My sister suddenly lost 100% of her hearing in one ear about 4 years ago. I'll ask her to come here to comment. It happened over about 2 or 3 days and it was completely done. Gone. She got treatment and it did no good at all. She has adjusted to her loss very easily and very well. there are certain instances that it causes problems like people trying to talk to her on her right side only or locating which direction a sound is coming from. But it really hasn't affected her life very much and she almost never mentions it because it's just one of those things she can't do anything about and had to accept it. I'm so sorry for your hearing loss/change. It may affect you in an entirely different way. I used to be a sign language interpreter for the deaf and have never had a client who could hear well out of one ear. They just have never needed my services or any services at all. I don't know if that brings you any comfort at all but thought that I would share it anyway.

I’m sorry girl but men ain’t sh*t trust me 😭😭🤣

my goal for the new year is to stop taking things so seriously, stop feeling like one mistake or bad decision is the end of the world. i want to start believing that even if one path gets blocked off, there are a million other paths i could take at any given point. maybe the point of life is to just get back up and try something else. i want to believe there is no such thing as failure

What you experience most likely is called eustachian tube dysfunction. Do you have any other muscle or vision symptoms? (I am not a doctor)

A year and 4 months ago. I had a very similar experience, though not with my hearing. I suddenly lost my voice. It was a bit hoarse in the morning, had a few work meetings where I excused myself for probably getting sick. In the evening I got out of my car, tried to speak and my voice sounded like a whispering batman. In addition to that, I was not prepared for what came next. I was offered a glass of water (maybe my throat was dry). Tried to drink and immediately choked beyond help. Fell to the ground, coughed up a sip of water which went to my lungs. Went to ENT where I was diagnosed with unilateral vocal cord paresis. Little did I know, vocal cords not only allow you to speak, but play a crucial role in swallowing. They close shut, allowing you to swallow food and liquid. My right vocal cord was almost completely paralysed, causing my speach issues and my swallowing problems. Similar to you, I read every bit of info on the internet and there seems to be a very similar condition to "Sudden deafness", but affecting your voice. And it is said that your voice may or may not return in anywhere between 3 weeks and 6 months. Recovery beyond the 6th month mark is unlikely. I was put on prednisone as well. No noticeable effect. Fortunately 2 months into this, my voice suddenly started to get better and took another month to fully recover along with my swallowing. Since then I started having other symptoms, that might be neurological, I still do not have all the answers. Why am I telling you all this. Both hearing and speech can be affected if the cranial nerve is damaged. Among all tests I did, I was positive for Lyme disease. Lyme is known to cause Cranial nerve damage (reversible). Neurological complications of Lyme usually occur in case of an old, chronic illness and is much harder to heal. I just finished 2 months of antibiotics (1 of which being IV). Some of my symptoms improved drastically, some not so much, but it is supposed to be a few months until full recovery, so we'll see. A big headsup. Be really really careful with prednisone. Ask your docs to be put off it gradually. Don't just take high dose every day and next day zero. I was administered a high dosage with no gradual reduction and the sideeffects were bad. Don't want to scare you, but several rheumatologists afterwards told me I shouldn't have been told to stop prednisone so suddenly. Good luck and if you need/want more details, let me know and we can have a chat. Arm yourself with patience.

This video = I used to be insecure and envy rich hot people and I overcame it by becoming a rich and hot KZbinr showing my spacious house behind me so you can envy me 😅

What is LGBTQ+? i don't know.

Best wishes for 2025 and I hope your hearing recovers as soon as possible. ❤

Hi, I haven’t experienced this and I’m not an expert, but I’m leaving a comment here to hopefully provide some useful information. The thing you described as the voices sounding robotic and echoey reminded me of something. I’ve seen in movies, an audio technique that I think is called vocal layering or layered repetition. The technique is made by recording something being said multiple times, and then the recordings are overlapped over each other and played at the same time. It creates an effect that in my opinion sounds quite unsettling. Anyways, I’m really sorry that this is happening to you. It must be really hard, especially when it’s so unexpected and there isn’t much research and information about it. It’s very kind of you to make this video to spread awareness.

