C&P? Case file? You mean the results from my entry hearing test and last test where hearing loss was reported? The nearest office is in Roanoke, according to mapquest is 97.98 miles one way. That's just too far to travel, I can barely afford to commute to school and work.
I kind of quit the reserves due to medical issues not being cared for and a plethora of reasons I'm not going to delve into. So I seriously don't think they will see me. I haven't even recieved my discharge yet, but it's likely going to be other than honourble.
Will my hearing get progressively worse if I don't get hearing aids? I took note of the radio volume on my way home from work and saw the car's volume had exceeded 75% of the radio's total volume, meaning 25% higher and the radio would have been maxed out. That is the only way for me to clearly hear my music. It feels like my ears have popped from elevation, but won't unpop. It's hard to explain every detail, but you get the picture. Every day is the same, people say something to me, I don't hear them and they get mad because I didn't hear them attempting to get my attention.
As a kid, I never thought I would ever have hearing problems, until a few years ago, the thought never really crossed my mind. It's a scary thought to realise you are losing one of your senses and as a music lover, this is bad news indeed.
