Ubanz:
This is really very unfortunate.
Adverse effects of a particular drug administered to you for typhoid.
Thank God it's not total deafness.
Try an ENT specialist hospital , there's one in Kaduna.
Have you tried hearing aids?

I have tried hearing aid but the result was devastating. I'm not fit for it.
I heard about the kaduna hospital and will try and reach them. The problem is i don't have an android to check up all this like i should but i'm trying my best.

kowalsky:
How much did the doc say the foreign surgery will cost?

They did not mention a price but said it will be a process from tests to surgery which will cost around 1.5million as of 2017. I did not care to ask more about the processes cuz that was clearly beyond me

Mercury12:
Bro I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Pls don't give up.
What I can say about your situation is that is it a mental problem.

First thing first. If you not getting the right amount of sleep it will fvck a human brain up. Sleep is as important as food.
I can tell that you hear strange voices. I like to ask that apart from the insomnia situation do you feel restless too? Do you like to move around always even at off hours? Let me know

No. I don't like moving around cuz i hate noise. And feeling restless is an understatement

Krppkyy:
How do you access nairaland, then?

I'm using a small tecno phone.

LordReed:
Did anyone of them ask you to do an MRI?

No. I don't even know the meaning of that

miblolo:
Its called Cochlear implant and is also done in Nigeria. Contact Necc kaduna for more information

God bless you for this info

You learned signing within six years? That's fantastic. You're a perfect candidate for CI.

With the help of a book(thejoy of signing) and some deaf guys, i learnt and mastered sign language in less than 6months

I mastered sign language in six months.
Sign language is very easy especially if you are among deaf people

Omon605:
I really feel for you. Is very difficult for anybody to understand your pains. I'm also a victim. I have been managing the condition for over 13 years. I got sick of typhoid and malaria and I was treated with some kind of drugs without due evaluation and that's what result to my right ear pairing. I learned to manage the situation after alot of frustrations. I believe I have visited some of the best ENT specialist in this country all to no avail. But I decided to take it upon myself and manage the situation. Mine is a my right ear but the discomfort has alot of ripple effects on my entire body system, I have to learn how to walk normal again, talk proper (not too loud or low) and adjust myself to listening. I was offered at irrua specialist hospital and opportunity to have the right ear destroy so that the noise will stop but I refuse, because I believe one day I will certainly get a solution for it. For now I hardly remember the condition because so many activities have occupied my mind. One thing I master first, is if I I'm aware you will talk to me, I focus on your mouth so that I can easily pick the word from your mouth rather than relying on my ear to do it. My eyes now have dual functioning (hearing and sighting). You are not alone brother. Please leave alcohol and try to develop yourself and you will certainly overcome it.

Sorry brother.

My own is getting to 8years now, I always try to learn how to leave with it but my condition is a bit different. My own tinnitus I learnt today is going concurrently with hyperacusis. Is that hyperacusis that is my major worry. I can handle the tinnitus but this one is beyond me

ibinaboonline:
It won't help. HAs are just sophisticated amplifiers.

There was a time I wear one for less than an hour and nearly went mad. I don't want to reply those suggesting hearing aids cos they don't know what is happening inside my head. If I perceive noise for just one minute, it will stay in my head for days. This I hate sound and that is one of the reasons I move to the village

centpado:
@op pls don’t remove your auditory nerves, hang on help is on the way, God would come through for you hopefully….. I have some little funds for your upkeep, maybe later email me your account details

Thank you

Divinemercyy:
I also suffer from Tinnitus but the difference is that mine is on only my right ear...when I am in a very quiet room my right ear keeps producing some sounds...that sometimes makes it hard for me to listen or hear an outside noise properly. This one ear deafness and strange sounds from d ear only happens when I am in a very quiet place or room. It’s been months i started experiencing it and it doesn’t seem like it will stop. I browsed the internet and I found no remedy to it..in fact the internet said it will later stop on it’s own.