WTH! I have universal is 'MONEY'

done riding the CC, hit the epiphany phase and "ready to settle down", are we?

You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

God I'm in love!!💓

I shared my ear story but it got deleted.

Hey it took me about 3 months to get rid of my robotic hearing after having sudden vertigo and tinnitus i collapsed and my ent wasnt giving me anything despite waiting 3 weeks for treatment or 6 days until steroids I recovered from hyperacusis and all the werid off pitch hearing issues aswell as ear fullness, what remained was tinnitus forever and all the frequencies above 15k are gone for me. Always take action immediately and other than that it could take up to 6 months for your hearing to slowly come back (not entirely i think but most of it)

Yes, I forgot to mention in my post on your other video that this experience came with increased tinnitus unfortunately. I had it before this happened, and now it's worse. It is affecting my symphony orchestra career substantially. I can totally relate to your experience and how hard it is to not freak out about it... In solidarity

I am a professional musician (trumpet player) living in Singapore and had this exact same thing happen to me last month. I took the same steroids you did and regained about 30% of my hearing within a week. I also had MRI head scan to rule out tumour which luckily came out clear. This is very scary I and I'm sorry you're going through this. Hugs and support from Singapore.

Get well soon ❤

You are gorgeous, have amazing eyebrows, and hair. Also this video was so helpful. I have had mostly bad experiences with female friends. Most of my friends are males. So much simpler. Ps - my dog’s name is Blakely. Such a great name! Keep up the great content! 💜💜💜

Well said ,you are wonderful.

I really enjoyed this video. Vulnerable, honest, and thought provoking 😊

Lana, Hi. I wanted to share my thoughts. I'm a 33 y/o man. Loner. Visionary. Introspective. INFJ as well. I feel very similarly. As another year closes and we're just days before entering into a new year, I can't help but feel like I stagnate, missed out on certain milestones, and continue to feel as if I fall behind. I sometimes feel as if I'm not really living. I'm just existing. I'm a late bloomer. I see nothing wrong with this as we all progress at different paces and everyone leads different paths. But with each passing year, I sometimes can't help but get a little more worried that certain doors are slowly closing as I continue burning time focusing on self-development. Another year passes. I'm another year older. Time passes. And me not being where I wanted to be with things not turning out like I hoped/imagined, and not having things "figured out." I also happen to struggle with comorbid chronic anxiety (social & generalized) and AVPD. I ask myself why I am the way I am. But strangely, at the same time, I also feel this sense of inner peace. I may never have things totally "figured out." And I'm alright with that. The _Serenity Prayer_ is also something that I like to live by too. I'm also a firm believer in most things (if not everything) happening for a reason. We may receive the answers to certain things. Some things, we may never ever know. Some of them could be signs. While often times, not explicitly expressed or directed at you. They tug at us. They could manifest themselves through _coincidences._ *Godwinks.* Thank you for always sharing your calming insights and wisdom. _"What we are looking for is what is looking"_ *All the best to you*

Honestly I didn’t find this comforting. I feel like I just watched someone list a bunch of ways they like to escape from the world. I still feel hurt and empty inside

whoa that introduction was good

I’ve seen another cause of Ear damage and it’s from closing the Doors on our Cars. I seen one video that shows a 1 way flap that’s supposed to open up to relieve the Air Pressure that increases inside the Car right at the moment the door shuts. And when you look at it it is a violent action going on right next to our Ears! Is your affected Ear the side next to the Door? I’ve looked in the Manuals I have and have yet to find it mentioned. So maybe some of them do & some don’t have the Cabin Air Pressure Relief Valve. I guess we can roll the windows down a bit before we shut the Door that should give the Air Pressure somewhere to go. I do hope you get better soon!

