Hearing changes post stroke

Eleven years ago I had a stroke. I’m still trying to recover from it but it did a few remarkable things for rather than against me! One is the loss of tinnitus. yes, it just aint here now and being a musician the loss of it is wonderful.

The next thing is headaches, I just dont have them any more and this is remarkable because Ive had them since five years old. Three a week on average and many that sent me to a darkened room with a damp towel over my head for usually two hours. Even as an adult I bought Aspirin in bottles of 100 to save cost.

Blood. I was terrified at seeing blood and had to get a first aid certificate to become a fishing guide. Most of the meetings blood is shown and my gore used to rise and I’d spend the rest of the meeting trying to work out how to get the certificate without attendance. Since the stroke that has vanished and I can actually watch a needle being inserted into the back of my hand to draw blood and admire the skill of the operator!
