Hi,
Thank! Hopefully, tapering off the meds will keep the hearing loss from progressing. I do everything I can to protect my ears.
Sorry, nerve deafness is happening to your father at a young age. Hopefully, you will beat the odds and not get be like him. But I definitely understand your concerns and would have the same fears.
Yeah, the high frequency noises are maddening aren't they?
Good luck!
