My Crazy Unexplained Hearing Loss Fluctuations
Here are all the audiograms I have. A line in each horizontal area of the audiogram corresponds to the following categories of hearing loss. Apparently it is very unusual to have this type of extreme hearing fluctuations. I’d love to hear from anyone else who has anything remotely similar to this.
5 Year dizzy-deaf-iversary
Five years ago today, my life was completely altered by losing my music-adoring, balance-giving, communication-enabling, eyesight-stabilizing ears. I appreciate it’s been ages since I’ve written and that’s good on one hand because I’ve been immersing myself in love, life and work. It’s also to some extent that I didn’t want to keep writing blogs about […]
How to accommodate and support someone with hearing loss
I’m regularly complimented on how well I’ve coped with the changes and how “amazing” I am to have adapted so well. It’s great to hear this positive feedback and I gladly accept any compliments coming my way! It has been tough and I know I have done well. It’s nice that my achievements are ‘seen’. […]
Tinnitus Poem
My ears hiss and hum, they fizz and they freak, like a song with no melody week after week You hear sound, and I hear distortion. This ever present noise, is driving me to exhaustion I may never hear quiet, or stillness again. I wonder how long, till it drives me insane A chord played […]
Epstein Barr Virus and Hearing Loss, Menieres, Balance Disorders and Tinnitus
Happy New Year my lovelies! Wishing you all healing progress in 2018. Today I want to talk about Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) again. I know I’ve posted about it before but It’s coming up so frequently in my natural health practice and because there is a general lack of awareness about it, especially among those with hearing […]
Justin (46) Oscillopsia, Vestibular Neuritis, 2017
Hello to my bilateral oscillopsia friends! What started 6 months ago as a fever, turned to a cold, to a sinus infection, to an ear infection, to some hearing loss (1 ear only), and left me with permanent inner ear nerve damage and the HELL we all live in called “Oscillopsia”. Also, I have no […]
Steroids for hearing loss
Thank you for all your support. I really appreciate the messages of support. I’d like to update you that after 10 days of high dose oral steroids (Methylpredisolone) my hearing in my right ear returned. As you must have gathered from my last post, losing more hearing was SERIOUSLY STRESSFUL and really hit my world. […]
Advice for those experiencing SUDDEN HEARING LOSS and/or PERMANENT VERTIGO
Last week I had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful, bright and brave woman who sadly, is going through what I went through. Her ears, eyes and balance are in crisis. Her experience takes me back to that desperate, time-critical search for information that all the normal channels such as GP’s and hospitals often fail […]
Downward decibel slope
There is a terror that freezes you stone cold when you realize that your world and how you predominantly interact with it, could be taken away from you. And there is nothing you can do but watch it happen. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion. Except in my case it looks like […]
Two years later
Today is my Remembrance Day. It’s been two years exactly. Every second of it is etched in the landscape of my memory, because it changed my life irrevocably. I remember that curious feeling of stepping into the world and realising that it’s not the same place anymore nor I the same person. I remember feeling […]

Hello to you from Germany,
I am most impressed by your stringent approach and trust you will finally succeed and you regain your hearing ability.
I am also on the MM protocol since February. I suffer from Tinnitus for the last 18 years.
Maybe it does the trick…
Eager to hearing from you once you get better.
All the very best.
Michael

Hi Michael, Thanks for your message. I have found that when I stick to the protocol usually my hearing stays stable. It’s when i go off track that I have dramatic fluctuations. I haven’t written in a while but i will be back! 🙂

Hello Candice,
I have only just found your blog, well stumbled across it really. The lovely lady in our local health shop (I live in Northland, New Zealand) mentioned drinking celery juice for my raft of problems (so similar to yours not funny). In my searches I came across your incredible story and journey. I am still reading it and about to launch into the protocol outlined. I hope and pray you are finding healing in your life and look forward to hearing (sorry no pun, I now wear two hearing aids for a “reason unknown “ hearing loss) more of your journey. Cheers. Ursula
