:15:17
Well, you have had a significant drop in
the high-decibel range in your right ear.
:15:22
Really?
:15:24
Have you been exposed to
a loud noise recently, or had a virus?
:15:27
No, l've been perfectly healthy. You know
me. l always imagine that l have things.
:15:32
- When did you first notice this?
- About a month ago. What do l have?
:15:37
You've had some dizzy spells.
What about ringing or buzzing?
:15:41
Yes, now that you mention it,
:15:43
l have buzzing and also ringing.
Ringing and buzzing. Am l going deaf?
:15:49
- lt's just in one ear?
- Yes.
:15:51
ls it healthier to have
problems in both ears?
:15:56
l'd like to make an appointment
for you at the hospital.
:15:59
- l'd like to have them run some tests.
- The hospital? What kind of tests?
:16:03
Now, don't get alarmed.
:16:05
These are more sophisticated audiometry
tests than l can run here. lt's nothing.
:16:10
Then why do l have to go
into the hospital at all?
:16:12
l hear fine. So l'm a little weak on the
high decibels. l won't go to the opera.
:16:17
There's no reason for panic.
l just wanna rule out some things.
:16:20
- Like what?
- lt's nothing. Will you trust me?
:16:25
Hello, Dr Wilkes? This is Mickey Sachs.
l wanna ask you a question.
:16:30
- Sure, Mickey. What's up?
- lf you have a hearing loss in one ear,
:16:34
and it's not from a virus or a loud noise
or anything, what are the possibilities?
:16:40
Anything. Often it's hereditary.
Flu. Even a small noise'll do it.
:16:46
Right, but nothing worse?
:16:49
Well, yes, l guess the dark side
of the spectrum is a brain tumour.
:16:55
Really?
:16:57
- OK, so here's the new pages.
- Did Cards get these?
