Unhappy Poor little guy...

My nephew is 10.

His ear has been hurting him for a few weeks, but nobody really thought anything of it since its that time of season. He kept taking the normal cold / flu / sinus medicines that everybody takes.

Today he went to the Doctor. The referred him to a specialist.

After visiting the specialist, they think that his inner ear got a viral infection. He currently says that he cannot hear anything out of the ear. I don't know if it's 100% but it sounds close to it.

They are not sure if the damage can be reversed.

He's only 10.

Merry Christmas JT.

*sigh*

Real sorry to hear this. I hate to see young kids have to put up with a disability. I hope the damage is not permanent. Best of luck to your nephew!

Technology can *most likely* fix this little fellow if Mother Nature doesn't. Don't get too down yet.

Though it'll certainly tear the heart out of a stone statue to see a little person suffering, not much can be done about that (unless you drink a lot).

My very best wishes to the tyke, and his clan.

Sincerely.

Question: Why did this get moved from the General group to here?

Sorry to hear.... but at that early age and modern medicine/technology I'm sure there is a good chance of restoring his hearing...
