thank you very much for keeping me grounded ...it is possible the hearing loss might be from the infection/fluid as u said ...i'm waiting for something to come in the mail, that might help with the infection/fluid, and i hope that my hearing gets better... whatever happens, i'll post so that anyone else who experiences the same might have some guidance...
dquixote1217, you've personally helped me a number of times - thank you for being a caring person who gives of yourself and brings light to others...