I am so insecure about my boyfriend's ex-girlfriends, they all seem to be so good looking, beautiful, tall, clear skin, mature, rich and comparatively I know I'm so ugly, poor, short, with flaw skin. It is almost 4am in the morning and i could not sleep yet, I feel like killing myself, trying to just stop thinking about those girls but i couldn't do it, I'm done. I need a break from life, I don't know whether should I die or should I overcome? I deactivated all my socials just because their accounts were popping up in my feed and it was putting me in hell, nobody is up to just call and share what I feel, I feel alone, suicidal thoughts are high, hope I will be okay.

Hi Lana Blakely ❤your beautiful 😍 looking woman God 🎉bless you

Lately, I feel so alone, and my chest is physically hurting.

I find I hate the feeling now I am aware of myself being this way. I want to appreciate others not be jealous or whatever this pattern I have been like for years. I never even noticed it until 56 when I had an awakening after a health issue that's changed my life. I want to just be happy with myself. And not compare myself to others. I just have to figure out how to get rid of this pattern...I know I am thinking it and I have to talk to myself and try to work through it. But it is making me upset I want it gone!! 😊

I’m sorry you’re having to go through this 😢❤

Like it ❤ Give us more

Lana, you’re such a wholesome person and when I watch you, I see this calm and deep understanding in your eyes. I’d really like to see you transfer all this wisdom to a son or a daughter ❤ Also, follow life the way it is taking you, do not compare. Someone may have had kids at your age or even before, it doesn’t mean it’s time for you to go and get one. Life is just leading you on a different course, the best route for you.

3:58 Jesus I needed to hear this.

I like the “it’s always a once in a lifetime opportunity” way of phrasing to cherish each moment as super lovely and honorable even if it’s mundane. Life sort of becomes a self fulfilling prophecy if you give meaning to it - it develops into full of meaning and purpose. I def liked this point and also the idea to getting to know oneself.💜

god i'm terrified now, i wish you the best, i a couple of months ago, last summer, noticed two black dots floating around in my right eye with distinct shapes, still haven't gone away and have the same shape still, i was 14 and now i've just accepted it as part of my life, i was just anxious and stressed constantly and i'm sure you must feel the same.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

What is your rising sign ?

Wishing you all the best

Not my Dad, but my mom plays a big role in her bad parenting. 😭😭😔💔😔🥺

You are too amazing for this world❤

01:58 I always come here to listen to this and cry

You need to write in your Journal every night. Make it a habit. Find out who you are and what your goals are. The key is being consistent. In everything. Good luck.

sometimes little things are hurt me.but it hurts the most when parents and close ones used to taunt me.Because I'm not only an introvert but also an emotionally fragile person.

I still struggle with whether or not I want children, even though I have found the person that I would want them with. I really love my peace and solitude, and the freedom to pick up and travel whenever I want. I often think, however, that I would regret it more if I don’t have them, and I also want the chance to relive being a kid with them again 😅 There will be upsides and downsides to both choices, and there are days that I have doubts, but most of the time I believe having children will be more fulfilling long term ☺️ All that being said, it’s normal to not have it figured out yet 🥰

honestly have no words for this. I feel this is the first comment I’m leaving after a year, and it feels amazing watching your videos. You’re truly inspiring! 💖✨

Wh a t we focus on expands!

My wife's younger sister is partially deaf since an accident during one of our expedition vacations. Both of her ear erdrums were ripped and we were too far away to get to a hospital in time. It took us almost four days. We plugged up the ears with foam Oropax. She got a surgery, but due to the delay, vehicle shaking around on terrain and messing up her small bones and other inujuries, she can't hear anything above 6kHz anymore. She has special hearing aids with a pitch down. She can hear everything, but according to her it all sounds very compressed and muffled, women sound like men with a deep voice. Thankfully this technology exist, because alarms are often high pitched sound. Would be bad if she could not hear the fire or home security system alert.
