You're welcome! And thank you for expounding.

I am very protective of my hearing, so I don't take NSAIDS and I carry earplugs to every restaurant, pub, and other noisy venue. Yet I recently suffered depressing and life-degrading damage to my hearing, which is being blamed on COVID vaccine. After it happened, people came out of the woodwork saying, "Oh yeah, I've heard of that." And now, too late for many of us, the information is trickling out. National Geographic featured an article about it last month.

I've seen two of the top hearing specialists on the west coast (if not the USA), and both vehemently stated that this is a true phenomenon; one of them stated with equal assurance that information about it is being suppressed. Even vaccine experts are afraid of being "canceled."

And indeed, my experience here reflects why. I have been buried and shadow-banned at least three times for posting references to reports of COVID-vaccine-induced hearing damage. It's disgusting and dangerous behavior that will cause more people's lives to be ruined. Obviously I'm not an anti-vaxxer; if I were, I wouldn't have had all my shots and a second (ultimately disastrous and nearly useless) booster.

I hope you find relief. Here are some links to what I'm talking about yet again. There are probably more since I collected these. Unfortunately the Nat Geo one is paywalled and it seems my subscription has run out:
