text: I can tell you this much, anyone who gets gonorrhea more than once certainly must have a hearing problem (and possibly a mental problem) also because they should have listened when the person at the Health Department told them to use CONDOMS!\n\nHere's a good field trip for you, go down to your local family planning clinic or Health Dept. where they treat people who suspect they may have an STD (sexually transmitted disease). Interview some of the staff (if they have time to talk to you).  Find out as a "person on the spot" how the exam and the process goes, and you can probably also pick up some good pahphletts or sheets of information about the various sexually transmitted diseases and the tests and treatments!  The local Health Department can direct you to the proper place, because they are in the STD business!\n\nSo not funny!  This little field trip may help save your life, and give you a new perspective on why it is so important to be careful with all things sexual (even oral contact).  When they test most people for Gonorrhea, they also do throat swabs too, because they often find that a person who is infected in their genitals, may also be infected in their throats (sometimes only infected in their throats because they consider oral contact to be "harmless")!\n\nDysfunctions of the ear, I guess you could have infections, wax build up, difficulties with hearing certain sounds, ringing or what is called "Tinnitus" of the ear or progressive hearing loss associated with age, or noise exposure. Honestly the ear and STDs are very far apart from where I sit.  Unless the ear could be affected from a Gonorreal infection of the throat, or something?   \n\nI think next time you should give us more than one day of notice on your exam subjects. I have been known to tutor when I was in HS and University, but I need a bit of notice, since neither of these is my particular area of expertise. \n\nIn these days and times I think everyone should be well informed on the subject of STDs! The more you know, and the smarter you are with your own sexual practices, the better your chances are for living a long healthy and happy life! \n\nGood luck with the test!
