But if you don't believe me, report to your doctor that you have lopsided hearing loss. Apparently ears, unlike eyes, grow deaf at roughly the same rate. So lopsided hearing loss will get you a quick trip to an MRI to rule out an acoustic neuroma. If you catch it early, it is generally easily treated - but the side effects of surgery can be challenging and permanent.

Fortunately, I didn't have one - but I did enough research after my doctor sent me for an MRI that I was really, really hoping that wasn't what I had.
