I first read this as "EMT doctor visit" and became worried. I am glad it is not that but hearing loss is still awful. I think Bose makes hearing aids now. I tend to get lots of sinus infections and one of my brothers lost his hear due to massive inflammation and was placed on a large dosage of Prednisone that got him back to normal. All the best to you sir!
Thanks for your concern. I am fine. In fact, most of the side effects from the Sudafed have subsided. I will probably follow the doctor's advice and take one each day for week. My reaction may have been because, to the best of my knowledge, I've never taken Sudafed before.
I read that the eardrum depression caused by an inflammation like a sinus infection is also treated with a steroid which is what Prednisone is. As most of us know, steroids also have side effects. The trick is to find a balance between treatments, symptoms and outcomes and make best guess decisions. If I can get improved hearing in my right ear, a little nausea is bearable.
Bose equipment... love it and hate it! I have Bose headphones for watching TV, Zoom meetings, phone conversations and listening to music. Once the Bluetooth connection is made to the Bose soundbar they are great. Making the connection using the Bose music app is another story. It seems like something different messes it up each time. Like, for no reason they will connect and then immediately disconnect. The built-in digital voice lets you know it is happing. She says, “living room disconnected” Duh! Other times they are connected according to the app but there is still no sound and like magic it will suddenly decide to play.
I like closed caption because if I miss something someone says I can read it on the screen. Never mind that it pops of seconds after the said it. And why is it some of the same programs have closed captioning and others in the series don’t? It is most annoying.
What did we do prior to smart phones? My entire life is on my phone! If it dies, I am shit out of luck... except for that everything is stored in 'the cloud' and can be recovered.
Technology.
How does the TV know when I left the room for too long and turn itself off even if I don't pause the program?
Remember the good old days when we entertained ourselves reading books and magazines? Or, God forbid, have a conversation with another human being who is in the room with us. There was TV before cable, but not much of it, maybe three or four channels with lame sitcoms cueing you to know when to laugh with the use of laugh tracks? Remember Carol Burnett's ear tugging? Bet that one earlobe was twice the length of the other. LOL!
I am showing my ancient age. Sometimes after sitting for a while or in the morning when I first get up, I walk like the character Duane Toddleberry, played by Tim Conway on the Carol Burnett show. It takes me an hour to get from my bed to the bathroom toilet, which is only 20 feet away because I am moving in slow motion... probably not that slow, but it always reminds me of him.
Enough about me and my woes and complaints. How are you doing these days. On Getbig, you seem to be back in good form. Does this mean you are feeling better? Hope so.
