Well this day is totally hosed! We’re okay - I may have lost the hearing in my right ear from the side airbag. ER says ear drum is intact but they can’t tell about structural damage behind it so they’re setting me up with an ENT. This sucks- I could only hear from that ear anyway because I’m totally deaf in my left ear and have been for 10 years.

Good that you’re ok, but that looks pretty serious. Hoping your hearing comes back!

Sad for all the problems, glad you weren't hurt badly. Hopefully your hearing will return, how else will I talk your ear off on the phone??

Was it full daylight or dusk? Deer are very dangerous at dusk, near impossible to see unless you catch their eyes in the headlights. And often where there is one there are more just waiting to cross in front of you if you happen to miss the first one.

It was 1:15 this afternoon…clear day, sunny skies but a storm is rolling in later so it was clouding up, but that was still a ways off and behind us.

I hope so too. Thanks. Collision Center says the van is almost certainly totaled.

Can’t do much when it’s something like that. At least it’s a not at fault thing. Hope you made it home before the storm!

It was a suicidal deer. We never saw it at all. Ken never even touched the brakes. Jenny and Katie were a couple of cars behind us on their way home from Katie’s orthodontist. She pulled over and waited for the first responders and tow truck with us. As soon as the van was dropped off at Western Collision she took us home. Deer died instantly. We hit him at a full 70 mph. Jen and Katie said he literally went airborne, took out a mile marker post, and continued flying all the way across the ditch to the other side. Three Highway patrolmen were looking for him and never did find him.
We’re mostly okay. A few minor airbag burns. We’re mostly Stunned. Shocked. Mad. and Worried.

Went to ER for my ear. Eardrum is intact but they’re setting me up with an ENT because they can’t check for structural damage on the other side of the eardrum. Peachy. Just peachy.

Me too!! I had my head tilted to the side by my window when the airbag hit me dead on the ear. Thought my ear was ringing from the noise at first but it’s gotten progressively worse and I can barely hear out of it now. If I tense my jaw muscles slightly it sounds like plates rattling. I’m permanently deaf in my left ear and have been for years, so I don’t want any issues with the right one!

Blooie, you should get checked out for whiplash And accident related TMJ also.
If your jaw is tight and you feel like " something is shifting " or just not right, see a dentist too. A dental guard made to fit, may actually help the ear ringing, and will definitely help your jaw.
