Actually, that is exactly what I am getting. His last comment said he is getting more sensitivity to sound, but he still doesn’t have clarity. If he really doesn’t have clarity he probably does have severe to profound hearing loss. Severe to profound hearing loss doesn’t mean you don’t hear things, it means you don’t have any clarity.
If you can’t understand someone speaking loudly and clearly directly to you in a quiet room — if you cannot understand them at all or can only understand a few words, then you are probably unaidable and legally deaf in that ear.
I am not saying that he has no hope of recovery or that he won’t find a treatment that works for him, but as it stands now this is what it seems like to me.
