Ms Codruta Neumann 2022-04-24 Person 5 5 0

When I first met Ms Neumann in 2018, I confess that I had been pretty nervous about having a stapedectomy done on both ears. Doctors had mentioned the possibility as long ago as 2001 but I'd always put it off, preferring the hassle of hearing aids to the possible risks of operations going wrong. Both Ms Neuman and Mr Wasson (who carried out the second operation) were extremely professional, explaining the risks to me but also keeping me focused on the possible benefits - so that in each case, with both ears, I was happy to go ahead. I felt supported and had full trust that these individuals are at the very top of their profession and that therefore I was giving myself the best chance of success. In the event, both operations went very well. My hearing has seen a 40 db improvement in my right ear. Things are not quite so perfect in my left ear but this is due to the fact that the otosclerosis is further advanced in that ear - possibly because I left it a bit too long... Many many thanks to both surgeons for your skill. I would encourage anyone thinking about similar operations to go ahead. You'll be in good hands.
