Alright, listen up because I can't;)

Just got back from the audiology exam.  And it wasn't real good news, however I have another appointment with the ENT Dr in about an hour to go over the results a little better and see what the next step is.  The exam showed that I have severe hearing loss in my left ear, and my right ear is a little worse than last week, however still within normal ranges.  I was able to hear at extremely loud decibels of sound, and even then it sounded like a very high pitch computer voice, even though it was a normal woman's voice at normal sound levels in my right ear.  My left ear also showed that there was reflex decay which means that the problem lies in my middle ear, around the auditory nerve area.   So far infection is ruled out, however a virus or mass is still in question.  Good news though is that I can now kinda hear my finger rustling around in my left ear when a few days ago I couldn't even hear that.  It is still extremely faint, however that sound has come back a little bit.  The audiologist told me that sometimes hearing comes back, but sometimes it doesn't, and the best thing that could have happened quickly was that I was put on prednisone, which happened on Friday only five days after I first showed any signs of hearing loss.  I will keep you all updated with what the next steps are and what the Dr says this afternoon.  But I am happy that there was some hearing left in the left ear even if it was at extreme decibels, so maybe even if I don't get all of my hearing back, it might be able to be correctible with hearing aids or such, there I go again jumping to conclusions, or maybe just preparing.  Is this called denial?
