August 2011 Spanish Doctors Week Two.



Saw ENT specialist Dr Tomas Barbaran at Clinica Juaneda, Palma de Mallorca. Syringed ears then performed auditory tests, which showed zero response from middle and inner ears.     Admitted to the clinic immediately and treated with Acyclovir, oral steroids and Augementin over the next five days.   Blood tests, MRI and Lumbar puncture results all normal (these ruled out the nasties like tumor, meningitis etc). 

Feelings.
There is some chance I will hear again. Worst case Cochlear implants.   Balance and long-sighted vision is shot but feel this will come back.   Kids are un-phased – this is a big relief.  Sign language is more manageable with friends and family than expected.
