Patrick, Not silly at all! Usually an acoustic neuroma. They are extremely slow growing and usually benign (nothing is typically done about...
That's fine. I doubt you will be playing it long enough to affect you in any way. :) and it's usually high volumes that do the damage.

I agree with all of the above posts. When I'm looking for a patient's MML, we do each side separately, then binaural. Usually, binaural is a...
