I try to not ask for much but I need some help.
A month or so ago my wife (33 YO) started having some hearing loss in 1 ear but never said anything about it. She finally went to the doctor and they have diagnosed her with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. I've been told it's fairly rare but the causes are either 1) that ear just quit or 2) there might be a tumor pressing on some nerves. She's had terrible ringing and headaches due to her other ear trying to compensate for the loss. The body really is amazing.
She had a follow up this morning and they scheduled a CT & MRI for this afternoon as they think it is likely a tumor. They say that this type of tumor (if present) isn't terminal or life threatening or that they could be totally wrong about this being the cause.
I'll never admit this to her but I'm freaked the freak out. Brain tumor, at her age? The possibility of brain surgery, you gotta be kidding me?
I'm not dealing well right now.
