Did you know that when you lose hearing (temporarily) in one of your ears that the other ear becomes the Arnold Schwarzenegger of ears?
I'll be headed to the doctor in a little while to hopefully get my hearing back, and we won't discuss the reason for the hearing loss because ear stuff is just gross to talk about.
But seriously, I am hearing ambient noises I never noticed before. I can hear the rythym of the clothes dryer on the other side of the house. And these phantom dings or beeps that make me think I'm getting texts. And the TV seems louder than normal, although harder to understand.
It seems a little coincidental to me that the first week I start working with my ESL student, a young woman from Venezuela who has a hearing impairment in one ear, that I would experience nearly total hearing loss on one side. Hmmmm...
But tomorrow I'll be on a plane to Houston (Naomi's baby shower!) and really need everything with my defective ear to be resolved before reaching 30,000 feet. Ouch.
