I have a hero!

I went back to the ENT today for my follow-up appointment. The good news is that the ringing finally went away over a week ago and today they ran some hearing tests to make sure that everything is completely fine with my ear. It turns out that my ear canal is smaller than normal (just an odd random fact I thought I'd throw out there) and that my hearing is fantastic! :-) He was actually very impressed with my hearing (go me!). :-) He said my OER's (or MRQ's or some junk that has to do with something with your hearing - ironically, I wasn't really listening to him) is comparable to that of a teenagers. The conversation went like this:

Dr: How old are you?
Me: What is wrong with you??
Dr: I know, I'm not supposed to ask that of a woman
Me: Silence (I refused to answer the question...I just let him look at my chart and do the math!) :-)
Dr: Well, your hearing is fantastic. It's comparable to that of a teenager!
Me: Well, that's how old I tell people that I am so that works for me.
Dr: Yes, the next time someone asks your age you can tell them you have the ears of a teenager. In fact, I'm about your age and I'm far worse than you are. I'm impressed with your hearing.
Me: Yes, I'm pretty amazing. (Except I didn't say that last part out loud) :-)

When he first walked in the room he asked how the ringing was in my ear. I told him it was all better and then I said, "You fixed me! You are my new hero!" and he responded with "Ok." At first I thought, "Dang, you don't have to be so arrogant!" but then I thought, "Wait, he's a miracle worker - he can be as arrogant as he wants!" :-)
