It’s been 6 weeks since my last post! After a terrible time over Christmas I posted that my hearing was on the way up on 16 Jan. Well the great news is that it’s stayed pretty good. Here’s a graph of the last month:

Since 6th January I’ve been sticking pretty closely to the CIST protocol, and being very careful to avoid loud noises. It’s held my hearing at a pretty consistent level.You’ll notice a BIG drop around January 20th. There could be a couple of things contributing to that.
- On January 17th we had a family celebration dinner with the family. After so long in isolation I just had to do something fun.
- I had a blood test on 19th January, end even though I had earplugs in, the waiting room was extremely loud. I went outside but there were noise fans, so I was stuck in noise for about an hour.
My hearing crashed on 19/20 Jan.
Since then it’s been great. (I’ll do a separate post about that!)

Family Dinner on Jan 17 before the kids went back to University – no earplugs in! (Killed my hearing but only for a few days.)
