You're having such a time! Who could blame you for feeling depressed?
But really; we aren't going to help you with the pills thing. C'mon.
Someone who can reach out the way you just did...would we say; well,
try 12, maybe 15...? No not going there. Let's back up a bit.
When did your hearing loss begin?
What medications are you taking?
Who have you talked to about this?
