Tonsillitis/hearing issue
I went for my annual cc medical and wasn't feeling brilliant on the day. I'd had a fever, slight nausea and dizziness. The doctor appeared to be indifferent to this but after testing my hearing, he pronouncedme partially deaf and failed my medical! Later the same evening, I ended up with an extremely sore throat - almost unable to swallow and made an appointment with an out of hours doctor. I have been diagnosed with bacterial tonsillitis and put on a 10 day course of antibiotics.
I've never had an issue with my hearing before and would have thought at 27, my family and friends would have commented if they had noticed anything. Is it possible the positive test was as a result of the infection? Can tonsillitis affect your hearing? I've got another appointment ntment with a specialist next week to check but I'm gutted that this diagnosis will effect my career.
