Tenho 25 anos e sou médica recém formada. Recentemente fui diagnosticada com surdez progressiva. Sem tratamento para momento e testando aparelhos auditivos.
Sinto vergonha da minha condição pois preciso constantemente pedir para pessoas repetir o que elas disseram.
Sempre fui uma pessoa alto atrás e bem humorada. Saber que tenho uma doença que não tem cura está me destruindo
I am 25 years old and was recently diagnosed with otosclerosis. I had never noticed hearing loss until a few months ago when I was talking to colleagues and they said I wasn't hearing them. I finally decided to see an otolaryngologist; I went to three doctors, all with the same diagnosis. My audiometry results are below. I am about to graduate from medical school, and the diagnosis has taken the ground from under my feet and taken the shine off everything. Not being able to hear people is cruel. I feel lost and extremely confused because the information I see about the disease varies greatly. One doctor recommended surgery, but two others said I might not benefit from it. I already have moderate mixed hearing loss. I have been trying hearing aids for a few days, and adaptation has been extremely difficult. I feel lost and like I've lost a part of myself.
