Thank you for asking. It has been a process and it’s ongoing, some four years later. I went from hearing relatively well with a tinge of tinnitus, to hearing nothing in my left hear, overwhelmingly loud tinnitus and that directional confusion - having no idea where a sound was coming from as I only heard out of the one ear. I grieved the loss of normal hearing, and mostly, the loss of absolute silence in my head. I’ll never “hear” silence again.
