I just learned that a friend of mine who had partial deafness with Covid has permanent partial deafness. It’s a documented thing. And yes, she was fully vaccinated. Reminder: Vaccination may not prevent contracting Covid, but only make it less severe.
@BillyBones @MommaJ keep in mind the variants are ahead of the vaccines. And the latest one, JN.1, is known to evade immunity from prior infection. Just in the almost 4 years of US Covid over 200 disease processes have been attributed to it. And that’s just the short term.
Another “not a feel good” Covid article about Microstructural brain abnormalities, fatigue, and cognitive dysfunction after mild COVID-19:
@BillyBones Have you seen/heard of the newer tinnitus treatment using a Lenire device? I heard about it several months ago on NPR. Not sure if it would be a help to your specific situation, but it sounded really promising. Here's a link to the text and audio.
@Ironworker229 No, it's the first I've ever heard of it! 🤔
@CanisPundit Oh God, that's awful to read about your friend. I've said to Sharon many times that while I had some tinnitus before getting Covid, it's far, far worse now but wondered whether it's psychological.
So many people who are bashing Biden for the economy, food prices(?!) and God knows what else have quickly forgotten that DFG had the country at an absolute standstill during Covid. And while it's still around, Biden & the Administration got things moving again (again... choir)
