I can hear once more

I can finally hear again. It was, as I suspected a blocked eustachian tube and a
simple but pricey nasal spray has restored my hearing. The trouble seems to be
related to hayfever and I guess I will need to continue using it till autumn.
It is so good being able to hear music and enjoy. I stupidly kept putting off
going to Dr. and this problem could have easily been avoided.

Down and depressed.!

I am really down this week. I have an ongoing issue with my hearing with a constant rushing sensation. It seems cyclical in nature and is making me depressed. I just want it to go away so I can once more listen to music. It gets so bad that I cannot even hear my own voice. I am thankful that there are programs on TV with closed captions (CC).
