vickyx Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 hi my boyfriend has problems with hes hearing and thinks he might lose hes job, he works at sea and needs to take orders and he misses what they say. he spoke to his friend whoa a nurse who says it sounds like he has a damaged nerve, i was wondering what are the symptons for this any help would be great thanks xx Link to comment
RayKay Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 He should probably go to a hearing specialist as they can tell him what is actually wrong or point him in the right direction. It may be more than nerve, could be something minor or larger (but in most cases can be corrected/aided. Link to comment
vickyx Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 he is in april, but hes worring about hes job i just want to put hes mind at rest Link to comment
RayKay Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/Mosby_factsheets/Hearing_Loss.html Link for you about types of hearing loss, might help narrow it down. Link to comment
tanned_production Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 None (or very few) of us are doctors... a doctor can tell him exactly what is wrong, the symptoms etc. Hopefully everything works out!! tanned_production Link to comment
slw1 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I cant give advice he needs a hearing test. I am deaf in one ear due to neerve damage and there is nothing that can be done in my case. Link to comment
sisterlynch Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Was he born this way, or did it happen little by little over the years? Did he damage his hearing some how? Link to comment
DN Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 unless his employers can prove that his hearing problems are a danger to himself and others on a permanent basis it is unlikely he could lose his job. They have to wait until the results of tests and if a hearing aid will solve the problem Link to comment
vickyx Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 he has had it all hes life but its only showing to be a problem now, hes in the rfa (royal fleet aux) and he has to be in good health, if he dosnt hear the orders correct then he might do things wrong and put people in danger or just mess things up with the ship so it is pretty important that he has good hearing. but thanks for your help Link to comment
slw1 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Sorry to say this;but he might have a problem. I was excluded from becoming a fireman or police officer because of my hearing. Link to comment
DN Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 hmm, I guess if he steers the ship it could be a problem. Does he work with noisy machinery - is that maybe the cause? Link to comment
