Fundraiser description
I started to search for the reason for my bad health condition two years ago. When I developed a left-sided hearing loss combined with tinnitus, I was scared.
The doctors said that there was nothing to be worried about. Unfortunately, my symptoms were getting worse. I developed strong headaches, I hear unstoppable squeaking, humming, and whistling sounds. Last summer my balance function worsened. I practically stayed indoors the whole time. I am constantly scared that when I go out, I will fall on the pavement and no one will help me…
I tried everything, from acupuncture to orthodontic therapy and manual physical therapy. The doctors were hopeless. However, I found the solution to my problems in Germany, where I heard the diagnosis and found out about the treatment possibilities. However, it is beyond my budget.
If I do not have the Vestibular Schwannoma removed, I will develop Meniere's disease, which is incurable and practically takes away one’s independence. Its main symptoms are episodes of vomiting, balance disorders and vertigo. After each attack, my hearing will worsen, until I become completely deaf. Since I’ve been deeply engaged in music for as long as I can remember, and it helped me survive the hardest moments of my life, I am begging you to renew my hope to bring back my independence and regain a life full of sounds…
