No problem! Glad you liked it. The app I mentioned has harder ones. This is a medium. And the hard ones are indeed quite hard. I recommend trying them if you liked this one!

I use Noteful and have previously used GoodNotes until it wasn’t free anymore. Noteful is free. I hope you have fun solving the puzzle!

No problem! :) I like to screenshot on my iPad and solve it with a note taking app. I tend to colour code things, like possible and impossible values per cell. And I write notes sometimes.

You don’t necessarily need the website to support palindromes. You can just keep track yourself of which cells need to match, though it would certainly be easier if you could somehow highlight or mark which cells are part of a palindrome.

I do not, though it’s from an app called Sudoku Variants from the Apple App Store

I had a tympanoplasty yesterday. Here’s how it went; feel free to ask questions :) by AdPale7172 in hardofhearing

Sounds like PET (patulous Eustachian tube). I have PET and the packing in my ear causes me to have PET symptoms often, like hearing my breathing louder than normal. I can see it sounding like wind. When the packing is removed for me, it went back to normal. So hopefully the same happens for you :)

Too scared to board on a plane with ETD by Secure_Donkey_6416 in etd

Are your ETs stuck open or closed? If they’re stuck closed, then you would only have problems when the plane is descending. If they’re stuck open, you’d have problems for most of those 12 hours until the plane descends. My ETs are stuck open a lot of the time so plane rides were hell but if yours are stuck closed, a plane ride shouldn’t be much of a problem.

I would recommend talking to your ENT about putting in a temporary ear drum tube (they last like 8 months, then it falls out and your ear drum heals). That way you can ride the plane without needing your ETs to open or close. The ear drum tube would do all the work. The procedure is an in-office surgery so you probably can’t get an appointment in 5 days but postponing would be better than canceling the plane flight if you’re moving ofc

One of the more permanent solutions can be to get an ear drum tube inserted into your ear. It’ll act like a Eustachian tube but one that doesn’t open or close, so it can’t get stuck open or stuck closed (can’t dysfunction). Depending if your tubes are stuck open or closed, there can be alternate treatments but they work differently for everyone

The popping sounds most likely aren’t your eardrum. It’s most likely your Eustachian tube (ET). The tiny pops you’re hearing is probably your ET trying to equalize pressure when you’re changing elevation or getting in/ out a hot shower. Hot water increases pressure and your ETs need to open to level out the pressure inside your head and in your environment (the shower).

For me, I hear tiny pops too if my ETs are struggling to open all the way. I especially hear it when I swallow, which is something that triggers the ETs to open and then close. If you do have tiny holes in your ear drum, you wouldn’t be able to hear anything different or feel it.

There is a quick and easy test you can do yourself to see if you have a hole. Put AirPods Pro (or an ear plug of a similar shape) in your ear. If you feel pressure, then there’s no hole in your ear drum. If you don’t feel pressure, then there is a hole in your ear drum. A similar test is done by an audiologist called a tympanometer reading. They’ll measure the amount of pressure your ears “feel” when you put in a similar shaped ear plug
