Pensioner's hearing returns on skiing trip
A pensioner who had been deaf for 15 years got his hearing back on a skiing trip.
Derek Glover, 72, was descending from 7,000ft in a cable car when his
ears "popped" and he was hit by an "incredible wave" of noise.
Derek from Bourne, Lincolnshire, has thrown away his two hearing aids.
Experts believe that a sudden change in air pressure may explain the return of his hearing.
According to the Daily Express Derek said: "I kept quiet at first when
we got home because I thought my hearing loss would return. But a nurse
examined my ears and found they were fine. My hearing has improved
massively, and I don't need my hearing aids any more." |
