Would noise cancelling headphones help me or hurt me? I found a pair of noise cancelling headphones while cleaning my mother's garage. My nephew, who works in landscape maintenance, left them there. I wonder if I could go to a ball game or mow the lawn again while wearing them? What are your...

I will be attending my husband's company Christmas party tonight. I don't enjoy this annual event because of my ear issues. I only have hearing in my right ear so I can only hear people close to the right side of my body. My deaf, left ear reacts to all sound and parties are loud. Thus...

It has been almost four years now since I lost all hearing in my left ear. I have not enjoyed even one second of silence since that day. In addition to the constant tinnitus and ear fullness, my deaf ear reacts to all of the sound that my good ear hears. I have had to make adjustments to my...

I lost all hearing in my left ear in 2013. I still have normal hearing in right ear. I have not had one waking second of silence in my deaf ear since 2013 and I always feel sensations of heat, inflammation, movement, fullness, etc. Every sound I hear in my good ear is accompanied by noise in my...
