Summary
They caught COVID at Christmas 2020 and were left with loud tinnitus, chest pains, dizziness and days of exhaustion after tennis. They could play with their child and play sport but often paid for it. By late 2021 they said they were better, though not healed and physically weaker than before; a year later the ringing had spread across their head and nothing they had tried had helped.
