Sucks getting Old

Really, It sucks getting old. I still think the doctor is missing something.

A year and a half ago, i was coughing after a piece of toast got caught in my throat when i inhaled at the same time as swallowing. I was coughing for some time. When it finally stopped i was ok. I<b> bend </font></b>over to tie my shoes and then my left ear started echoing. As the day went on it got worse. By the time i went to bed, I could not hear anything out of my left ear. So after a few months i blew my nose to clear the mucous. It was fairly bloody. Then I started hearling a tad bit better in the left ear. Now fast foward to a couple months ago. I no longer feel pressure in my left ear. I am or was hearing a lot better in that ear. I have had 2 recent hearing tests. And both test say that i still can not hear in my left ear. But yet i can hear the tv and the radio in my car and work truck.

So the doctor sent me into the old age category with two words. Hearing Aids. Today i am officially old. Even though my 52 birthday was last week. The doctor set up and fitted me with my new hearing aids. Supposedly these are pretty trick hearing aids. He put an app on my phone so i can change the equalizer settings and the volume and some other things. He has the left ear set as a transmitter and everything i hear on my left side is being sent to the right hearing aid so i can hear it. He only did that because of my left ear rattles like a broke speaker. So he wanted to make sure i could hear everything. He said if my hearing comes back in my left ear where it does not sound like a broken speaker. Then he can have the left hearing aid go straight to the left ear. But for now i am somewhat lopsided.

And i thought i had a problem getting dates before. These are going to really make me feel lonely!!!
