  Go get a job in the Emergency Dept. Then you don't ever need to worry about
  hearing murmurs or pleural rubs. It is too noisy - we are lucky to hear a
  lub-dub.

  Diane,
  You give me hope that I may finally learn to hear with just the one ear and
  hear what I need to...I am not so good with murmurs (eps if there is more
  than 1 or a cresendo-decresendo)...I will not stop trying...I feel pretty
  confident with lungs but pleural rubs are still inaudible to me...any
  suggestions appreciated..till then, I am doing what we all did in the
  beginning..practice, prctice, practice..
  thanks,
  Lynn

    Lynn,

    I'm so sorry about your job, along with everything else you've been going
    through.

    I don't know the nuances of the law regarding Americans with Disabilities
    Act or unemployment compensation, but seems you might have some recourse
    with the ADA since she fired you AFTER you became ill. You could consult
  an
    attorney specializing in employment law to see if there is any recourse
    along those lines.

    As far as the hearing loss goes, you should be able to perform your job
  just
    fine with hearing in one ear. There is no need to disclose your hearing
  loss
    unless bilateral hearing is a requirement of the job, as others pointed
  out.

    Many of us on this list are dealing with impaired hearing in one way or
    another. There are many more adaptive medical devices out there than I
  would
    have ever dreamed; it's a whole new world I'm just learning about now that
    I've started wearing hearing aids. There are nurses with total bilateral
    hearing loss that are working with adaptive devices. It's definitely not
    easy, but it's certainly possible.

    Cyberhugs and best wishes for a brighter future!

    Diane Dito

    Well, My  boss, the doc who owns the practice, stopped by my house after 
    church this  morning to tell me that she had thought it over very
  carefully
    and 
    that she  could not afford me any longer.  (Guess that 60,000/yr was just
  so

    much  more than I was worth).  
    I understand that not being there for the  past 5 weeks has made it bad
  for 
    her, but I took no salary for the time that I  have been off on sick
  leave.

    She gave me no notice or severance  package.  She said she would not
  cancel
    my 
    health ins. until the end of  the month.  She said that she decided to
  tell
    me 
    this way so my husband  could be there for support.  (I almost actually
  said

    out loud "How  thoughtful of you".  But I did not.  I just got home from 
    packing up  my office.  I also know that having to take time off for more
  dr
    appts  
    than I ever thought I would have is hard on the practice.  I had started
    back 
    1/2 days on Thursday, and there is no way I can do a full day yet.   
    I am still too upset to start polishing the CV and looking for another
  job,

    but is there some recourse that I might have?  I had no contract and  that
    is 
    one lesson hard learned today...although I did have one at my last job
  and 
    there was so many ways to get out of it that it was pretty  worthless.
    And how much disclosure do I  have to give my next employer  re: my
  hearing 
    loss?  I am afraid that I will not be able to get another  job when
  someone 
    finds out I have a total hearing loss in one ear.
    Sorry to  cry on everyone's shoulders but I am in a spot that I have never

    experienced  before and have no guidance.....and I am doubly scared
  because
    we 
    just bought  another house and have not yet sold ours so I am going nuts 
    thinking about  double mortgage payments!
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can  share..
    Lynn W