The noise Na only u wey carry the ear dey hear and feel am...nobody can hear d annoying sound coming from that ear. It all started one evening in my room last year October till now the noise hasn’t stopped. I just pray it doesn’t become something too serious as that of OPs own. I hear very well with both ears outside but when in a very quiet room the sound starts on my right ear making hearing on that ear difficult. Hmmm

Pls be careful with the other ear and follow up with the problem. I can't say more than this

Saladdin:
@Kpakpakpa and others, help is on the way, ensure to carefully read my entire writeup.

Please and please don't remove that Auditory nerves o. Regardless of the age of your tinnitus, you can still relieve the symptoms from 10-100%. Yes, all and you'll have a blissful night sleep. Mercy Johnson also made a great mistake by removing her Thyroid gland. Anything and everything on this planet can be CURED, except death. Yes! I will always stand by that!

Don't let the some of the failings of modern medicine condemn you to a life of unwanted noise.

If your tinnitus is subjective (i.e caused by noise, ear infection, drugs, or other unknown cause etc) congrats you're on your way to a swift healing.

But if it's objective that is, the Doctor or anyone else can ear it, then you may want to check for heart conditions and other issues.

Let me repeat, TINNITUS, can be CURED 100%, I'm a living testimony and others who've tried the method below.

First off, you should up your Zinc intake from both natural and pills. For naturals, eat beef liver (one of the best superfood on the planet!), Fishes etc. For supplements, go to a big pharmacy and ask for Zinc (50-100mg). Then take it everyday.

You know why you should take Zinc?
The ear is one of the organs with the largest concentration of Zinc in the body. Depletion of Zinc causes tinnitus, and increasing it's intake helps relieve tinnitus resulting from other means including Zinc depletion.

Also, excess Zinc would be safely disposed off by the body. This should be combined with the second method.

The second method will blow your mind off, and it's the most effective!
The answer is good, old Onion or it's cousin garlic. These two are the most potent remedy we know to fight Tinnitus and ear infections to the core.

Yes, #100 worth of onion or garlic maybe all it takes to free you from this condition forever. Don't let anyone consign you to a life of misery because they believe it's incurable.

Don't be scared. You can use this in three ways, however, before use, ask someone to check your ear drums with a flashlight, if it's not perforated then continue;

1. Remove the old back, cut the onion, grate it, and squeeze the juice. Then with a teaspoon, bend and expose the affect ear upwards and put two drops in it, and cover it with cotton wool to retain the juice inside. It might feel cold, but your body will adjust to it. Change every 6-8 hours. Though it's best done in the night.

2. Cut the onion in ring shapes,take one ring and insert into the ear, with the other part of the ring sticking out, then go to sleep.

3. Put the onion in a hot, dry pot, and roast for 2 mins. Thereafter, you remove from the fire. Onion gets heated easily, so you may want to use a very clean cloth. Cut in half, and wrap with a cloth. Then take it close to the affected ear and let the steam penetrate the ear.

Use it consistently,and your Tinnitus will go away in no time.

If you prefer garlic, I'll give you it's formula too.

For everyone suffering from Tinnitus, start the aforementioned process ASAP, and get total relief from Tinnitus. Tried and tested by me and others.

How did I miss this mention?
I will try this ASAP

Eriokanmi:
Has any of those doctors you visited recommended a hearing aid? A former governor in the middle belt once had a worst condition, one of his children too. Today, he can hear well. He still wears it around.

That should be Tanko of nassarawa state. I heard about his condition too but also hear how he spent billions to be normal again.

ahmedaturboy:
I can feel your pain.. I'm a victim of this stubborn illness...but mine wasn't worse like this...i left my job and move to Abuja in search of cure but to no avail...the embarrassment and advantage of this ailment my colleague and boss used against me was unbearable....At 31yrs of my life, i will wake up in the night and weep over this; how else are my going to tackle this virus

Mine started since 2010..

