Today I went to Kaiser to see what the hell has been causing the vertigo I have been experiencing. Mostly, I got a hearing test. Wow…. A hearing test on a deaf girl. Hmmm… can tell you where this is going already.

I walked into a small room and was equipped with a standard hearing test (plugs in both ears that are attached to a machine and then this brain bone measurer. I looked like an alien might have been probing my head.)

The nurse asked me if I had any experience with hearing loss. HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…. I work with the deaf every day. I have been losing my hearing since I was 18. I know a little about hearing loss.

So the test goes exactly as I expect t to go and the results are exactly what I know they will be: severe loss in right ear, mild loss in left ear. Go figure.

They don’t want to give me hearing aides, not yet. “Maybe in six months or so”. Grrr… CEO gave me all sorts of advice and sympathy. I don’t really want sympathy. This is nothing new. I don’t know why she is acting like it is.

Bonus point for Kaiser: doctor J called me with the results 25 minutes after the test. Wow!!
