He is obviously a deep thinker and intellectual. Perhaps if more of us couldn't hear so well, we would be more aware of what's in our own minds. Can I use this as fodder for my blog?Tina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767768721944047560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-56402183053136592692008-11-11T13:10:00.000-08:002008-11-11T13:10:00.000-08:00I'm no expert, but I'm told the tinnitus is pretty...I'm no expert, but I'm told the tinnitus is pretty common.<BR/><BR/>Tate really began to notice it when he abruptly lost the hearing he used to have in his left ear. The tinnitus may come and go, because not too many months ago he was being bothered by it and associated it with losing the hearing. He was afraid he was losing the hearing in his "good" ear!<BR/><BR/>The Oto. was able to reassure him that the tinnitus if very NORMAL and not a sign that he is losing more hearing. Now it is just annoying, not frightening to him.<BR/><BR/>I suppose for some (many?) it's just reality, so they don't question it.<BR/><BR/>The funny thing was that the Oto. (a very intelligent woman!) suggested using 'white noise' to mask the tinnitus. Ummm, do you realize how LOUD the 'white noise' would have to BE???<BR/><BR/>That wasn't a practical help!Herding Grasshoppershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668974245505544238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-46207370809165364032008-11-11T05:52:00.000-08:002008-11-11T05:52:00.000-08:00Ugh- the tinnitus must be quite annoying!

I've often wondered what it is like for him, but since he's only four, never asked. On some levels I think I'm worried that it will sadden me. But then that is coming from me, a hearing person. Heck, nights like last night I WISH I could turn my ears off, so that I couldn't hear the snoring husband, or the coughing child or the crying baby! Yes, all three in one night...I'm going to be tired today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-19749784420496308642008-11-10T16:21:00.000-08:002008-11-10T16:21:00.000-08:00Tate (pardon the pun) but I HEAR YA!Tate (pardon the pun) but I HEAR YA!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
