her bra-but when she wore the hearing aide, she could hear, even us rowdy kids.) I often think of her and how far modern medicine has come today, with so many options. My grandmother was a teacher and an amazing person. At 80+ years, i took her on her first commercial plane ride to CA. She never left the hearing issues stop her. She is my inspiration today, as i am sure she is for my sister, aka Bigsister.
I have never heard of floride treatment for otosclerosis, but i would try it. If it even delays the hearing aide, that would be good.
Now, since the doctors believe my grandmother also had otosclerosis, i am right there with you. No indications today, but i will be mindful of this in the future.
Please keep us posted. I certainly would like to know about the treatments and if they are working.
My thoughts and prayers are with you today.
Stay strong and know we are here for you.
Sincerely,
Sue