I'm currently receiving medications at Garlic hospital Abuja..just like you said betahistine, nicotinic acid and gigcko Biloba...

The advice from one of the best ENT specialists is; my friend learn how to leave with it..it doesn't have precise drug for cure.He said if I'm lucky, then, it will go by itself..

I did my online research and found out that truely it has no perfect drug for cure but trial by error..

I pray God heal us from this..

Sorry brother.
Can we link up outside nairaland? Let's be licking our wonds and rubbing mind together. It's tough for us but many will not understand

masterpiecer:

DeepSight:

GoodIsGod:
Traveling out of Naija is what I think is best medically. So if your family can afford it travel out for and operation.
Don't rule out spiritual solution too. I am not saying you should start visiting prophets and churches o. 99% are fake so be careful.
If you are a child of God, as you continue searching for medical solution keep excercising your faith who knows.

Me and my family don't have such strength to travel . We are poor

Draslo:
Can a hearing aid help you?

I don't think so

eepeepook:
Story enter six posts. I’m out.

I'm using a java phone and will not be able to make a long post

DeepSight:
Please email me

I'm using a small phone and can't access my mail on it. Why not say it here my brother? or Should i drop my phone number so that you can reach me(text message only

GodIsGreat001:
Hello if you don’t mind can I invite you to the Lord’s Chosen Charistmatic Church this Sunday or whenever you have time? Cases worst than yours are cured here. Come and taste the power of God brother. I wish you all the best

I don't mind at all. i'm always free and open to such but i don't have money for offering. what is your location?

Wealthoptulent:
N dem No treat you measles with syringe medication?

I don't understand. Are you saying the problem is associated with measles?

kwasoly:
Do you stay in Abuja?

NO

Ladymillion:
Why not consult an ENT Doctor?

Have consulted more than 3 already but there is no solution to the problem so far

[quote author=GboyegaD post=122782743][/quote]Thank you so much for taking time to research and give me those links my brother.
I will take my time and read everything and if possible take some necessary steps.
God bless you

GboyegaD:
I don't but I pray I have some time to spare at work to search for one or two.

Thank you brother, i will also be checking it out myself too.

GboyegaD:
Bose cancelation headsets are not too expensive though. It might be able to save you off this current trauma while you work out the next permanent solution.

I'm not sure a headset will be of help because i hate anything that has to do with sound. But you can Give me an estimate about the headset pls, let me see what i can do

GboyegaD:
I have heard stories of people approaching charities that are interested in the area of their challenges and get help through them. I will suggest you find charities interested in ENT challenges in your spare time, they may be able to sponsor your treatment.

I can't thank you less.
My last question brother, did you you know or have knowledge about such a charity organisation? It seems this problem is above me to solve on my own.

ChybuzzDD:
Cutting/removing the nerve(Neurectomy) is not that simple. The Auditory nerve, in combination with the Vestibular nerve(that maintains balance/equilibrium) makes up the 8th cranial nerve which runs just beneath the brain within the cranial cavity and as well as within the cranial bone.

Surgical operations to have access to and section it is a major one and will be expensive too.
The money could be better used to procure a good hearing device or saved for a cochlear implant.
Again, damage to the nerve would make any future implant use impossible.
I doubt if any doctor would encourage that.

You have completely down my spirit with this post. What you are suggesting is beyond me, i can't boast of 5k in my account presently but would have raise something like 50k or slightly above for any surgery that can make my head silent.
The noise in my head is so loud now that i'm beginning to lose my sanity. It shall not be well with those guys that torture me

dominique:
So you want to go completely deaf?

I'm deaf already. I just want it quiet. What is the need of unwanted noise inside my head when i can not hear?

Foodqueen:
How do you communicate?

Av u learn sign language

I can talk very well and clearly but mostly read lips of the speaker to understand what the person is saying. i can communicate in sign language too.
