Sounds like your guy has many amazing qualities . Here's hoping the tests find an easily treatable condition and he can get back to how I assume he was before you noticed this issue . I don't think it's a reflection on your relationship that an event at your man's work has brought this to a head . I don't know your husbands character , but I know I dismiss things that others would go and see doctors about . If you don't acknowledge it then it's not real. But it's been a wake up call to him and probably scared him .
Hope it all turns out for the best .

We males struggle at multitasking at the best of times. So we find things like breathing and listening at the same time a challenge . Add a football game into the equation and we go virtually deaf .
