My Hearing Loss Story

From the beginning of my hearing loss and vestibular journey, I have kept a journal* which has helped me keep track of my symptoms, medical tests, and doctor appointments. I hope this helps you or someone you know going through a similar situation.

“You are not your illness.
You are not weak.

On this video, other vestibular patients and I explain how we live a life with a chronic, invisible illness.

IMPORTANT:

If you or a loved one has experienced sudden hearing loss, please SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION RIGHT AWAY, especially during the first 72hrs as the steroid treatment could be the only chance of getting your hearing back (partially or in some cases, 100%).

Please note that through my blog and journal I share my own views and my personal experience. Please consult with your doctor about any questions you may have regarding your health condition as every case is different.
