Hearing update

It's been almost 4 months since I lost my hearing in one ear, and I can honestly say that it isn't stopping me from doing most things at all! There's the odd time that the ringing gets really loud or high-pitched, and I cant' focus, but it seems to happen less and less. Sometimes I'm even able to tune out the ringing altogether.
My hearing has gotten marginally better, too - at very low frequency, I can hear tones at lower decibels. In fact, I'm in the moderate hearing loss range at certain frequencies - so things like a Harley Davidson motor, I can hear at a farther distance now. So that's good! You never know - maybe it will continue to improve! The stranges part of my hearing test is that words, although they are loud and "clear" in my right ear, sound like complete gibberish. I cannot make out what people are saying at all, even when they're yelling into my ear. So that's kind of an odd sensation.
I finally have my MRI scheduled - it's happening next weekend, so keep your fingers crossed that either they find nothing or they find something that is super easy to fix and give my hearing back fully! I'm not going to lie, the waiting has been killing me. I have had several sleepless nights and nightmares about there actually being something wrong - but really, I'm sure there isn't. I will just be glad to get it over with. My MRI follow up is Wednesday the 25th, so stay tuned for an update after that!
