Covergence and Hearing

What do the two have in common?  With me nothing, but today I received news about these two functions.  I have been doing therapy at "My Fast Brain Clinic" along with Physical therapy and today they tested my convergence and I'm able to do it! This is very exciting my midbrain is starting to make all of the connections again!  I still have areas to work on, but I can tell you my convergence is just as good if not better than everyone else's.

Ear news:  My doctor had me see an eye, ear, nose, and throat doctor last week to have my hearing checked.  Evidently midbrain contols hearing as well.  During the exam they discovered that I had hearing loss in my left ear, but it was not from the brain bleed.  Instead I was born with a piece of my hammer (small bone in the ear} missing.  I need to get this corrected or otherwise I will become deaf over time.  They can either use a hearing aid or do surgery.  I meet with the other surgical doctor November 9th.  Right now we are considering our options.  I will keep you updated.
