Are you feeling any better? Is your ear actively hurting? I hope a specialist can help you out soon.

Ears don't really heal, which means the best I can hope for is to wait (weeks and weeks) for it to stop being reactive and inflamed. It only hurts sometimes, when it's been exposed to too much noise, but there's no consistent pattern to what constitutes "too much", or what kind (pitch, volume, etc.). Fortunately, now that I've been able to get a high-frequency hearing test, I've determined that the only significant hearing damage is in an upper range, which I would have eventually lost with aging anyway. At one point, everything in that ear sounded like it was coming out of a broken drive-thru speaker, so things could have been a lot worse. But I've still got the percussion sensitivity, middle-ear muscle seizures and probably permanent tinnitus. So life is really fun right now.

Have you played any of Pin-Point's games? Regardless if you have or not, do you have any interest in them?

I haven't, but I've been interested in some of them.

Did they already offer MAID to you?

No, that would imply that I've been able to get medical help, which has proven unbelievably difficult. I don't have an opportunity to see an ENT who specializes in otology until the end of this month, which is way outside the treatment window. None of the walk-in doctors or emergency doctors considered my ear trauma to be an emergency. The doctor at my local hospital didn't know why I had turned up, and my audiologist was appalled when I told her this. I actually went to a hospital an hour away specifically because they had an ENT on standby in the emergency room, but the actual doctor I got refused to let me see them. All the memes about Canadian health care are real.

Do you characters from eroges ever show up in your dreams? I think they have for more, like the other night in which the female leads of SaDistic BlooD showed up in a dream I was having (despite the fact I haven't played the game).

I barely seem to have dreams, so no.

Do you think eroges have at least some "forbidden fruit" appeal to you? In other words, do they appeal to you at least partly because other people view it as immoral or whatnot?

No. Why should I care what those people think?
