Gary, I can understand that. I come from a loud family but now when my son and grandchildred talk to me their voices are so loud that it hurts my ears and I'd like to to ask them to talk a little more quietly but it might hurt their feelings but the tone of their voices does hurt because it sounds louder that normal just for the past week. They didn't do a baseline test on me, but then again I am in a small town.

I talked to the on call ENT last night and she told me to call in on Monday and see my Dr. as soon as possible. Angel
