Balance issues and hearing loss

I have fallen several times in the last three years the last time breaking my wrist. I am still doing physical therapy for the wrist and also have a PT for my balance issues. I have to lower my expectations because I was hoping for a cure with the vestibular exercises. They help some and at least I feel like I am being proactive in my treatment. Lately I have had other health issues and find myself very discouraged. Too sick to do the balance exercises for a week and I really noticed a difference. You have to do these every day and for the rest of your life. I read the postings and am impressed with how positive everyone seems to be. There are too many days when I am not positive at all, just tired. Is anyone else dealing with depression over the changes in their life?

I too deal with depression because of the profound hearing loss. Sometimes, in this hearing world, it is so hard to communicate effectively with the hearing community. There is an extreme lack of compassion for us, and an expectation of understanding them. In the general public there is a look like you are crazy if you don't understand or just don't hear them. More education needs to be done for us.
