After almost four years of this shit show, I may as well reveal myself. Believe it or not, I used to have a lot more hair and some life in those eyes. This location was a lot quieter once upon a time. I took that for granted. I hope you all can find a place to be happy. Much love!
I'm still dealing with this tinnitus battle, which we all know can be challenging at times. However, I'm doing my best not to let it stop me from living a fulfilling life. As Cameron Hanes says, "We must endure."
I have been devastated by severe noxacusis and middle ear myoclonus (and also tinnitus, though it affects me less) since 2010. These conditions have completely disrupted my life.
Over the years, the noxacusis has improved somewhat, but not enough to allow me to live a normal life outside my home. I always have to wear earplugs and sometimes use Bose headphones for additional protection.
I need a second surgery for middle ear myoclonus, this time on my other ear (the one affected by hyperacusis.)
I'm actively looking for opportunities to improve my quality of life.
