ok i will ask. i dont know what the test was for. he sent me to the audiologist, and gave me paperwork to get blood work done and the MRI. im not sure what they were for.
i thought it costs 5c a sheet to get your medical records. until i find work (phlebotomy) i cant afford that yet. unless thats a lie and they are breaking the rules. but i will definately ask them
my bloodpressure is always very low. sometimes even too low. im a smoker, and right after a ciggarette my blood pressure gets to normal lol but normally im around 107 over 65.
ive looked up Meniere's before, and it seems to match to me, but when i asked the doctor about it he said i dont have it. i dont know if my hearing fluctuates, i never have anything to compare it too. if it does, i cant tell off hand.
those were my fears as well.
i dont know if i will have a job soon. the problem is right now, the school i went to kicks out several hundred phlebotomy students every 6 months. and thats just ONE school. and there are at least 20 other schools for phlebs out here. i think its just too over saturated with phlebs and MA's and they are ALL looking for jobs at the same time.
i keep putting apps in though, even in other states that i could move to.
and i agree, ive thought about once i have a job i could get a credit card to get the HA (as well as get my cars AC fixed lol) i didnt know lions club did HAs! they got me my new glasses when my old ones broke! i will call them thanks. and i will have to look up what starkey is.
i agree, and i have a horrible time being able to tell whats an apropriet volume level lol. i would probably end up having it WAY too high.
it wasnt an air port, my dad is in the navy and was a mechanic on the planes. i used to like hanging out there after schools cause the guys working there would share thier candy and snacks with me while i waited to go home. i dont think there is any actual hearing problems, and my dad tells me i wasnt exposed at the hanger badly enough to cause any problems (he says he doesnt even have any hearing problems and he was there all day every day) so im not sure. and i never went to any music concerts or anything like that. but i do know my ears always hurt when the band played at school if i was too close.
they never told me anything about an ear location. ill ask. im naiive with doctors. just a 'yes sir' type additude, and all he said was verbatem 'you have some minor hearing loss, but nothing to be worried about' and i said 'okay' and he said he would follow up with me again in 6 months and walked out. ill call and see if they can move my appt up to sooner than later and get some more answers
mmm let me look up perforated ear drum and see if i feel like i have any of that kind of problem, and think about looking into ways to clean it out. i thought about rubbing alcohal, but decided against it lol.
what if during showers i just let warm/hottish water run into my ear and then back out again? would that help?
thank you again so much!
