chocchick Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hope it went well. I did loads of exams at school-grade 7 piano, and grade 6 cello. It was the aural exams that scared me. If you prepare well with a good teacher it is fine. I think I sometimes ran my hands under warm water if they got cold beforehand. I went to several at a music teacher's house which I liked as she had exotic pictures/trinkets from her holidays and cats and dogs milling round.

susiepoos Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hope your exam went OK Liz - now the wait for the results - my son has just got a distinction at Grade 3 piano - we are so proud of him because he is totally deaf in his left ear and is due to have surgery on it on Feb 18th. He's had a really rough time but he has done so well. Good luck - and let us know when you get your results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 - my son has just got a distinction at Grade 3 piano - we are so proud of him because he is totally deaf in his left ear and is due to have surgery on it on Feb 18th. He's had a really rough time but he has done so well.. Congratulations to him - that's brilliant . Do you mind if I ask about the operation he's getting? I have 70% hearing loss in my left ear and have an option of surgery which I've been putting off for years. They think it's otosclerosis and have suggested a stapedectomy. My worry is that there's a (small) chance of being left totally deaf. If you are happy to discuss it, you could PM me if you'd rather. (But please don't worry if you'd rather not .)

My worry is that there's a (small) chance of being left totally deaf. If you are happy to discuss it, you could PM me if you'd rather. (But please don't worry if you'd rather not .) sorry with the delay answering - hadn't caught up with the thread!!!!!!! Rob is 13 years old and has had glue ear since he was a baby. This will be his 7th operation on Monday. He's had the normal grommets and in between ops wore hearing aids, then 18 months ago his hearing dropped dramatically in the right ear and they did a mastoidectomy and t tube insertion. This improved things dramatically. At this time the left ear was good but on our last visit 4 weeks ago they noted that the ear drum was completely sucked in - so bad that you could clearly see the ear bones through the drum - it was also stuck to his auditory nerve. His hearing test was the worse it had ever been to the point that the he was hearing nothing through that ear - infact with the tuning fork exam he didn't hear it in his left ear but in his right!!! The initial plan is to put in a t tube but he has had a CT scan since then so we think that things might change - they have suggested depending on the scan results he will need a mastoidectomy and/or a graft ear drum. He's so good but absolutely fed up with all the fuss - doesn't want another op but was told if he didn't he'd definitely have irreversible deafness - so hey!ho! here we go again!!!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Thanks for your reply. Oh my word, your poor boy . What an horrific time he must have had - and pretty darn brave to go through so many ops. That puts my ear in its place - my op is unnecessary and I have no pain, just some hearing loss so it's easy to deal with. I wish you all the best of luck for his next op - I hope it goes successfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
