I hear all

Gemma was just 14 when she told him and his mother told the secret. She had the ability to hear things that others could not. His mother, who has not taken seriously its "superpower" in the beginning, later realized she was not kidding. Except it was not a superpower at all. It was his curse.

The sound

His mother asked Gemma to describe what these voices seem, what does it mean exactly? What is the sound she hears constantly? And it was at that moment when Gemma really thought about it. What are these sounds? Gemma was stunned. She did not know how to describe it.

Normal

When Gemma was a child, she thought it was normal. She thought everyone could hear things she could. But when she grew up, she realized that it was just her. And she could not describe what it looks like, because there is no such this could look like remote distance.

born with

His mother was devastated to discover that Gemma fought since birth. But she mustered the courage to join now. Gemma has never known what silence sounds like. She always hear something, anything, more than his surroundings, more than what was said.

Looking for help

Gemma had never sought help before the moment she talked to her mother about it. And her mother was not going to let her daughter suffer alone. She took him to all county specialists. But at his consternation, none of them could help Gemma.

Ordinances

When Gemma would say to the doctors she can hear things that are not there, they would suggest a psychological consultation. But Gemma did not blame them. For her "I can hear my eyeballs move in my head" sounds so crazy. Some doctors thought it was a case of blocked ears, they simply prescribed from Gemma with different medicines, which ends up doing nothing for her.

Learn to live

After meeting almost all ETL specialists in Fife County, Gemma soon concluded that it will have to learn to live like this only. She has done it for so many years now, she will also do it for the rest of her life.

Change of priorities

Unlike Gemma, her mother was not acceptable to give up and let her live like this for the rest of her life. She tried to follow hope for her mother's love. But early enough, Gemma's priorities have changed for good. Maternity does this to a woman. His time and attention were occupied by his son and she did not complain.

Fear

Gemma's life turned around his son and between that and the coffee, his life really took care. But at the back of his mind, there was a constant fear of strong noises. Even when she played with her son, she could never handle more than two toys at the same time. But she never spoke to anyone.

A slow day

Gemma was brought back to the present day at the sound of guests walking through the front door, the little jingling bell like the door open and closed. It was a family of three, a couple and their little boy. She gave them a moment to settle before reaching their table to take control.

Coffee cup

Once the family is over with breakfast, Gemma returned to his table to clean. She reached a cup of coffee when she accidentally fell on the floor. Even before hitting the ground, Gemma knew what came. The Smash sent a wave of vertigo in his head making him lose his balance and falling with the rest of the utensils.

Excusing

A Waitress company ran to its rescue and helped it take a seat. She quickly went to clean everything. Once Gemma had regained his balance, she went to the family and apologized. "Strong sounds and I do not work well together," she says with a nervous laugh. The lady gave her a look that Gemma could not understand.

Privately talking

The lady got up and asked if she could talk with her privately. Gemma was so certain that she wanted to see the manager and make her shoot. Nevertheless, she drove the lady to a nearby empty table. Once sitting, she asked Gemma noises. Gemma was surprised by his question.

Assist

Gemma looked at her with a virgin face. The lady reached her handbag and shot a business card. She passed her to Gemma with a warm smile. Gemma examined the details on the map. It was the details of an ETL specialist. "Just give that a try," said the lady. Gemma wanted to tell her that she has already been on this road. But for some reason, she did not do.

Weighting

That night, Gemma threw and turned to bed for hours. She had not thought to see another specialist for years. She did not think she will see him after all. What purpose? They call it either crazy or they prescribe his medications that make it sleeping. But part of her wondered if she should go?

Exhausted

There is no doubt that she is beyond exhaustion at this stage of her life. To constantly be afraid of the sounds and not to be able to play with his child. She did not even have the luxury of finding peace at night when the rest of the world was asleep. That's right, she does not know what silence is. Gemma decided to visit the specialist once, if not for her, for her child. She had to try one last time.

Wait

Gemma was sitting in the waiting room. She did not come with expectations. But she was nervous despite everything. She knew the result but she had to hear it again. The waiting room was almost empty now, which meant it was his turn. As she predicts, her name was next. She gathered her business, took a deep breath and walked inside the doctor's room.

