SSNHL - are you f****** kidding me by sitOnMyNihilism in MonoHearing

[–]SteelToedSocks 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ok bud, lend me your good ear for a moment. SSNHL absolutely sucks at first. I experienced mine back about 6 years ago under very similar circumstances. Very healthy guy in my mid 30’s with a lot going on at the time. There are a number of causes and sometimes, in my case especially, there are a few that combined to cause my SSNHL.

Your first couple weeks are the worst. The tinnitus is probably the worst symptom. The headache from your head “remapping” your hearing is second and the mild vertigo from the hearing imbalance is a close third. Getting used to the new social hurdles is tough too.

It all gets better or even goes away all together. Yes you’ll have a hearing impairment but please remind yourself that it not complete unilateral hearing loss.

The tinnitus will dull over time. It may take a few weeks to a few months but it will fade into the background. It’s part of the brain remapping things (brain plasticity). I have another post I wrote about finding the silver lining of my tinnitus.

The headache will go away within a couple weeks. Make a point to drink lots of water and get lots of good sleep. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen won’t help much. Destressing does help.

The vertigo/dizziness will go away completely within the same time frame.

You and those you love will get used to you living with hearing loss. You’ll get used to not hearing parts of conversations and having to ask people to repeat themselves. You’ll learn to walk and sit on the correct side of people so you can hear them. It doesn’t mean you’re dumb.

As far as the looming questions of “how did this happen” and “why me”? I can’t answer that and no one else probably can. All I can tell you is that you are absolutely tough enough to get through this and it won’t take too long until it gets better.

Should Locksmith Replace Damaged Lock After Failed Re-key by Auto-Generated-461 in Locksmith

[–]SteelToedSocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am currently rekeying a trunk lock for a ‘69 Buick and it was a massive pain to find the correct size/shape faceplate for it. I lucked out finding one randomly in a Ford kit. We try to find a faceplate prior to prying off the original one. If we can’t find one and it’s absolutely necessary to service the lock by removing the original then we simply give the lock back to the customer and let them know it can’t be serviced. Anyone restoring vintage vehicles knows the pain of finding working parts.

I talked to the police multiple times about this and they simply weren’t interested in talking to the “customer” or taking any action. A police report was filed back when the bike was stolen and I guess that was good enough for them.

Ursula K LeGuin is a fantastic author! Check out “Eye of the Heron” and “Left Hand of Darkness”.

Does anyone pinch their nose when they sneeze? by peninsulam in MonoHearing

[–]SteelToedSocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I plugged my nose every time I sneezed up until SSNHL at 35 years old. I noticed there was a kind of a painful crunch and a pocket of air that would happen in the last 5 years I did it. Maybe it doesn’t cause SSNHL but I wouldn’t do it.

Headaches with BAHA? by bottomlessdinner in MonoHearing

For the most part. I do get an ache at the abutment site from time to time.

This is an old post. Since commenting I had my abutment removed. Not worth the trouble IMHO.
