My grandmother turns 92 this year and is still in a good state. Ring Ease Review Though she has maintained her good health, she started losing her hearing at an earlier stage of her life. As a diligent businesswoman, she was a constant presence in our sawmilling business and this has exposed her to loud machines noises, some shouting and a lot of sawmilling.
The third generation of our family has been detached from the business; most of the grandchildren have ventured into a new business in couture, and have become professionals in the different industries, including medicine. I became an investments banker and have not been exposed to very loud noises, except for some sporadic irate clients screaming through my receiver. But recently, I started hearing low buzzing in my left ear, like a fly that unceasingly buzzes near my ear. Other times, it seems like a horrendous fleet of flies are with me in my room, taking part of my conversations about investments, treasury bonds and the like.
One day, I woke up with a loud shrilling inside my head, like a saw mill cutting one of those gigantic logs I saw in my childhood. I felt my head throb with pain, close to almost bursting and breaking up. I was sure I was losing it. When I visited my doctor, I learned that all I was losing was my left ear. I have tinnitus.