Specialist

Gemma tried to explain his "situation" to the specialist. She was afraid of what he was going to say but his surprise he seemed to follow his trail of thoughts. For the first time, Gemma felt like she was not amused. She felt heard and understood. She did not stop telling the doctor, on how it was all she had ever known.

Understand the condition

The doctor told him that he is certain of his diagnosis but only needs a slight confirmation in the form of test reports. He took Gemma for a quick test and less than half an hour, he had his reports in his hand. The doctor seemed delighted because the reports confirmed his diagnosis.

The diagnosis

According to reports, Gemma had a health problem called "bilateral dehiscence of semicircular superior channel". Gemma did not understand what it meant that this news was like music to his ears. Because a diagnosis means that there is also a curative treatment. She started to see hope again.

Explanation

The doctor explained that Gemma could hear the blood flow through his veins and his heart pump, and was sensitive to strong noises because his ear channels were missing part of the time bone. It means she can know that everything happens in her body. It sounds dangerous because it's. Gemma came to know she is a medical miracle of walking.

Marvel Medical

This condition affects only 1-2% of the population and does not happen to people under 40 years old. But with Gemma, this condition had been present since birth. This condition is difficult to diagnose because the symptoms vary from person to person. Some people tend to become real patients. And Gemma emitted a child despite the difficulty that was a miracle in itself.

Psychotic episodes

These people spend years in therapy even before realizing that the problem is not in the head. As a result, they lose their ability to function normally and live their lives in a miserable state. Some of them even hear constant vibrations of their voices. And because of this reason, the hearing of the lower frequencies was a challenge for them.

Processing

The doctor has informed Gemma that there is a treatment that can help him. However, it is a surgical process and it comes with its set of risks. In addition, the surgery can be made an ear at a time, which means that Gemma will be bed and painful, twice. And the recovery procedure will be as tedious and painful too.

Ease

Despite the risks and duration of the procedure, Gemma knew exactly what she wanted to do. If it is possible that this operation can help it, it is willing to take all the risks associated with it. She spent all that while thinking that it will never leave and now finally, there is real hope. She can not hesitate now.

Surgery

The surgery took about 6 hours. The procedure was more complicated than the usual cases since Gemma had this disease since birth. The part where the temporal bone was supposed to be, had a gap in the auditory canal. During the surgery, this gap was bridged preventing gem from hearing anything to go inside his body.

Silence

The eredred heart monitor in the room otherwise calm. Gemma's eyes open slowly, facing the white ceiling in a weakly enlightened room. It took it a second to realize that the left side of his ear could not hear anything by the constant beep of the monitor. Silence. Is what silence feels like?

Happy

His happiness did not know any limit. So far, at this moment, she felt something she never felt before. It was peaceful and calm, granted through an ear only. But go for second surgery did not seem to be such a task. She could not wait to feel complete silence like.

Second surgery

Once Gemma had more or less recovered from the first operation, she was ready for the second. The recovery period was difficult without a doubt. She was in bed all the vertiginous weather and suffering from pain. But the reward was worth it. So there was no hesitation for the second surgery.

Recovery

Once the second surgery operation, Gemma was on rest for weeks. If the recovery period of the first surgery was serious, so pass through that for the second time even more difficult. Most of his days have been busy fighting severe headaches, nausea, dizziness. She even lost her appetite for a moment. But Gemma has never complained once, because she knew from this point, she will live a normal life.

A normal life

From months later, when Gemma had fully recovered from the two surgeries, she was blessed to live a normal life. There were no sound in his head, she heard what was said, nothing more and nothing less. She could now play with her son without facing "episodes". Life was good.

Even destiny

Some of the people suffering from the same condition as Gemma, do not have the same destiny as him. They never find silence or happiness. And if months of therapy in a psychist neighborhood did not make them crazy, hearing these sounds constantly without any explanation would surely do it.

Strengthen awareness

Most people do not know that a cure for this affection exists. In fact, some of them are not even aware that this is a medical condition and can be treated with surgery. They live in the illusion that it is not real. Therefore, instead of looking for help, they ignore it or simply learn to live with it despite the difficulties, as Gemma had been doing for 32 years.

Ask for help

People like Gemma give an example of what you can achieve when you do not abandon. By surrounding the good type of people will help keep your morale. It is always encouraged to ask for help. When you can not understand what's wrong, look for answers and let others help you. Do not suffer alone.
