So I had an appointment
with an audionome yesterday and had an audiogram done. My results
were sort of how I thought they would be. Almost completely deaf on
my left ear. But the strange thing though, during the test I didn't
really know if I should have pressed the button (to signal that I
hear the signals) when I felt the sound vibrations so much it tickled
like crazy, but I couldn't hear anything. Really high and loud sounds
vibrations really tickles in my left ear, especially if the sound
comes from head phones.
So I sat there and cringed in the chair a
bit, but still not pressing that button cause I couldn't hear
the sound, only feel it. Interesting, huh? You have probably
heard about deaf people that can feel the vibrations of music, and I
really understand that. Every sound has it's own vibration.
The lower sounds vibrates slower, and the higher sounds vibrates
faster. The quieter the weaker, and the louder the stronger. The
faster and stronger they are, the more it tickles. Tickling sounds,
ain't that something? And that's another reason why I really hate
high and loud noise.
Anyways, during the test,
the lowest decibel level I could hear on my left was 83. Some sounds
I couldn't hear until they were up at 110 decibel. That is loud,
really loud. Like heavy metal concert, standing close to the
speakers loud. Some sounds I couldn't hear at all (they didn't go
over 120 decibel). Oh, and my right ear is absolutely fine, by the
way. Some signals I could hear already at 0 decibel, most at 10 and
one of the lowest at 25. Everything under 25 is apparently normal.
Then I had another
appointment with an aurist today (constantly confusing the words
audionome and aurist, but the first mentioned basically just does the
tests, and the second mentioned is a doctor specialised in ears and
hearing. Just to clarify). They said that despite my almost complete
lack of hearing on my left, they won't give me any hearing
aid. The reason they said, was because my hearing is normal on my
right ear. But the aurist was gonna check with a few contacts, said
maybe he could pull some strings. So we'll see, but I’m not too
hopeful to be honest.
