It's Not Fair

It's not fair that we have to live with Tinnitus, and the rare Hyperacusis, both conditions are very detrimental at any level. The afflictions are not researched enough from lack of funding, so there is no cure, or no manageability (yet). The patient has to go through so much just to get by every single day, and not a single soul understands, but us.

  Three Survivors of Cancer Discuss Their Struggles With Tinnitus and Hyperacusis, two Conditions They Consider Far Worse Written by J. D. Rider  David Vance, Susan Caswell, and Kathy McCain fought the dreaded condition cancer in various forms. It's the diagnosis a person hopes to never get. But even so, they testify that cancer was easy compared to tinnitus and hyperacusis, an aural-twisted duo whose savage decrees equate to endless traps and prison life. Who took their lives and everything and blew them all to smithereens. To preface this article, these are THEIR stories. THEIR thoughts. They're talking from experience. And not to stink on cancer, but in THEIR situations, tinnitus and hyperacusis have been far, far worse. Cancer was scary, horrible. We all know it is. It takes lives, squashes hope.
