I Am One Deaf Ear

Relations,

Good Evening and welcome to a safe place to kick back, take your shoes off and relax a spell while you read and I hope enjoy what it is I share. How it is I speak and how I convey my messages. Also the ones I refer to as my utterances. Those times when I am influenced and am living in the moments with Meniere's Disease and it's symptoms. I do this form of communicating so that my guests and readers are able to get as 'up and close' as possible to this pain in the ass disease. Good gracious yes, it is one of them, a true pain in life's ass of a disease. I am thankful to My God for this not being a disease that will kill me, but please and even though, I say and share this now, this shit will drive me to madness beyond anything Shakespeare could have come up with.

Before I go much further, I share that I am a person with one deaf ear and it's also true that on the same side as deaf ear I lack balance. These were as a consequence of a battle against this War against The Meniere's. I lost these functions in a surgery that would lead up to my implant and BAHA, the Bone Anchored Hearing Aid and Implant. The first operation took place in 2009. Since I have had another ten or so operations and surgical procedures above my neck. The last two last year. Please let this be a good sign that there will be no more operations on my left side.

The hearing in my right ear is whacked. I have moderate hearing loss, as it measured by clinical equipment. I can not even begin to figure what this moderate loss would mean in real life scenarios. I know how it feels and what it hears like. Oh please, the time will soon be right for the next step in hearing quality. This will be an appliance of some sort or another which will then lead to another implant, my next Cochlear Implant.

As far as the disease Meniere's, it is always going to be this very humiliating and troublesome disease that will drive me slowly mad should I not keep a focus on what it is I have to do in my life and on My Path. That being forever vigilant and keeping the strong desire to stomp up on  Meniere's Disease. And that extraordinary urgency to learn the language of American Sign Language. My heart and Spirits know this is the time. Soon, I will live in a world Out Of Sound.

I am One Deaf Ear now. In foreseeable future I will be "Two Deaf Ears". Yes, soon with expensive implants and even more expensive processors, but when the appliances are turned off - my hearing will be inexplicably turned off, rendering me - One Deaf Man. Seen.
