@Dmitriy Your hearing looks good! I'm not sure how to read the last one. Your hearing tests look much more in depth than the one I received. I think the audiologist will run a more extensive test.

@Dmitriy Im sorry that your are still dealing with your T. Hopefully you will start seeing improvements soon! I would be interested in seeing the graph results. I see that your T was the result of gunshot exposure. If I may ask...what kind of gun were you shooting and were you wearing...
