RE: " I have a bilateral hearing loss at 2.5 kHz"

Hi!

Thank you for your interest and trying to help. I tried to e-mail you but the system will not allow any unsolicited per your request.

To answer your questions:

Regarding speech, no issues with conversation, the TV or noisy environments such as a restaurant.

I never use headphones. I do not own them.

Yes, I have normal hearing to 2.5kHz and then none after that frequency. I was brave enough yesterday to play one of the test CD's I have and do a pink noise sweep. I could hear 2.5kHz with my right ear but not with the left and no frequencies beyond that in either ear.

I knew about the insect sound at night for at least a year. For some time I was curious why I could not easily identify the sound of the shaker on the previously mentioned Chesky CD. I had no idea what else i may have been missing or fow how long.

I never had symptoms of shingles but I did have measels as a child.

Regarding my audiogram results. I can try scanning it tomorrow. In the meantime I can report the following:

SRT: Air:Right 10; Left 5

Recognition: Right 100 (55 with masking employed).
Left 76 (75 with masking employed).

The hearing threshold level shows a drop of approx. 25 db at 2.5kHz in the right ear and 40 for the left. This continues on a downward curve for both ears until 70 db down at 8kHz.

The audiologist marked the test reliability as good.

Please let me know if this is an adequate summation for you to draw any conclusions thereby making a scan of the audiogram redundant.

Thank you again all responding members for your, time interest and somewhat comforting reassurance.
