I’m just a typical 60 year old, as far as vision and hearing go.

My eye doctor said since I have hiv he said I should have an eye check once a year I guess having hiv affects your eyes my though but my hearing is o.k. so far I'm starting too get a cataract in one of my eyes I'm assuming g that's because I have hiv I don't know though go to him this year sometime

I have hearing issues. But in my case, I’m not sure if the problem is HIV or AGE.😐

@A myHIVteam Member, I've had tinnitus ever since I can remember as a kid. It's been constant ringing 24/7/365 for 52 years. It's normal to me since I've lived with it for all my life. I think I was about 10 when I found out it wasn't normal. I always thought it had to do with something about the Earth spinning on it's axis. Some days the ringing is REALLY LOUD.

I spent last year trialling contact lenses as my sight is getting worse, I’ve just had some gas permeable lenses made for me as I ran out of options with soft lenses, but they’re so uncomfortable so may not be for me. As for my hearing, I’m having to put subtitles on more than I used to (and I hate to say it’s worse with foreign accents), but I guess this is due to age and not the virus.
