After doing a bit of damage to my right ear in a dive to 53m training for the UK Championships, I went to the doctor to get my medical certificate signed. He took one look in my ear and referred me to an audiologist and an ENT specialist for a better look. I went to see them today and am very relieved to report that I am 100% ok and I apparently have well above average hearing! Hooray! A big relief after six years of freediving that no damage has been done. I was sure he was going to tell me that I had significant hearing loss, which would have explained why my wife says I never listen to her. Now I need to find another excuse. HAHA.
Kind regards,

PS Man those ENT doctors love to talk about freediving!
