ajvaA presumed mixup with the mail meant that the first letter disappeared into thin air and so the first I knew about it was Saturday, but having called up the hospital this morning to confirm it seems that I will be going in tomorrow and having my third ear operation on Wednesday.
I am somewhat apprehensive as I have no idea if I will be able to hear anything when I come out; this operation is number three in a series of four, and the first one to be done on my good ear. I am going to request a hearing aid for the other ear, although it's not something I've mentioned before so I have slight concerns about their ability to accommodate the request before I leave. On the other hand, it's the Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear hospital we're talking about, so one would assume they will have such things in storage.
I am likely to be out of touch for at least a week, so I just thought I'd say I hope you're all well and I'll see you later.

Date: 2004-04-27 11:56 am (UTC)If I recall correctly they /can/ make temporary moulds for your ears as I know someone who got some when they stayed with my mum last year. He didn't even have to be registered with that audiology, they just took his details and stuff and made him some temp moulds.... He did however already have hearing aids and broken moulds which they might have used......
Other than that could see if they have any alice band bone conducting aids kicking about - often they don't, but it is worth a
blagtry. I wish you the best with poiking audiology and also all the best for being in hospital with duff hearing, been there done that.Might be worth getting a sign made, 'I can't hear well please get my attention before speaking to me' as I know I often didn't know people were talking to me.
