Thinking about hubby and if I should call the doctor or try to clear something up on my own first.
He complained of massive ringing in his ear today and then dizzy spells. It just started yesterday after he tried to clean his ears with Q-Tips. I have told him over and over not to use them. Well, he mentioned it to the cardiologist this morning and he looked and sad hubby's ears were really full of wax and that could be the problem, but that the dizziness does not look like it's from his heart issues. So, should I try to clean them out with the peroxide/alcohol treatment I always use, and see if that works, or call the primary care doctor. Seems hubby and son inherited a problem FIL had. Massive wax build up in the ears.
You should have a doctor take care of it in case it is related to his heart.
It seems more likely than just wax.
Well - the cardiologist was not concerned. He thought it was wax and said to go with that.
Thinking how "lonely" it is being the only one in the office who knows how to do what I do (programming in VB). Advantage is job security. Disadvantage is there's no one to ask for help when I'm stuck with a problem.
Thinking about a conversation at the chiropractor's yesterday. Been going there many years. They know I have hearing aids. That telephones are not my friend, that I use captioning when I call them, etc. Yesterday someone asked why don't I just get a CI and wouldn't that replace all my hearing and solve all my hearing problems?! :-o GULP! After all these years of my explaining my aids do not replace my hearing. Having them repeat things. Etc. I told them there is no Star Trek. All the technology can help, but never ever does it give full hearing like they have, like I had years ago. No matter how many news article there are out there, the general public just doesn't "get it." Sometimes it just gets exhausting...
