Patient Stories - Reconstruction Patient Stories

Willa Moss' Story: "Third Time Is a Charm"
[ July 2003 ]

My dilemma started in 1957 as a result of a busted eardrum. I lost partial hearing in my left ear. As time progressed, in 1966, I developed an infection, which lead to an emergency surgery. As a result of that surgery, 90% of my hearing in the left ear was gone.

I resorted to hearing aids as a method of restoration of the hearing. In 1991 I was referred to a physician who could possibly restore my hearing through surgery. After two surgeries and several consultations, I was told my hearing could not be restored.

With the passing of time and many embarrassing moments because I could not hear all conversations directed to me, I grew very frustrated.

The new millennium brought about new hope. In 2002 I went for a scheduled appointment to be tested for a new hearing aid. That was when I met Dr. Bahu. After my examination, Dr. Bahu explained that he knew a surgeon who could restore a percentage of my hearing. Dr. Bahu was so convincing that I thought all right, maybe I'll try once more.

I called to schedule an appointment and hence the meeting of Dr. Dennis Bojrab. After testing and consultations with Dr. Bojrab, I had a decision to make. Dr. Bojrab took the time to explain how and why he felt he could restore some of my hearing. Because of Dr. Bojrab�s mannerism, I developed confidence in him and the decision was made.

December 9, 2002 I underwent a third surgery to restore hearing in my left ear. Dr. Dennis Bojrab successfully rebuilt an eardrum and I can hear!!!

The other surgeries had left me very ill, but not Dr. Dennis Bojrab. Dr. Bojrab is very caring and trustworthy. I think much of the success of any physician is not just he along but his staff as well. Dr. Dennis Bojrab the staff and associates are very knowledgeable and congenial.

I would strongly recommend Dr. Dennis Bojrab and Associates at the Michigan Ear Institute to any and everyone.

Respectfully,
W.M.
