In July 2023 I went instantly deaf in one ear and to cut a long story short it turns out I have something called SSHL or Sudden Senseroneural Hearing Loss. SSHL is more than just losing your hearing, it’s a crazy debilitating mixture of deadfenss, super hearing sensitivity, ringing in your ears, frequencies getting muddled, inability to discriminate speech, and more! It also turns out to be quite rare and, from what I can gather, not a lot is known about it, and most of the stuff on the internet that you read about is not properly understanding the problem, it’s just people writing about some of the symptoms that occur. So after a few months of this, I’ve decided to research a little bit myself, at least enough to know what will help it and what will make it worse. And I’ve started a website of my journey here: cist.blog
