Very hard to find a good audiologist! Would you mind sharing with us any good or hopeful stuff they told you? Going through a rough patch here as well.
@DimLeb Dr. Rohe in Tempe Arizona. He has a program but you don't have to do it. He is available for consults. Really helped me put into perspective what's happened w/ this spike. Lots of data about audio acoustics, hearing protection etc. Disputed some of the information you see on sites incl this one.
@DimLeb Sorry my message was too long from one post. He just presented a lot of facts and facts based off of by science and having a doctorate in Audiology. Not everything you read is always accurate. His consult was only $125. It it might be worth calling him.
