Hi kh0305 – thank you for the feedback which is very much appreciated. Its interesting to note that your father’s issues are the opposite to mine – no hearing problems when on thalidomide and I cannot turn the TV up loud enough! There are very long delays for EAR/ENT appointments – greater than 20 weeks so looking to go private to see if the cause can be identified. Please pass on my best wishes to your father. Thanks again.
