Vision & hearing

Today I had two appointments one for my hearing and another for my vision. Now, I've been having my hearing tasted over the past few months due to loss from being on an antibiotic for the infection. However it can lead to hearing loss so I stopped it three weeks ago bc of this. My hearing dropped again since my last hearing test, which was two weeks ago. It always makes me chuckle when I get the test done because it reminds me of being in elementary school when yiu got tested at school...raise the hand you hear the beep in, press the button any time you hear a sound ect... Today I was told that I've had so much loss I would benefit from hearing aides, which is sad but true. I have such a hard time lately hearing things in a crowded room, when tv is  on and you try to talk to me, ect... It's frustrating and no fun. I'll go back in a month to do another hearing test and if there is no change in hearing then I'll move into the process of getting them. My second appointment was for my vision. The past few weeks I've noticed that my double vision was coming back, things have been getting blurry and I can't read certain things. So I saw Dr Guay who is my opthamologist- only she is a pediatric opthamologist who specializes in prisms. Because she is pediatric there are all these items on the counter to help her out. 

She stuck a sticker on her nose out of habit and had me look at the birdie on it. then realized what she did and apologized bc it was out of habit that she did that. I said no big deal at all. She also put the lady bug on her shoulder to get me to look at her left and right ear... It was entertaining. Anywho, my newer glasses do not have biofocals or any prisms in it,   (Prisms help with double Vision) so we tested to see if I needed them again. She also tested my vision and eye pressure. Well turns out I need new prescriptions and prisms back. She also wants me to see the retina specialist bc she things the cyst/mole in my right eye may have grown and because I have diabetes need to check things out so I'll do that within the next week or two . Dr Guay cut and stickable prism on my glasses to see how that helps and I'll see her again December 8. It's crazy! I'm frustrated and hope we can get these issues fixed as soon as possible bc it's sort of important to see and hear.
