Former Canadiens Forward Lukas Vejdemo Becomes Deaf in One Ear After On-Ice Accident
Such a terrible story.
"The puck hit badly on the ear and it rang quite well. It happens so fast that you don't have time to react. I felt directly that it was not good at all."
"I hear nothing at all on one ear. Sometimes it heals by itself, other times an operation is required. As I understand it, it's nothing you need to do directly, but you can wait with the operation." - Lukas Vejdemo
