Three Survivors of Cancer Discuss Their Struggles With Tinnitus and Hyperacusis, two Conditions They Consider Far Worse

  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. But so do these aggressors, as suicides are a frequent climax to tinnitus and hyperacusis.  As we cover their impact on each individual, they'll explain why these ear traps a...

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. They say that you need to live in the patient's shoes to really get it, and this goes with anything. When asked by family or friend's how we are doing, sometimes we may need to lie, and say that we are doing "alright", when really and truly we would like to say, that we are doing "absolute garbage".

An invisible illness. Severe chronic pain caused by sound that affects the ears and the head

  AN INVISIBLE ILLNESS. SEVERE CHRONIC PAIN CAUSED BY SOUND THAT AFFECTS THE EARS AND THE HEAD Ever wonder what people go through when dealing with an invisible chronic illness?, well that's what I am here to tell you all about. The conditions Hyperacusis / Noxacusis & Tinnitus, all three in which I suffer from are not to be taken lightly, they are all very painful. Imagine walking down the street and hearing the squealing from the train brakes from the train going by, or imagine a walkie talkie used by someone in a department store. These types of sounds can cause relentless pain for myself and many others who suffer from these conditions. The sounds of people talking to you, the shopping carts rolling by in the stores, the PA systems, the sounds of typing on the computer. These are sounds that normal hearing people do not recognize, but for someone who has Hyperacusis / Noxacusis and Tinnitus these sounds can cause extreme pain, and especially e...
