[Sasi] my doctor visit

[Theresa Winebrenner]

Hello Gals and Guys,
Gee, Its good to be back with you good people. Due to my ear specialist doctor here in Austin not taking Medicare anymore, I was forced to see a doctor in San Antonio. Dr. Perry I understood was the top in his field of the treatment of Meniere's Disease, so I started seeing him. I found it extremely difficult to communicate with this man. He contradicted everything I told him, one being that I was loosing my hearing in my left ear. I am now seeing another doctor in his office who I feel I am communicating better with. Although my visit with Dr. King was not a positive one, it was nice to have someone confirm that I am not going crazy and I have indeed had loss a large amount of hearing in my left ear. On the down side, I now only hear noises in my left ear. Dr. King said that although I no longer can understand spoken words or can identify noises, I still have too much hearing for a CI. Because I am totally blind, isn't there a chance I could qualify for a CI at this point? Does anyone here know?
