AH,

My ENT specialist says the hearing loss is permanent but I have heard cases from people whose hearing came back after 1-2 years. I am hoping my hearing will come back, but that's all I can do about it since it is just a matter of waiting (no meds, no surgery, no nothing).

It's not new that my W is walking the dog, though she seems to be doing it more frequently since our dog had surgery for a cancer tumor. "Remember about the reconnection process--the pets are first, "they" say!" I hope "they" are right in this instance.

Thanks for the welcome back.

Alex
