Huh?
Try both ears.....and a complete loss of Hi Freq range. Hearing aids will not help....major problem is all letters like b,c,d,e,g,t,v, and z sound the same. Add in a high pitched voice like the fair sex usually has...and disaster strikes. Throw in a room filled with people talking, some background music that is a bit too loud....well, I nod a lot and look like I am listening. Lip reading is getting better how ever.
Chinooks and that large forward transmission screaming in my ears for several years is what caused the damage initially. After that was all down hill.
One way to overcome the tinnitus at night.....is to run a small electric fan....that noise is just enough to blank out the ringing sound.
I too am racing retirement and deafness problems on my medical.
