My Journey with a Rare Ear Disorder No One Could Explain | Episode 1   Show Notes: Hi, I’m Simone Kriener and welcome to my very first episode of The Sound of Silence: Living with Special Ears. My life changed the day terrifying symptoms of Patulous Eustachian Tube (a rare ear disorder) began and doctors insisted nothing was wrong. As my condition worsened, I felt panic, confusion, and deep loneliness while moving through misdiagnosis and long stays in psychological and psychiatric hospitals. Everything shifted when one doctor finally believed me. With a real diagnosis, I began managing my condition holistically and created this space to support and empower others with rare ear disorders. In this episode, I share my journey and offer awareness, validation, and gentle tools for anyone seeking hope and healing.   In this episode, I will discuss: (00:00) Introduction to the Sound of Silence (02:11) My Journey With Rare Ear Disorder Begins (02:38) The Onset of Symptoms (04:52) Medical Insights and Struggles (09:58) The Psychological Impact (12:15) Finding Validation and Relief (14:32) Living With Patulous Eustachian Tube (18:59) Building a Supportive Community   Bio I am a yoga teacher, spiritual guide, and wellness entrepreneur dedicated to supporting individuals living with rare ear disorders.
