Useful Link to keep a check on your hearing

[jac-s]

Hello, I thought I would share this link as I have had some hearing issues after being diagnosed with PMR and I wish I had taken this hearing test at the onset so I could keep a track of it. Hope you find it useful, I use it as a differential test (didn't bother to calibrate it) always using the same pc headset and pc settings then I can compare if my hearing has stayed the same over time. hearingtest.online/

There was recently a survey undertaken of patients with hearing/balance issues with PMR/GCA - it is now closed. But it may be worth mentioning it to your rheumy - ear problems can be part of PMR and are found in a fair number of GCA patients. All the same cause: reduced blood flow due to inflammation.
