Hey everybody

My cancer was on the left side, and the referred pain before I got Flappy was just horrendous. Is it possible for referred pain to cause problems with hearing later on? I ask this because in my left ear I can hear my pulse strangely clearly but sounds around me seem muffled. My right ear is problem free. I was just wondering if this was typical.

Hello Julia

Radiotherapy could affect hearing but I don't know if you had it. You should get your hearing checked. If the ENT say the hearing is fine, it could be related to vascular flow changes related to ........ stress! So do try relaxation exercises.

Best wishes

Hi Dr Joshi

Nope, no RT for me--just surgery. I'll bring it up with my ENT when I see him in July.

Thanks!
Julia
