“Honey, you know, something seems different with my right ear….”  That was the first I’d heard in many, many years about my husband, Michael’s loss of hearing.  For about 5 years, he’d been saying – rather non-chalantly – that he was noticing that his hearing in his right ear was less than the one in the left ear.  We both attributed that to the many, many previous years of rock-n-roll.  Playing in bands, on stage with loud music blaring out of the monitor on his right.  He is my “rock-n-roll, hairdresser husband” after all.  That’s how we met.  He was my hairdresser first…. and he was so cool, with his long hair and the fact that he played lead guitar and was lead singer of a band made him even cooler.  When we started dating – Wow, I thought I’d hit the coolness jackpot!  But that’s another story that goes back to 1990….
