I want to go to an otolaryngologist (one step above and ENT doctor) to see if there is something blocking my hearing in my head. Has anyone been to such a doctor in Florida . I am willing to travel. Maybe a cochlear implant. I just don't know.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hearing the spoken word but not understanding it is common with a hearing loss. I have used Dr Thomas Thomason in Ocala. He is with a group practice there, and is an experienced, bd certified, no nonsense doc. Thoroughly explore your options before going down the path of a cochlear implant. That is just my 2 cents worth.
