I am waiting for the result of the MRI scan that may confirm this type of neuroma. I lost my hearing in the right ear up to minus 60 dB overnight. Initial threatment with cortisone infiltrations had no effect. First I panicked seriously, now I am very anxious about it. The hearing loss and the bad quality of the sound as well as the tinnitus that comes along with it has a severe impact on my live. I wake up in the morning and immediately I feel depressed. Listening to music is very important to. My hobby is the restoration of music
equipment, like radio, tuners, amplifiers. That ship has sailed. I am 62 years old. Yesterday and today I cried because I feel completely helpless.
