- Weird Day

[Guest guest]

Hey . Yes, I had something very similar to that happen recently. It was

weird and I couldn't figure out what was going on....still haven't. For about a

week, everything suddenly changed and I was only hearing environmental sounds

and really struggling with voiceds and turning my volume up all the way at

times. I tried both my processors and some of the other equipment and

everything was the same. I called my audi and told her I needed to get in ASAP,

that something weird was going on. I couldn't see her for two weeks. I was

hearing the worst I had since before hookup. Scary. I was taking some

antibiotics for an infection and also had just started back wearing my HA, so I

took that out and still the same thing. I truly don't know which it was, but

after about a week, it all cleared up and was back to like it was before. I

have had some sinus stuff going on too, but anyway, hopefully yours will be much

better soon too. I think it's normal to have hearing changes with changes going

on in our bodies. Let us know how you are doing!

Hugs,

This morning I woke up with a cold (and a relentless headache that just

won't go away). Throughout the day I noticed that I've been having a little

more difficulty hearing with my CI. I had to turn my processor up a little

higher than usual to get extra clarity. Have any of you experienced a change

in hearing when you have a cold or allergies? I'd like to know if this a

possibility or if it's something that I am imagining.
