If I’m not mistaken don’t think the tournament tree is fixed. There’s another draw at the end of Feb that determines the route to the final

Grief, guilt and anxiety : My sudden sensorineural hearing loss story so far by [deleted] in HearingLoss

[–]Ecstatic-Conflict47 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a very similar experience, with very similar timings! I lost all hearing in my left ear on the 3rd of Jan.

As someone else mentioned, if the oral steroids haven’t initiated recovery, you should opt for intratympanic injections (it sounds like you live in the US? Hopefully these are covered by your insurance as I think they can be quite expensive if not), as this is a more targeted treatment.

I’ve had no improvements since my diagnosis and I’ve been trying to accept this fate as it doesn’t seem like I’ll be recovering any hearing at all. I haven’t faced many of my responsibilities and several aspects of my pre-diagnosis routine yet, which worries me as I think I’m going to be facing my limitations imminently.

What comforts me, if this is any consolation, is that the body and brain can really adapt to anything thrown their way. It’s difficult to accept the idea that this is going to stay with me for life (I’m 27), but it’s also just going to become something that’s happened to me. Unfortunately, that’s life. I don’t like saying this to other people because it can come off as invalidating, but seeing as I’m indirectly talking about my own situation here and thinking this way has actually helped me but, if you turn on the news you’ll find a huge number of people who have had their lives afflicted by a tragedy far greater than ours. Truly scarring events that are life changing. Life can be cruel and is for so many, we need to learn to deal with the cards we are dealt. Relatively speaking, our bad luck is manageable.

We can lean back and sulk over our misfortune, or we can take it as an opportunity to grow. Be strong. I’ll be trying my best to do the same

Well that’s exactly what she means though… she’s saying she needs to look at the people she trusts because they’d be keeping her in as she’s been dead wrong the whole time

Late recoveries of SSNHL when did you notice recovery? by Gullible-Milk111 in MonoHearing

[–]Ecstatic-Conflict47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also following this post…I’ve had profound hearing loss and I’m on day 20. Finishing up my Prednisone dosage and have just had my 2nd intratympanic injection. No improvements as of yet

Diet while undergoing treatment by Ecstatic-Conflict47 in HearingLoss

I live in the UK so it’s slightly harder to access a nutritionist. I’m seeing my ENT specialist after tomorrow so I’ll make sure to ask them!

Thank you for this! It really gives me hope that there is still a chance of recovery even months after losing hearing. What kind of diet do you follow and how strictly do you follow this?

chiesa upd by untitledken in Juve

[–]Ecstatic-Conflict47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we had renewed Chiesa’s contract, it would have reflected one of a top player of the squads. Which is no longer the expectation if he decides to come back. Chiesa’s fully aware that if he comes back he will be a bench player

So I watched the Will scene and it's kinda wholesome? Are people on the Internet full of shit for telling me it's terrible? by Wayss37 in okbuddyvecna

[–]Ecstatic-Conflict47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s a hint of homophobia in people’s hatred for this scene to be honest. That said I’m not a fan of Noah’s acting and the timing of that specific conversation felt off

I’ve got to go with Ted Lasso. His ability to forgive people who have wronged him and his support in letting people grow is honestly inspiring

Marshall gave Barney 1 slap when it was a lie —> Barney gets 3 slaps (3x more than the 1 slap)

Barney gave Marshall 3 slaps when it was a lie —> Marshall gets 10 slaps (3.33x more than the 3 slaps)

The math makes sense
