When doctors searched Mike's head for brain injuries, they instead found an acoustic neuroma: a potentially life-threatening tumor. The tumor was removed, but the procedure left Mike completely deaf in one ear and with significant hearing loss in the other.<br />This week, Mike opens up about his Single-Sided Deafness (SSD) and hearing loss.
