Tinnitus Talk Support Forum
@Jack Straw Thank you for checking in. I wish I could tell you I was doing better. In addition to my chronic pain, reactive tinnitus, hyperacusis, I am trying to get a diagnosis for diabetes or a gastrointestinal issue. (And thus have eaten very little the past week) I am scared for my financial future as I don't know what job I could possibly do.
My retail job has cut my hours massively after turning in my ADA. Neurology appointment this week. Crossing fingers that I can get the ball rolling for facial injections or surgery.
@Red . Is there any jobs you can do from home?
@Jack Straw A job from home requires a computer. I cannot use a computer. Unless a miracle happens and my chronic pain is cured, I can't do anything requiring a computer, filing or handling papers, or anything else dextrous. I can't lift more than 3 pounds. I can't tolerate a lot of noise because of H.
I am very sorry to hear that red. Can you use a phone? There are companies that use people to translate phone conversations between deaf people and people who can hear.
@Jack Straw After my hyperacusis worsened in September, I can no longer use a phone. I cannot watch TV. I cannot listen to music. If the sound comes from any speaker, I hurt. Only natural sounds, like voices, I can tolerate.
@Red oh okay. Im sorry to hear about this situation Red. I wish I could know / do more to help you.
@Jack Straw It's okay. Thank you though. I am very broken and I need either my hyperacusis to improve and stabilize or for my chronic pain to.
Chronic pain sucks big time too.... can't really compare which one is worse: chronic pain or hyperacusis or tinnitus, alll of them suck
@Layla23 I'm not bothered by car sounds. In general I'm not bothered by low frequencies unless they are really loud. When they are loud I usually just get tension headaches which aren't so bad but high frequencies do a number on me. I can stand right next to my heater unit and be fine but can't tolerate the TV even on the lowest setting.
