I AM COMPLETELY DEAF
Pamela DeNeuve
Because THRIVING in law isn’t just about long hours—it’s about strategic focus, strong well-being, and celebrating each milestone
I am not joking. I am completely deaf in my right ear. I also have a loud ringing that is called tinnitus in that ear 24/7. I had to learn how to walk and keep my balance all over again. This situation was caused by enduring an extremely overstressed life.
What Happened
I was in my mid-30s, but I was under extreme stress. Here is what was going on:
Stress Took A Toll On My Body
One day, when I came home from work, everything suddenly got super loud, and then it went totally quiet.?
I fell down and couldn't stand up. I couldn't hold my head erect. I had to go to the UCLA hospital, and they said I had something called Sudden Acute Deafness.?
It meant the nerves in my ear died, and I couldn't hear anymore. It was a tough time.
I also lost my balance because of my ear problem with no inner ear. I had no balance and couldn't walk without wobbling like I was drunk.?
It took months when I was unable to function or work, but eventually, I got better at balancing, and my body adjusted to having only one working ear.?
Today, most people don't know I'm deaf unless they stand on my right side.
Something Amazing Happened!
It gets really interesting here, but something amazing happened. When you lose one sense, your other senses get stronger.?
For me, I developed a sort of "sixth sense." I became good at sensing how people felt and listening to them when they were hurting.
I turned this special gift into a career. In 1992, I opened a coaching business; to my surprise, 60% - 70% of my clients were lawyers
?I helped lawyers manage their stress and face tough times.?
I've helped lots of lawyers and professionals in incredible ways.?
Losing My Hearing Gave Me the Gift of Helping Others
My gift turned my so-called problem into something extraordinary. I'm thankful for my one good ear and the ability I gained to help others when I lost my hearing.
