My Story of Sudden Hearing Loss | SSNHL

It's good to be back! Today I'm sharing my experience of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) a couple of months ago, and the aftermath that's unfolded since.I know this is a deviation from my usual topics, but I'd love people to be informed in case you or a loved one suddenly loses hearing. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is considered a medical emergency, but is often missed by medical professionals.I'll be back to my usual Private Practice Skills antics next week :)Thank you to Paubox for sponsoring this episode.
