A woman who had been documenting her life with Ménière’s Disease corrected her symptoms with a cochlear implant. Her family caught her reaction to clearly hearing their voices for the first time‚ and they shared the heartwarming moment with the world. Holly Cain‚ 47‚ has been battling Ménière’s since she was 18. In a TikTok video‚ she explained that her condition is an autoimmune disease of the inner ear‚ and it causes “debilitating dizziness‚ nausea‚ tinnitus [ringing‚ buzzing‚ or roaring in the ear]‚ and‚ unfortunately‚ permanent hearing loss.” TikTok The symptoms often “took a toll” on Holly’s mental illness. So in July of 2023‚ she decided to take a leap of faith and undergo a cochlear implant. Holly shared that Ménière’s made her “miss out on so much‚” especially since becoming a mother. “I have missed out on conversations and laughs‚ and it is time to take control over this‚” she said. “… I can’t wait to go to the grocery store and see someone I know and not want to run away. I’m definitely self-isolating much more than ever.” She continued by admitting that the implant wouldn’t necessarily cure her dizziness or tinnitus‚ nonetheless‚ she was still “hopeful” that it would be life-changing. Holly finally got her cochlear implant in late 2023‚ and Happiest Official highlighted her daughter’s video on its TikTok account. @happiestofficial Her reaction is everything (@Holly Cain via @ARK Media) #cochlearimplant #hearingforthefirsttime #emotionalmoment ♬ original sound – Happiest The captions explain that the footage was taken as the cochlear implant was “being activated.” When her hearing instantly improves‚ she is visibly “shocked.” And it was actually somewhat unsettling at first because everything‚ even her own voice‚ sounded “alienish.” When her children spoke‚ Holly teared up. When her husband asked a question‚ the sound of his voice made her break down. She had to turn away from the camera to collect herself. “It’s crazy‚” she cried. Shortly after‚ everyone started crying with her. TikTok On her personal TikTok account‚ Holly shared that she’s still working through some issues and going through occupational therapy‚ but she’s happily moving through the steps.

For people struggling to pay back their student loans‚ debt forgiveness can be absolutely life-changing. This was the case for 65-year-old Marlon Fox‚ who has been making payments since 1988. He’d borrowed  $60‚000 so that he could complete his education at Palmer College of Chiropractic. Unfortunately‚ he had trouble paying off the loan after school‚ and the longer he remained in debt‚ the more damage his 8% interest rate incurred. Fast forward to the present‚ and Marlon Fox owed $119‚500 in student loans. He’d been trying to pay them off for 35 years. He worked tirelessly as a chiropractor‚ but circumstances beyond his control made it difficult to put his earnings toward his debt. First‚ he had a family to provide for. Then‚ he had to take care of his father after the elderly man had a stroke. This included picking up the tab for his dad’s needs as well as those of his own wife and kids. Facebook Marlon Fox had reached retirement age‚ and there was still no way he could pay off his debt. However‚ one day he received an email explaining that he now owed nothing due to student loan forgiveness. In fact‚ the government actually paid him back $56‚801‚ according to CNBC! This was thanks to the Biden administration’s loan forgiveness initiative‚ which included investigating and canceling debts for individuals who had been making payments for a couple of decades or more. As it turns out‚ Marlon had actually paid $200‚000 toward his loan over the years! After 35 years‚ he got $119‚500 in student debt forgiven. Then the government refunded him $56‚801 https://t.co/O8To7wGz24 In August‚ Marlon Fox learned that his more than $100‚000 student debt balance had been canceled. He’d carried the debt for 35 years.— Jim Pavia (@jimpavia) February 17‚ 2024 While student loan forgiveness has certainly lifted a huge weight off Marlon Fox’s shoulders‚ his financial troubles are far from over. He told CNBC that retirement is most likely not in the cards for him. “I’ll probably always work‚” he said. However‚ at least now he’s able to take a vacation for once. Marlon and his wife are heading to Maui for a week‚ where they’ll soak up the sun along with a newfound sense of freedom following his student loan forgiveness.
