ENT appointment

Journal entry by Stacey Lunde —

Matt's appointment with Dr. Noel(ENT) went well. His left ear only has 68% clarity and the right ear has 92%. He will have surgery(a Tympanoplasty) next Wednesday morning on his left ear. In 3 or 4 weeks he will have the right side done. He does have some nerve damage so the surgeries will definitely help but he will more than likely still need hearing aids after he heals
