So, on July 4th there was an accident involving a firework where someone accidentally lit an artillery shell on the ground NOT in the tube. I was about 15ft from it when it went off and my hearing in the right ear has been affected, shifting the entire image to the left. I can still hear most everything but it seems the left ear hears much better than the right now.
So assuming the worst case scenario of this being permanent what would you do? Find a way to incorporate balance control? Change speakers so that off axis listening is better? Leave audio completely? I’m pretty upset about not having my hearing like it used to be and even more so that it wasn’t my fault. So what are my options here? Any input is appreciated.
Also, I do plan on seeing an ENT or an audiologist as soon as I can get an appointment. I thought it might have just been allergies clogging up my ear since they’ve been bad lately.
