ending trip because of medical problems
hi,
I am riding from Belgium to Senegal but ended up in Dakhla because of medical problems.
I have problems with my ears, it is too noise to ride further. meanwhile, I got a permanently ringing sound known as Tinnitus.
I refuse to ride on before I make it worse.
I saw a few doctors, and got confirmed I have hearing loss. (which highly probably causes the Tinnitus). I have an inflamation wherefore I take antibiotics for the next days. this inflamation also can cause the ringing. I tried several wind screens, helmets and earplugs. But I am still feeling like I am destructing my ears when I ride.
the biggest problem is I know nothing. can it be cured or not? is there a way I can ride a motorcycle again without damaging my ears more? ...
what to do? I don't know.
Go home and go for further research back in Belgium.
but then - sell the bike/store the bike?
Any tips/hints/...are welcome.
grtz from a very dissapointed traveller.
Ratte
