9 After growing more & more concerned at remaining totally without hearing, did some research, ordered a surgeon-developed treatment, and now have hearing restored in my left ear. A major breakthrough and it showed the severity of the eustacean tube issue/infection. Still working on the right ear, but feel over the moon that after almost 2 months, I can now actually hear the ocean, birds, and MUSIC
! If I’d listened to my Doc, I’d have remained totally deaf for potentially many more months, so am incredibly grateful for the internet age we’re living in.
Oh my gosh, that’s so great! I can only imagine how awful it must be to completely lose one’s hearing all of a sudden, so glad you’re getting it back. Hopefully the right ear will also get healthy again soon.
Thanks D&D
. It’s been a very surreal couple of months, and the experiences I’ve encountered while out have taught me so much about just how hard it is for people who are deaf to be understood. People could not take on board that I couldn’t hear them. I’ve had people continue to talk to me and try to sell me things, even after I’ve told them I’m very sorry but have ear issues and can’t hear at the moment. Like it’s an invisible disability, and unless they see me signing, the can’t accept that I’m not able to hear them. I just let them carry on, and thanked them all the same, but it was eye opening. So, so grateful to be have my hearing back ... I’m still waking up a little frightened initially, that maybe I still can’t hear .... but am over the moon realising it’s genuinely happened.
Hope you’re okay since the biopsy, and taking it easy.
