Sorry to hear about the bad news. I haven't had a class 1 yet but going to do one soon. If you haven't seen my other post, I have a little itchy ear problem thing.... =( my right ear gets itchy inside when I listen to things for a minute and then it works fine. Hopefully I'll be alright and hopefully you'll get over this and then get your class 1! We must not lose hope... :-) cheer up...
