i’m 20. this is my 2nd test since october and my loss is already worse. the included has my very 1st test from nov 2024 (he accidentally wrote 10/24 instead of 11/24), then oct 2025 (10/25) and yesterday dec 2025 (12/25). did some bone conduction tests too to check. apologies if u can’t see it clearly there. i’m worried and was referred to an ent :,) just what i need! more health issues! idk what the next steps can be other than trying to find an ent. anyone gone thru this? what did u do abt it? my hearing aids are almost useless right now since its just getting worse

is the correct next step. Where I am you’d also be eligible for genetic testing if you were interested, which may or may not give you some insight.

Hopefully you have a good audiologist who you can talk to this stuff about and come up with plans/strategies for day-to-day communication obstacles. Take your loved ones with you–this is new and confusing for them too. But this is a good time to build your support network if possible.

Honestly, when hearing loss is relatively sudden and quick, seeking counseling support doesn’t hurt. Someone who does grief/loss and chronic health condition counseling.
