Hi!
So… since my hearing had gotten very much worse, I've called my audiologist. My last audiogram was 8 months ago. She asked me if I went to the ENT and what he had said. I responded that he told me to pass another audiogram in January, one year later.
He also said that if it had gotten worse, to call for another audiogram. On my latest one, with the audiologist, it was also written to call for another one if it was getting worse.
She said that if I needed hearing aids I should try BUT that my latest audiogram was too low and that I should wait. Even if I said I was asking people to repeat themselves, even if I ask her many time to repeat.
After that, I talked about that to my mom and she said to stop drinking milk, that was causing my tinnitus and hearing loss. She got angry when I told her that I already had reduced my milk consumption and that I really need another audiogram. She was angry and said to stop complaining and to call the ENT, that he will say the same thing she said. (She gets mad at nothing theses days… Like really… a nothing can get her angry)
I don't know what to do. I'm at my last year in 3D animation. I'll have interviews simulations with real video game studios and the portfolio party is full of people and I'll need to understand what they'll say. I can't hear sounds in my music that I was hearing before and I have to put the sound very loud so don't listen to my music often and it was a great way to escape from my problems, to distract me from my tinnitus and now...
I know there isn't many things to do except call the ENT or see another audiologist clinic (this would irritate my mom and I need to tell her because of the insurance) but it is stressing me out I don't know why.
This night I had a dream/nightmare where even if my audiogram was worse than the first, they were refused again.
