Hi eve dawn how are you?
could 'ofr' simply mean 'only from right'? as i assume it is about an audiology test

nad means 'nothing abnormal discovered' or detected.

bednobs

2 weeks hearing loss
nothing abnormal detected in gait (stance and walking)

Don't know about ofr

a gait test is a test of balance in someone to assess their ability to walk:

and so maybe NAD means no obvious difficulty ?
