I always go for 15 days before...gives you a fighting chance.

Cheers

She is in heaven here.....she is related to most of the village and all her childhood friends are here.....I'M DOOMED.

Diagnosed today with sudden sensorial hearing loss.....lovely little Bangladeshi girl cried as she told me the what the test results showed.....total hearing loss.....almost certainly permanent....having scans next week to rule out anything 'nasty'.....sick of getting old.

B****y monks and temples, funerals, weddings.....any excuse...get the loudspeakers out.

That is the key....just being able to walk out, have a beer, go to a restaurant, shops.....!!!!

Lack of modern living .....people are no problem here,,,very...too idyllic

I have lived in very rural Isaan for two years. Beautiful home, loving and affectionate wife, beautiful countryside.....her house and land, all bought with her money, not mine so I live virtually 'free'.....and yet I am seriously looking at giving it all up. I would not recommend anyone moves here.....but I do accept some people love it.....each to his own I guess.

Yes....travelling at the moment....pretty sure my 'man flu' was a consequence of flying, which has then led to this deafness.

Only had my ears checked two months ago......could the wax collect that quickly?

Yes unavoidable……..at least the wife will have to learn to sign if she wants to carry on nagging….555

Yikes…..that is scary. I’m hoping this is fluid in the middle/inner ear and it can be cleared out somehow.

Just been reading that the fluid can permanently damage the cochlea……going to have to get myself to a doctor somehow.

How does anyone, the lady involved, siblings, parents………….ever recover from something like this…….I wish I’d never had kids at times.

Even in ‘tightly controlled' industrial operations, like in the UK, you still get major accidents……Thailand is like the wild west when it comes to H&S…….. there are accidents just waiting to happen.

Yes, I’ve seen that suggested….going to give it a try with a decongestant .

No….last jab was for flu …..Oct 2023…I think

No wax…or very doubtful…..I did as a doctor about two months ago to check…..said both ears were clear.

Thanks for that. Not been swimming for a while…..had tinnitus for years now…..worked in heavy industry…..but the sounds I now have in this deaf ear are weird.

I’m assuming that’s the case….but in the inner ear…..nothing in the outer ear….no feeling of an infection…..yet!

Had a dose of ‘man flu’ which has left me totally deaf in my good ear…….lasted for 10 days so far….can’t hear zip, nada. Anyone experience this? Did it clear up by itself? Did you see a doctor? What advice/treatment were you given? Did you try any home remedies? I’m travelling at the moment and getting proper medical advice/care is not an easy option.

🤣

Excellent.....well done....robbing bar steward.

...it must get hot inside those plastic bags.

That is the big draw back.....best to get a seat where you can't see the driver or you'll never relax.....also, best to travel when the traffic is heavy 9am/3pm....so they the idiots can't get a head of steam up
