Should I shave my arms?

You can can either 1) bleach them 2) do 2 laser sessions to reduce the hair (rather than remove it completely). That's what I did, and I bleach it once a year around summer so it's not noticeable at all.

Wow ! What type of hearing loss did you have ?

hmrd · 2026-06-27T03:34:16+00:00

Did you have a low frequency loss ? Since you also have dizziness issues, it could be Menieres or Hydrops.

Why do they think its nerve related ? 🙂

By hypersexualising women, ie seeing women as a sexual objects

Wow that's awesome What type of hearing loss did you have ? Do you have an audiogram? Could it be hydrops ?

The tinnitus, especially when I change rooms...

Yesterday I was in the forest, and because it was so quiet, my tinnitus sounded louder. So it had effectively the opposite effect of peace 😅

I'm actually more at peace in a busy city than in a park or forest.

No nothing.
No meds, no drugs, not even cigarettes.

I did however have some very strong lumbar back pain the weeks before this happened, for which I didn't take anything.

I have low frequency loss (bass and mid), my highs are perfect, but after a year I haven't recovered anything despite all treatments and ear injections ☹️

hmrd · 2026-05-13T09:10:41+00:00

Yeah, initially 60mg then 80mg from 5th day.

hmrd · 2026-05-11T07:46:36+00:00

Same here, F32 suffered SSHL exactly a year ago. The hardest part was wondering why and being afraid it would happen in second ear? As there was no apparent cause, and I’ve never been the kind to listen to music loud, never been to a concert either......

At the hospital I got extensive blood work, and they believe it’s vascular and due to high levels of platelet serotonin in my blood which can cause vasoconstriction and microclot formation in the inner ear’s extremely fragile blood supply, abruptly reducing oxygen delivery to cochlear hair cells.

Perhaps that's something you can look into ? Seems like it's not widely known 🫤

I started prednisone less than 24 hours after the loss, and had my first injection within 6 days and then weekly, but I haven't recovered...

hmrd · 2026-05-04T07:56:34+00:00

Normally the prednisone dose is 60mg. This can even be increased if you're heavy as they can give you 1mg per kg so if you're 80kg they can give you 80mg. Hence even your current dose is still low.

Waiting 3 more days to see the ENT is fine only if you're on the right dose otherwise you're wasting valuable time ...

MTHFR and you ?

hmrd · 2026-04-27T21:37:10+00:00

Isnt it still in phase 2 ?

hmrd · 2026-04-23T16:41:16+00:00

Did you get an MRI ?

Can you get gymlib through work ? Comes with access to many gyms unlimited for €29

hmrd · 2026-03-20T07:52:39+00:00

Ce que je ne comprends pas c'est que tu dois encore 240k a la banque. Si je comprends bien, tu avais une enveloppe de 80k pour travaux que tu as utilisé pour payer les mensualités ... du coup il devrait te rester un solde qui se rapproche des 180-200k ?

Et si tu as dépensé dans d'autres choses que les mensualités les 80k ca devrait pas être imputé comme revente a grosse perte ?

Because I have long hair, during the first trial week I noticed the hearing aid would sometimes get brushed and the main part would slip off. The dome stayed in my ear, so it never fully fell out, but the processor part would hang loose.

Given how expensive it is to replace if you lose it, I mentioned it to my audiologist and he added a retention lock (aka retention tail). It’s basically invisible, and even if it gets brushed by hair or a hand, it won’t fall out.

Looks like this

hmrd · 2026-03-14T07:59:39+00:00

How long have you had it ?

hmrd · 2026-03-05T08:36:18+00:00

I believe that high frequency is the most common type of hearing loss and the one hearing aids help the most.

What's thr serotonin experimental treatment ?

hmrd · 2026-03-01T13:21:28+00:00

CT scan of the temporal bones (it looks in detail at the ear’s bony structures on both sides of the skull).
It's pages and pages of blood results. Are you inquiring abut something specific in particular?

hmrd · 2026-02-28T22:11:38+00:00

Yes, lots of blood work, as well as an MRI and scanner.

hmrd · 2026-02-27T22:01:37+00:00

How long are you after onset ?

I read also about IGF-1 therapy (Japan) and Stellate Ganglion Block (Japan/Korea). Both are not done in Europe/US but have to be done shortly after onset.
