   Well it might have been.  Years ago I spent a fortune on a hearing aid   
   (to try and silence family members trained to taunt me about my vanity)   
   that did no good from day one, and did no good a bunch of (a thousand?)   
   dollars later.  (My reports of feeling pressure in that ear did finally   
   trigger some defensive medicine but I decided to separate myself and   
   save everybody good money by not sending it after bad.)   
      
   Years later, in another panic medicine episode I stumbled and the   
   cardiologist went full panic, and that eventually led to a   
   claustrophobes nightmare (MRI) that disclosed a tumor   
   (schwasomething-or-other) that had destroyed, irrevocably, the nerve in   
   that ear.  An that destruction had almost certainly occurred when the   
   materials in the hearing aid were still undisturbed in some bucolic   
   countryside somewhere.
