I strongly recommend going to this government website and checking out the superfund sites located in your area. If you live anywhere east of the Mississippi, your chances of living near or not far from an illegal dumping site are really high.

Zero idea. I posted above in the thread how it happened. It was abrupt and there was nothing in the way of a warning or a symptom I can point to that led up to the ordeal. I was simply just “fine” and then I wasn’t.
That’s how I already hear. The way I’ve described it is that what I hear from my left ear sounds like I’ve got a really low quality Bluetooth earpiece in, like when you’re trying to listen to music and use the microphone at the same time on Bluetooth headphones so the bitrate drops down to accommodate.
Bone conduction headphones worked for me as well. Complete night and day difference for me.
I have literally the same condition, same symptoms. The dizziness came on when I was literally walking down the stairs at work; I nearly fell off the bottom step. I literally clung to the wall for support until I got to my desk and just sat in the swirling room until I puked into my trash can. From that moment on, my left ear couldn’t hear half as well and had a ringing in it. As long as I’m conscious,I have a ringing in that ear. It took me 3 weeks to regain my balance because that’s how long it took me to relearn my center of gravity. It took me 2ish years until I felt “normal” again, save for the heading loss.
What is it that rust is less preferable to?
It’s for the best. X11 is 40 something years old now and lacks any future proofing and security.
To enjoy the chemical pleasures that life has to offer, in its fullest.
