I've had 3 major surgeries in a year, several hospitalizations in between, for dehydration and blood transfusions. as well, problems at home with one of my children, so can't say exactly whether it was the stress or medication or trauma of having all those surgeries, that was the cause of my...

What is white noise? If I don't have my hearing, will I benefit from this?

Thank you for understanding.. It helps to know that stress can worsen it. Maybe that is why it's been worse lately. I have been under a lot of stress lately. Since I cannot make out words or songs anymore because I can't hear, I find the only thing that does help is distraction, but at...

I'm mostly all deaf and you would think I would be grateful to hear, but not the tinnitus sound going on in my head, it's like a factory running in full blast, and it's getting louder. Please someone help. I put on other sound to distract this sound, but I can't hear music so that is no help...

Thanks Tommy, that is giving me some hope and I will bring it up to the Audiologist the next time I see her. She mentioned CI's but I told her what the ENT said and she became quiet and then tried to encourage me. She did say before that I don't have cilia hairs or to that effect? Yes...

Thank you all. I've been to three Specialist, but I don't understand nerve deafness, is it a dead nerve issue or is it a lack of cilia hairs, I don't think they know for sure, does that mean no one with sensorineural loss can get Cochlear implants? My audiologist knows more than the...

JanieN, when I read your post, I felt like crying because I feel so much like you. In a way we are sitting on a fence half in between the hearing world and the deaf world. I always took my hearing for granted till I lost most of it. Do we ever get use to it? Just when we pass one hurdle it...

Vegandreamer, that must be awful to have profound hearing loss and be blind as well. I have profound hearing loss and on someday's my eyes are blurry, drives me bonkers, so can only imagine not being able to see as well as not hear?

Thank you all. Tommy, I hear you about the Aids. They help but do not make our hearing as before. Sounds like your hearing is progressive as well? Do you have sensorineural hearing loss? I find that even though voices can be loud, at times they are muffled and not clear enough to...

Welcome, I can understand how you feel, having hearing before and then losing it. I am a grandma and cannot hear at all without my hearing Aids. I can't hear my own voice, let alone my grandkids. My husband is trying to be helpful, but it doesn't always look that way by the expressions...

Hi, I'm new here. I'm probably older than most on this forum, yet I suffer too. My hearing has been going for probably the last 15 years or more. Specialist said it's immune related and genetic and now aging is in the picture as well? . I have lost 70-80 percent of my hearing and it's worse...
