The largest issue for me has been dealing with sounds over the cellphone.

We have an agreement now to hang up if he's going to run a blender or wash dishes etc.
Also, when he gets caught up in a story and starts talking in a higher pitch on the phone, I lose ability to understand what the heck he's saying.

Simultaneously, I've noticed a significant loss of hearing in my left ear. Prior to the diagnosis or having researched anything about MG, I was wondering aloud how I could be more sensitive to sound while simultaneously experiencing hearing loss.
