Today I was listening to an interview with a writer that just passed from cancer. The host asked him if he had asked himself the question....."Why Me?" His answer struck me as true to me. He quoted another writer who answered it this way...."Why Not Me!" Simple but true.

Madness
Madness!! That is the only word that I can use to describe the noise in my head. How does anyone deal with it? Me I've started listening to more music. I forgot how much I loved just kicking back and jamming. Sometimes I think I'm screwing up my other ear. But the music is a welcomed noise. Funny that I thougt someday I would go deaf from listening to loud music. HA! Joke on me! I didn't! Something else I've tried is audio books. I do a lot of driving so this has helped. I listen to self help books. So I'll be deaf; but a little smarter. LOL

Hope??? Or Not!
It's been a while since I last put some thoughts down. I do know one thing and that's that I have not lost any hope. I read of cases that others have gotten their hearing back. In some cases it took months before they were able to hear; but in time did get their hearing back.
The hardest thing has been adjusting to everyday life. I don't pretend to hear everything because I don't. Simple noises are hard to identify. A quiet conversation is difficult. The ringing in my head is overwhelming at times and lossing my balance is just part of my everyday life now. What a normal life.
I find myself at times lost in the noise in my head. I think of how many years I have left with this and hope that I can learn to push forward day by day. I don't know how to explain the difficulty of closing your mind to constant noise.
