No you haven't felt pain till you've been kicked in your junk

 

Types and Degrees of Hearing Loss

There are basically four degrees (countries outside of the United States may not use the same terms).

* Mild - At 26-45 db, a little difficulty hearing speech. Even a mild hearing loss can be serious for children still learning to talk.
* Moderate - At 46-65 db, more difficulty hearing speech.
* Severe - At 66-85 db, a lot of difficulty hearing speech. It is at this level that we begin to use the term "deaf."
* Profound - Anything over 85 db. With this level of hearing loss, hearing aids may or may not help; cochlear implants are often an option.


I take the cake on this.

I am over 85db and don't wear hearing aids anymore because they just don't work for me. I've been asked if I wanted to do cochlear implants. I declined to do this because it simply won't help me any better. There are cases of people with that surgery and it didn't work for them.

It depends on Yao's ear decibels to have anything to work. If he wants to leave it alone, then let him.

 

This sounds like some sort of nerve damage, in which case there's little that can be done. I've had 12 surgeries on my left ear, starting when i was one. back then they used to take a piece of vein from your wrist and use it to patch the drum- i still have a few faint scars on my wrist from those operations.

bottom line, i have something of a bionic outer and middle ear- completely rebuilt canal, new drum, and a plastic prosthesis where the hammer/anvil/stirrup were. i also have next to no hearing on that side- can't use the phone, or carry on a conversation with anyone on my left side. and loud rooms? fuggeddaboutit.

nerve's fine tho...
