Hearing Aid Update


I have been living with a hearing aid for about a month and a half now, so I thought I'd give you guys a little update on how everything is going.

It's going pretty damn well!

When I first got my hearing aid the ear piece was a very general one - one that could fit into anyone's ear. It worked fine, but it was itchy from time to time. At first I didn't notice too big of a difference with or without the hearing aid on, only some certain noises and stuff. It took a few weeks for my brain to adapt enough for me to be able to notice how my hearing drops when I take the hearing aid out. I also noticed how it helps with my tinnitus :)

Almost a couple of weeks ago I got my own individual ear piece, and was introduced to whole new sounds! I didn't know there could be that big of a difference between the general ear piece and the individual one! I hear so much better now. The ear piece fits my ear perfectly (as it should, of course), and doesn't itch. Plus it's pretty ;)

It still amazes me how unnoticeable my hearing aid is. Not a single person has asked me about it, not a single person who doesn't know about it seems to notice it. It's interesting to me. I usually wear my hair up, and still no one notices! Not complaining, but I always kinda thought it would be more visible. :D

Have a good weekend!

    Every time I am with my brother I am amazed seeing him walking stress free because I can still remember when he was struggling to stand alone on his own but couldn't because of weakness in his leg, muscle losses, stiff muscles and Meniere Disease Challenges too. He hardly speaks then, he has an impaired voice but right now after undergoing MADIDA HERBAL CENTER'S Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Meniere Disease treatment plan he can speak freely and hear as many other symptoms he used to have were lifted off him as he is super okay and perfectly fine now. I am deeply grateful to this herbal center and very happy for my brother's recovery.

How Others React To My Meniere's Disease

I had never heard of Meniere's disease before I found out I have it, so it wasn't really realistic for me to expect others to know what was going on with me. When I started telling people I have MD, the most common replies were: "Okayyy..?" "What's that?" "Neverheard" "A what disease?" "Ooh, what a cool name!" Yep. My chronic illness does have a cool name, I do agree. It's sad how Meniere's is so little known. My friends were interested in learning about it, but since my disease is pretty well under control and it doesn't have a direct affect on anyone besides myself, they tend to forget about it. They'll ask things like: "What was the name of that condition you have, again?" "You had some ear thing, right?" "Are your ears all better now?" I don't take it personally if someone I know forgets the name of my disease or if someone remembers the name but doesn...

Life Update

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting for a while. Everything else kinda got in the way... so, I wanted to take this chance to update you on what's been going on lately :) I've now been living with my hearing aid for about two weeks. The more days pass the more perks I'm noticing, so there's no way I would give it up anymore. However, I have been experiencing ear pain (most likely not because of the hearing aid), and it's stressing me out. My ears are so messed up, I feel like there's always something wrong with them. I have an appointment to see my audiologist in a couple of weeks, but I'll call her this week to see if I need to get another appointment with a doctor, too. I'll let you know what happens. School is also taking up a lot of my energy right now. My thesis alone gives me a headache. I'm getting more and more excited about graduation! I should graduate in May or June, depending on when I can hand in my thesis. The writing process is slo...
