I woke up deaf today.
   
Edited on Thu Jul-01-10 05:09 PM by Leftist Agitator
I have had Meinere's disease since I have been 15. For the last 13 years, I have been deaf in my left ear. I am also afflicted with tinnitus in that ear. All day, every day, I hear a high pitched ringing that never, ever stops. It drove me insane at first. Now I only notice it when it is very quiet.

Which it now will be for the rest of my life. This morning, I woke up deaf.

I am devastated. I just started an MBA program 3 weeks ago. I don't read lips nearly well enough to be able to keep up in classes. I don't know any ASL, so an interpreter is out. I am going to have to quit the program and go back to working a minimum wage job. That is, if I can even find one. In this economy, who is going to hire someone with a profound disability when there are so many able-bodied job seekers?

I haven't accumulated enough work credits to qualify for Social Security disability, and even if I had, there is a six month wait before you can even apply for benefits. Even if I were to start getting disability checks tomorrow, they top out at less than $1000 / month, which is certainly not enough to live any kind of decent life on.

I feel like my life is over, and I'm not even 30 yet.

What  a DUmbass. Poor, poor little ole me. There's just so much wrong with this crying in my beer post.

6. Nothing comes to mind.
   
I'm absolutely terrified right now. How will I use a telephone? I'll never be able to use a drive-through anything ever again.

And music. I don't know if I can live without music. I'll never be able to hear my flute again.

What the hell is the point of playing an instrument you can't hear?

I'll never be able to find a job, not without being able to read lips.

I am so, SO ****ed.

Adapt. It's what people do.

20. You HAVE to see a doctor!
   
Please find someone who will treat you at a reduced fee. I'm sure there is someone out there and it would be worth it if they can restore even partial hearing. Don't give up!

34. There is no treatment or cure for Meinere's disease.
   
The only treatment is a labyrinthectomy which stops vertigo attacks but also causes permanent deafness.

I might be a candidate for cochlear implants, but that would be years down the road.

Ask Rush. I'm sure he would he glad to help.  :evillaugh:

38. I have a friend who said that he would take me to the ER.
   
I'll worry about the bill later. If there is any possibility that my hearing in my right ear can be restored, I'm going to find out .

We all know what that means. I ain't gonna pay it.

25. Not sure exactly how it works but if you were diagnosed with Meinere's disease at 15 you may ...
   
... be able to collect Social Security disability off of your parents Social Security credits? I am no lawyer so I am probably wrong but I would check into this possibility.

Good luck and I am very sorry to read of your predicament.

Same thing happend to me. I have sensori-nueral hearing loss. I started slow and became progressive.

YOU WILL LIVE! It's very hard but, you can do it. Mine started in my early 20's I have 2% hearing in one ear. Use CC TV, emails and text msg, fax instead of phones.

There is technology that wasn't around when it happened to me - not that, that's going to make you feel any better but, it will help you feel less isolated.

Find out about a University Medical Center is your area.

I'm not going to bullshit you and tell you to take it easy, relax, etc. You can be pissed off and mad as hell just take a deep breath and get your gloves on you're in for a fight. You're a Democrat for chrisakes, that says a lot about you.

I never learned ASL, I lip read. Before there was CC which is the only thing I'm grateful to Poppi Bush for is ADA I would watch TV with the sound off. It's hard if their back is turned but, then with CC I'm doing great.

I went to Duke in NC last year for a cochlear implant. Two months later I was diagnosed with Cancer and hearing lost it's importance. I'd rather be alive than hear.

You've reached out there are plenty of ppl here to help you. Also DU has a hearing impaird/deaf forum. Check Hawkeye or Hawkeye-X He's the moderator of Deaf and HH forum.

Good luck. :hug: P.S. I'll be 61 and I'm still raising hell!

LA is thinking, get your sob story out of my sob story thread.

Big campfire with lots of help about getting on SSDI. They know more about collecting disability than most lawyers.

Mrs. Tantal has an aunt that's blind as a bat.....and has been since she was about 5. She's managed to get a Master's Degree and has a very good job. Of all disabilities that people have to overcome....blindness, paralysis, spina bifida, etc, it seems that deafness would probably be the easiest to overcome.

This is a typical example of the primitive lack of daring and imagination.

If a primitive can't do something one certain way, he thinks he's screwed.

A primitive is utterly incapable of seeing that there's more than one way to do something.

