#ear problems

The fact that my ears are in agony again and I don't even care should be concerning but I'm too tired. 15+ years of this, what's another year

[v-tired-queer]

Just learned that, infact, not everyone has to deal with constant, annoying, near 24/7 ringing in their ears. Shocked and upset.

Hyperacusis.

I have chronic migraines + adhd which makes me extremely sensitive to sounds. Even things like breathing loudly can set me off. Its is so painful to listen to sounds. Everything is intolerable. But nothing in this world is meant to accommodate disabilities, especially invisible ones like chronic pains. Every second of my existence is painful to me, and tbh it’s tiring living like this.

I am home bound for no reason. My personality is quite extroverted yet I cant go out without the next few days being absolute hell for me. I haven’t even had the joy of listening to music. Everything has to be on loudspeaker with volume at 1.

It’s something I have to live with forever and it breaks me apart.

Soooo do we think it’s worth mentioning to my doctor tomorrow that I can’t hear of my right ear? This happens sometimes but usually not for very long. It’s been since Friday and usually it only lasts maybe five minutes. This ear SUCKS and is always having issues but… I don’t wanna see another specialist. I’m very tempted to keep this to myself and see if it resolves itself.

[a-blog-for-shitposts]

so here's something that just happened

i was writing a fanfics and it was at a really sad point so I was crying. And while I was doing this I was also changing my earrings which is definitely something that you should not be doing while writing a sad fanfic. And this is actually the

And this is actually the first time while writing a fanfic so that's a fun fact. So I was doing that and I finished writing the sad part and moved on to the comfort because I need happiness in my life. And at that time I also took off my earring in my left ear. (So it's been about a month since I got my ears re pierced because every single time that I pierce them the holes closed and this ear specifically has been a pain in the ass. It always gets infected and I'm partially deaf in this ear.) So I took the earring out and inspected it. And the needle part of the earring was covered in blood because of course it is.

so long story short I was depressed from my fanfic and my ear was bleeding. Such a beautiful Monday

[eclecticelectriceccentric]

I do this fucking DAILY.

Guys the craziest shit just happened!

So for those who don’t know I was deaf as a child, my ears had severe blockage because my ear couldn’t drain properly and wasn’t helped by my ableist parents denying it until it started hurting me which by then it was almost solidified. Eventually it ruptured my ear drum and I had to be taken to the ER (I was around 6 and for once even the cult was like “okay prayers and our medic guy can’t fix this holy shit”), surgery was done to put tubing in and I could finally hear, only to learn it was a temporary fix and that it would keep coming back for the rest of my life. So I invested in an ear camera a year ago to keep an eye on blockages or anything odd, kept it clean and helped me notice when my hearing was failing again.

Today in a insomnia driven mood I decided hey let’s check my ear (my right one has been giving out more the last 6 months) and yeah there was a small chunk, I get it and accidentally lift something. I keep peeling it and suddenly half of the shit in my right ear came out. I compared it to my better left ear and realized that is not how an ear canal is supposed to look. Apparently my right ear didn’t shed correctly and had basically had layers of skin and wax sitting on top for god knows how long and I just got it out and holy fuck the sound difference is crazy.

I’m still going to keep learning ASL bc it’s guaranteed I will eventually be permanently deaf, but I’m glad to know that time hasn’t come yet and I’ve got a few more years of hearing left :]

[manybrokenquills]

I got sick a bit a ago and due to the pressure(???) In my head(?????) I've (hopefully temporarily) lost most of my hearing, so when my ear popped the second I woke up this morning I jumped, went "HOLY SHIT I CAN HEAR" then sobbed when it went right back LMAO

So I have problems with my ears. Ever since I was a kid.

(Just fyi trigger warning for medical neglect)

Every pediatrician said there's nothing in my ears. My parents would get me checked once or twice with each new pediatrician (depended on where we lived) and after would say to stop being dramatic, there's nothing in your ears.

When I was 9, I had an ear infection. My ear was drained, I was put on antibiotics and was fine. When I was 16 and 17 (I had my birthday partway through), I had another ear infection. I think it was some bacteria from the pool that got stuck in my ear and caused an infection. Unfortunately, the day it started was our second last day on summer vacation when we were in Florida and at that point we lived in NJ. It hurt so bad to the point that when the tip of the corner of my quilt brushed against it my ear throbbed with pain, and it took three advil and three Tylenol to make a dent in pain suppression. When we got home we had three weeks to school and I was ignored in favor of prepping for the school year. "Stop being dramatic and take some otc pain meds, your ear will be fine." Nope. It trailed down to my jaw so that my mouth and ear hurt, and it took over a month for the pain to go away. (By that time I had my birthday and started senior year.)

Cue January 2023. I'm living in Canada atp, my parents are cut off, I have a new gp. All good so far. Except my ear pain starts getting worse and more consistent. Eventually I bring it up to my gp, and we think at first it's an ear infection again. Ear gets drained and re-examined. Ear canal is red, tympanic membrane is bulged a bit and we dunno why. For now the pain is mainly in my right ear.

As time goes on it's in both ears and painful as fuck. I get referred to an audiologist. Get diagnosed with misophonia and sensitive hearing, and told not to wear headphones or earplugs, but she doesn't know what's causing the pain and I need to see an ENT specialist. Fine. A referral is sent out and denied. Referral number two is sent out and ignored. Referral number three is sent out. I'm waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

Pain worsens. On some days I'm crying because it hurts so badly. Occasionally the pain trails down my jaw and throat and hurts there too. I go in for another check-up and get seen by the nurse this time. I tell her it hurts so badly sometimes that the pain makes it itchy. She checks my ears, there's nothing there. This is about Feb 2024.

Nurse confirms with my gp what to do. Gp gives me a prescription for ear psoriasis cream. I feel like screaming.

There's nothing in my ears, why are you giving me something to treat what's not there?

I know what ear psoriasis looks like, my sibling had it, I do not.

Were you even listening to me? I said the pain caused the itchiness, not that there was itchiness causing pain

I've been in pain since childhood, it's not magically going to be ear psoriasis at age 19. Jfc. And I thought you were helpful finally

I emailed my gp as politely as I could about my prescription. She said to try it anyway. 🤦 This lady is not listening!

I got rid of the prescription. I never filled it.

Sometime in April or May 2024 I get a phone call from an ENT office. I finally have an appointment. When is it? Mid December .

FUCK

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to finally have an appointment. But I've had this pain since I was 6. I'm going to be 21 by the time I have my appointment. 15 years I'll be waiting for a specialist's input. I feel like screaming.

And the worst part? The reason the first ENT specialist denied my referral was because I did some research and figured out what it might be (geniculate neuralgia). If I hadn't been denied I probably could have been seen already 😭

Why are medical professionals like this?

[egophiliac]

everyone out of the way, this is the only thing I'm going to be thinking about from now on.

(okay, there is one more thing)

[cryptidnamedhabit]

I just got my ears gauged and I keep accidentally bumping them against my shoulders and couch cushions, time to hope nothing gets majorly fucked up!

[lavender-eyed-lies]

Weird medical warning for the stresso depressos who cry a lot.

Don't wear headphones when you cry if you have sensitive ears.

Why? Because if you're laying in bed having a good sob to some sad music or because someone said something shitty to you and salty ass tears dribble down your cheeks into your headphone cushions that shit will get moist

Your middle ear will get moist

And your middle ear lining will desquamate or peel itself off the ear wall and make a goopy sticky sludgy mess or never peel fully and start clogging your ears up with skin, puss maybe, and a fair bit of pain.

Cry into the pillow or something I guess
