My name is Zach. I am a 29yr old male from Austin, TX. Not deaf yet but seem to be on the way. For the past year I have been progressively losing hearing and it is showing no signs of stopping. It all started with a high pitched tinnitus in the right ear which soon progressed to the left(and has never gone away). Thought it was just ringing until one day the right ear started to suddenly roar and feel full then I noticed my hearing become distorted. This has been happening off and on in both ears since then. All the while I am noticing it is becoming harder and harder to distinguish speech and sound is just not as vibrant as it once was. The ringing gets louder as the world gets more and more quiet. My ENT thinks it is Meniere's but I am not experiencing any vestibular symptoms. No vertigo at all. Anyway, just thought I would share my story and I look forward to to getting to know you all.