I'm not the brightest light bulb in the room--far from it--but damn, having been deaf from birth, I think that somehow I've managed to do what hearing people do.  And it doesn't take brains--which is fortunate for those of the primitival mind-set--it takes only daring and imagination and creativity.

Which is unfortunate for those of the primitival mind-set.

Damn.  This primitive pisses me off.  I hope somebody kicks him in the teeth, for his silly helplessness.

And box him on the ears, too.

Thing that gets me is that he's working on his Masters. He has a degree in some field. Why can't he get a job in that profession? Unless he's a sound tech for the democrat party, testing obama's teleprompter.

So glad you saw this Frank! It's the first thing I thought of when I read the title.

Everyone I know with a disability has worked thru it and got on with life without a handout from the damn government! I work with a guy with muscular dystrophy. He has a full time job and still drives himself to work everyday! It's a little difficult to understand him until you get used to his voice, but the guy is an expert in the plumbing department. He has regular customers that refuse to be helped by anyone else.

I read these woe is me posts from these lazy asshats, and the only thing they can come up with is, "How do I get a hand out?", not how to get a "hand up".

****ing disgusting! But then again, I always use that word when discussing DUmmies!

Well, that's what I'm wondering about.

The execrable primitive alleges to be under 30, but he's probably close to 30.

He's had 10-15 of his life to work, to earn those social security credits (I have no idea how much it takes, but it probably doesn't take much).

What the Hell has the execrable primitive been doing the last 10-15 years of his life?

Are we sure that's not a mole? I was going to say I can't believe someone would post all that, but I read Franks post about greenbrier being DU poster of the year last night, so I guess I can believe someone would post all that, although it doesn't sound true at all.

I don't want to give the impression I'm unsympathetic to the plight of the execrable primitive.

No way; life without hearing is no picnic.

But life without hearing isn't an empty void either.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Oh.  I forgot.

We're talking about primitives here.

Well not to be too much of a bleeding heart, but I can understand feeling this way at first. It would be a shock. Granted, you can't make it a lifestyle but I'd give this one some slack for a bit.

But madam, sweetheart, most desired of my heart's desire, the execrable primitive alleges to have had 13-15 years to prepare for this moment.

Of course the execrable primitive's upset; it's a terrible thing to happen, when it happens.

I'm discounting his self-pity because of the shock of it actually happening; I'm giving the execrable primitive some slack here, probably more slack than what he deserves.

The thing is, his very first reaction, besides the shock, is-how can he get a handout. All other options are dismissed out of hand, as if no other options even exist. As another dummie said, he's a democrat, that says it all about him. The movers and shakers in the rat party have worked for decades to instill this very mindset in their serfs, and here we have an example of how well it's worked. "Fight", my eye, his very first instinct is to be a victim and to predicate his future on that idea without even weighing other options.

On the bright side....maybe the ER docs can just irrigate that earwax ball that's causing this consternation.

Meinere's is typically associated with one ear.  I am afflicted with this disease.  Where's my check ?!

As an aside here: is madmax a mole?  I found his post to be a slap and hug....not the typical dummy response.

The thing is, his very first reaction, besides the shock, is-how can he get a handout. All other options are dismissed out of hand, as if no other options even exist.....his very first instinct is to be a victim.....

Uh huh.

Well not to be too much of a bleeding heart, but I can understand feeling this way at first. It would be a shock. Granted, you can't make it a lifestyle but I'd give this one some slack for a bit.

If I read his plight as written Cin, he was aware this was a definite possibility. If that is the case, doncha think you would work on your sign language, brail, and lip reading before this occurred? Sounds to me like it was inevitable and this idiot just ignored it, or procrastinated to the point of negligence!

Hard for me to have any sympathy for someone who refuses to help himself. God helps those that helps themselves. Heard that somewhere before, course, a DUmmie has more than likely never heard of something so simple.

Well, I'm still pissed off that the execrable primitive thinks he can't have a life.

Damn.

Leftist Agitator would also do well to find a different support group than the DUmp.  I know he wants to go there to find out how to get free money, but this is not his biggest problem.  Besides, if you read through some of those diability threads, it's pretty damn hard to get the free pony, it takes a long time, a lot of red tape, and several rejections.  Even if you get it, and there's no guarantees, the money is paltry.  You are on poverty subsistence. 

I'm not going to feel sorry for anyone who names themselves "Leftist Agitator."  Bah, go away.
