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.
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 […]
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’. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’ve now been following the ‘Medical Medium’ protocol for about a year (previous posts here and here) so here’s a little update on how it is going. I must admit I’ve been getting a little lazy these last few months. I’ve been indulging more often in meals out, more meat, less raw food and not doing […]
I absolutely love this post by Bea Webster and had to reblog it (…but didn’t know how so just copied and pasted it!). Her blog is here. PART 1 I thought I would put up my own sort of a very brief mini deaf awareness blog that may contain non-PG words (actually, it does). They are […]
I’ve been following the Medical Medium Protocol for around 4 months now (first post is here). Seeing as I think, breathe and live this protocol I thought I’d give you a little update, share my passion, and for any other devotees out there, share my tips for how to do normal life whilst on a significantly limited […]
Its been a while since I posted about my self-healing techniques and I wanted to update you on my new approach which I’m enthusiastically following. It’s important because when I am fully healed and have marveled the medical establishment with my miraculous healing, you’ll need to know how I did it! 😉 Progress on the […]
Lots has happened. After my last post I had to concentrate on various practicalities. Having been off work for 6+ months my pay dropped to half and I was concerned with how to make ends meet. It takes quite some time and effort to navigate the benefit system and work out what you’re entitled to. […]
One night In late April 2012 I awoke about 3 or 4am with the worst headache I’ve ever had. I couldn’t sleep, so got up and waited until the doctors office opened and got there as soon as it opened at 11am which seemed like an eternity. The doctor said I had an ear infection […]
When my ENT and GP told me a few months ago, that I had Menieres Disease, I immediately started taking all the supplements in the John of Ohio Regimen for Menieres. Although it can take time to work, and doesn’t work for everyone, some people claimed it had healed them so I gave it a go. Over […]
I cant believe its been 5 months since I became ill. Time is passing so fast and all I’m doing is going to appointments back and forth trying to get my life back on track. There is so much I want to write about but I just haven’t had the time unfortunately as I’ve had […]
I’d like to open up a space on this blog for other people to share their experience with vestibular issues, labyrinthitus and hearing loss. It can be so isolating as the people around us don’t understand what we are seeing, feeling and hearing. Personally I so appreciate connecting with others who have had similar experiences and […]
Last week I had my final intratympanic steroid injection. I’m glad that’s over as neither me nor my family enjoyed travelling an hour to hospital to sit there and wait for 5-6 hours each time. It was exhausting and it’s not exactly a comfortable thing to have a needle pushed all the way through your […]
Helichrysum oil, also known as ‘Everlasting’ and ‘Immortal’ essential oil, is made from the European flower species H.Angustifolium and H. Italicum. The oil is well known for its restorative properties to the skin, liver and nervous system but I discovered that it is also known for its ability to help ear health problems such as hearing loss […]
