[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is quite common for people to feel angry in the face of this kind of illness and with the frustration of things not being found and explained early. It's a normal response. Please don't beat the OP up for that. She is also in her 30s when honestly none of us expect to be dealing with this kind of thing. [/quote]

I think that you’re missing the point that she doesn’t have an illness and nothing was missed. She has age-related hearing loss and is attaching a lot of anxiety and accusations to an essentially benign diagnosis.[/quote]

Mid-30s is not normal for age related hearing loss. It just isn't.[/quote]

It might not be “normal” but I don’t think it’s that rare.  Mine started at age 17.  It came and went.  It got worse in my 20s so I went to ENT.  They did a hearing test and I did have hearing loss.  Then in my 30s I had a couple of years of extremely loud tinnitus that affected my day to day life.  Thankfully it calmed down.  I use loud fans to mask it for sleep and have a fan in every room.

It’s not an illness but it really sucks. My most hated noise is when birds chirp in my ears. Drives me crazy.  [/quote]

There’s always a reason.

A broken bone in the ear
Attending loud concerts
Circulation issue
Tumor
Vitamin deficiency 
MS
Other autoimmune disorder
Virus 
TMJ

So many possibilities. The just say they don’t know because they can’t find the answer and they label it idiopathic or call it Meniere’s Disease. [/quote]
