My tinnitus has been bearable and even better than that, I've been back playing acoustic and electric guitars with no issues recently. I could hug the world for that.<br /><br />Like you I've lost parents, friends, drinking but to lose music... that would be the most painful for me for sure. I do worry that my condition has been over years getting worse whenever I have an episode and that even with the latest medication that deterioration will continue.

My ignorance was such that I thought once it was implanted, you could hear exactly what the hearing population hears...including music. I'm so sorry this isn't the case. I'm glad you are able to hear speech better but I'm sad it was at the cost of music.<br /><br />I was talking to my son the other day (he has low vision brought on by optic nerve hypoplasia) and he was explaining to me that he doesn't see eyes. He has no idea what color eyes anyone has. He also doesn't do facial expressions well which has caused him some social awkwardness over the years but it was the thought that he's never seen my eyes that broke my heart.<br /><br />Then, like you, I remembered that at least he has SOME sight and I am grateful for that.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing a part of your world with us Wendy.<br /><br />Sherry SoberMomWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845259535764391849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496458200245645063.post-87003777423287619702015-08-03T08:18:19.707-07:002015-08-03T08:18:19.707-07:00Hi Angie!

I was so surprised to listen to the two recordings, and yes, I cried a little bit for you. But I'm glad you're doing so well, embracing life and enjoying it fully despite the loss. Sending you a big hug. I hope you get out kayaking again!
