Hi Abishag, ((( Smiles )))

Thank You so much.. That was very nice of you...
Sorry it took so long to get back to you as I've been mostly on the the other board but plan
to post here more eventually.. Did you see Annies mailbox yesterday..
On reply to " need a good laugh" about the husband that won't let his wife watch TV..
And we know how that can be as TV at one time for me was about the worst..
Well not the worst but.. pretty bad.. but I wish you were better like me..
I'm not cured cured...
But like cured and we know that not everybody gets as much improvement like I have had
and the stats are that in some rare cases, retraining can bring one back nearly 100 % and on the network...
we have both been on found 91 % of patients..
who completed the retraining that the average improvement was 15-75%...
I haven't had my LDL's checked since long ago when they were 50 51db before my condition
got super worse.. But I believe I'm in the high 90's maybe 99 percent improved from the worst of hyperacusis..
I didn't get my normal loudness tolerances back..
I've tested this out and my ears aren't the exact same as before T and H..
But thats a success story because any improvement is success and I've been lucky as
for me.. I've come so far..
But neurologically related and for you brain aneurysm surgery..
I'm not sure how that goes in the rates or stats of getting well/improved..
On Marsha's site..

http://www.hyperacusis.org/wst_page4.html


She talks about head injury and hyperacusis and you've probably seen that allready..
But it's interesting how she said hyperacusis may also be related to autoimmune disorders and other inflammatory conditions..
And we know neurological condition's can cause hyperacusis...

As well as medications and other things that could cause an inflammatory condition as well...

And yes.. That is real nice of Russ that he added hyperacusis to the board..
And plus sorry Abishag.. It's kind of my fault your post got deleted...
I posted in the wrong section as that was forum news and I thought it was the newly
created hyperacusis site.. And then when I finally realized my mistake.. Well actually ...
A nice person we both know kind of brought it to my attention and then I realized what
that section was for as we don't have a news forum on the other board..
And so in changeing things around.. I realized I had duplicate threads here..
And I wanted one deleted well.. It was my fault.. But I saved your post so it wasen't lost..
But besides likeing Russ's site and besides him creating a hyperacusis forum here which is a bonus plus..
There is one other reason why I was attracted to this board..
It's because there is something I'm planning on doing and here they seem to relate to that..

And with my hyperacusis expirence it will be real hard to do...
But it seems like I could get some support here on how too proceed with doing it..
In that aspect of know how..
And, if I happen to get H again as I allready have a vunerability it seems that lead me to H
in the first place.... Well..
This is a hyperacusis forum ....
And a hyperacusis forum is where I need to be...
A mercury hyperacusis forum..
As people do what I'm going to do on the other board as well...So...
It will help me to be able to be more brave and go forward with it..
Like I plan on doing anyway no matter what..
But I'm not totally sure what the outcome will be..
But my tolerances are real good and my ears are real strong..
And it may come out just fine anyway..
And my husband had all his redone..
Well all except one...
But I do need to get it done and here I think they would understand when it comes to that..
And why I want to do it..
Besides needing to do certain things anyway..
But get it all done...
I want to do just that....
Hyperacusis and tinnitus is the only thing that has held me back..
But most people get it done and come out just fine with it..

Take Care My Friend and Thanks..
Lynn ((((( HUGS To You )))))
