Pretty sure my life is halfway over
a year ago
Today is my 46th birthday. And with it comes sore knees, a hearing disorder, and financial strain. I'm a little sad because I haven't gotten a single birthday card in the mail as of yet. Though I can forgive my sister for this, because my family has always had a bad habit of being late sending birthday cards. For the record, my sister is the ONLY family I have left. 
(my roommate) and I have become like brothers since he moved in with me. I love him as I would an actual brother because he has always been kind to me and I to him. We click more than most and are always supportive of each other when needed. We've occasionally had our "disagreements", but nothing we haven't smoothed out not long after.
Right now, my life has fallen a little out of focus somewhat. I'm looking for a different job with higher pay because my current job salary isn't keeping up well enough to pay all the bills. I'm slowly sliding deeper into debt as a result, and while I wish I didn't have to leave such a low(ish) stress job, I have no choice. I have an interview lined up for this Friday, so I'll see how that goes.
On a positive note, I've bought some neat new Loops earplugs that have three different decibel reduction settings. As soon as I tried these on and wore them to work, they made a huge difference in turning down the volume on the world around me, as someone suffering from hyperacusis. Thanks to Mimic for making me aware of these. Hopefully, with the ability to prevent future noice accidents, maybe my hyperacusis will go down along with my noise sensitivity. Here's hoping.
Anyway, that's really it for now. If anyone wants to reach out to me via note, I'm happy to engage! ^^

I hope you get better soon!
out my sinuses with a neti pot and saline solution, and my ears with warm water and a rubber syringe bulb. The tinnitus went away. What worked for me might help ease your hyperacusis, but that’s just a guess on my part. Anyway, I wanted to suggest it. Again- Happy B’day and many of ‘em to you.
That being said, these were one of my best investments for myself and I’ll continue to rely on these to let me interact with the world without worrying about sound-related pain. :)
