Collection of disability? My fieance has a rare disability called hyperacusis. It affects her hearing, it is the opposite of the deaf. Women vote the disturbing and cannot really go anywhere as well or if there is a lot of women because of this disability. For this reason, it cannot get a job, make no mistake, he had a past, but whenever he had to leave because of the womans voice. We soon moved in together and he wants to start collecting disability because there is no income. How would he go around to do? How long does it take for him to start getting this? Any help would be grateful for this because the online search its so hard to try to find how.
I have a friend with narcolepsy who claimed a disability, and his lawyer told him he could take 5 years or more ....
18 months to 2 years if he gets it all. I would be shocked if he gets it the first try with this condition. There are many jobs he could do. Call Social Security and establish an appointment. they call you on the phone and do the first interview.
Depending on what state you live in state laws on the collection disabilities. Check with your local department. services to the person.
There are many jobs he can do at home. Has he tried everything?
Has he been to a hearing specialist?
In vestibular hyperacusis, damage to nerve cells in the balance system is suspected, may be head injury, metabolic disturbances due to the ingestion of chemicals (eg, drugs or anesthesia ), or changes in the circulatory system due to heart disease or artery blockages. In addition, autoimmune disease, which can be triggered by many different causes, can affect the organ of balance.
Screening and treatment: Although special audiological tests can reveal the presence and severity of cochlear hyperacusis, and help define the treatment, diagnosis and treatment of vestibular hyperacusis is less defined. When the vestibular hyperacusis is recognized, treatment protocols vary widely and have included a low-salt diet combined with anti-nausea and the introduction of anti-inflammatories directly into the cochlea / vestibular system using catheters.
