Funny how Gadget and technology enhancements that should make your life easy turn out to be costly, health wise.I remember meeting Joe, Meniere's disease ( is a disease of the inner ear which affects the auditory and balance systems of the body.) victim.We sat down and he started talking
BIZNERATI:Hello Joe,Welcome to the podcast
JOE:Thank you very much
BIZNERATI:Tell me more about your story
JOE:Well,it all started during my freshman days.Those good days when we didn't have much classes to attend to and almost every teen was caught up in the euphoria of wearing earphones.So I used to share my premium in-ear earphones with lots of friends since my earphones were one up
BIZNERATI:(sips water from glass)Continue
JOE:So one night,I started experiencing strange crackling,sometimes thumping ringing noise on my left ear.I remember that night I didn't sleep
BIZNERATI:Was it only on the left ear?
JOE:Yes.This stressed me a lot.I never slept for 3 consecutive nights
BIZNERATI:Did you visit a doctor?
JOE:I never did 'cause I viewed this as a temporary situation.But that changed when it went chronic
BIZNERATI:What do you mean?
JOE: It reached a point where where the moment I closed my eyes I’d become unstable and almost fall down.
BIZNERATI:Sorry about that,what happened next
JOE:I quickly went to the doctor and that's when the doctor revealed my worst fears.I had suffered a bad ear infection and Apparently, my brain was using my eyes to make up for my messed up inner ear balance stuff.I wished the ground would open and swallow me.Where had I gotten the bad ear infection from?The doc told me ,could be from friends I was sharing my in ear earphones with,listening to music full blast
BIZNERATI:Did he recommend any treatment?
JOE:He told me as per that time there was no known cure but told me I could control the symptoms
BIZNERATI:Wow!How is it living with the bad ear infection
JOE:Its hard but I'm optimistic a cure will be found
BIZNERATI:Final words to the listener
JOE:Dont get trapped in the comforts and luxuries of the advancement of technology.Some of these advancements impose multiple side effects on our health which will be costly at the dead end
VOILA!!!
