#SuddenHearingLoss changes your life profoundly. It is a by product of many factors including #Diabetes and #HeartDisease. Mine was further exacerbated by my many years in the #MusicBiz (live and in the studio). #Neurologists will try desperately in the early days to reverse it with #steroid injections into your inner ear(s), but the window closes quickly before it becomes permanent. Living in silence (with some whooshing in the background) can be lonely, but BS free too.https://www.theguardian.com/society/ng-interactive/2026/mar/11/deaf-hard-of-hearing-asl-personal-essay?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
