Ruben Finds Out the Extent of His Hearing Loss | Sound of Metal | Prime Video 

Just in case someone reads this, if his ever happens to you, go to the Emergency department immediately. It will save your hearing or at least the majority of it. I work in this field myself and it was weird no one said that! (would've made a great PSA) Not many things cause permanent sudden loss (usually its temporary like a big plug of wax or an infection/dip in hearing due to Meniere's etc...) But with the type that can become permanent, it can be caused by inflammation of the structures/viruses which in the most part can be treated quickly and successfully with steroids if left without, I'd say it will take 3 or 4 days for it to become irreversible. In terms of noise exposure, it takes years for it to harm your hearing, even then it's not the type of almost complete silence he has, it will just make things muffled. I don't even think I've ever heard of burst eardrums giving you a loss to the level where you hear literally nothing like him. I have so many questions about the cause of what he had! Sorry to nerd out

@@johnnyjoestar7143 thank you so much for this 🙏

@@johnnyjoestar7143 love that this is from a joestar haha, I'd like to add to be a little pushy, I myself was not pushy and was told by the doctor that it was fine and to take some antibiots to wait it out but it wasn't prednisione and it was treated as nothing so when I went back to an ENT a month later I had to hear that not getting prednisone within the first week has likely ( because it's not always a gaurantee it'll work) that I am now permanently like this, and now like 5-6 months later yea nothing has improved lol all because a doctor said to wait it out a bit..

Faced this in one ear 😅, it's terrifying.

Happened to me somewhat. I had a really bad ear infection it caused the hearing in my left ear to completely dull out. While I could still hear in my other ear, it was still very scary to lose my hearing in one ear. It eventually came back. But still. It really messes with you even if you can't hear out of one ear. I can't imagine what it would be like to completely lose your hearing. Losing it in one ear was scary enough.

Robbed? How? Does he automatically have to win due to his skin colour ?

@@Chasemcloud5745 what are you on about ?

It’s ok to be white

@@Chasemcloud5745 he was on about his acting ability not his skin colour

@@MesaLoveYou no he was not

Being a musician doesn't mean you have to listen to loud music. There's earplugs for concerts and in studio

A musician with no music on his channel.

@@nish7203 bruh

@@itsnotmily really never knew that

Yh course you are

😂

Aww , scary for you. its one of your senses that you never get back. I too watched this film and was glued to his expression all the way through, such a brilliant actor. Take care mate. Love from Wales. 🌹

That’s legit the number one rule if you bring are participating in a loud environment. Especially drummers.

I respect the choice at least 🤘

well, people are strange, there are opinions and subjectivity in the rhythm of music but none when it comes to science high pitch and loud sounds are bad and no amount of love for any genre will erase that fact.

Sudden hearing loss, the doc shouldnt be saying it's untreatable, he doesn't know if it's a tumor or infection...

Best film ever 🤣🤣
