Summary
Comet 70720 developed long COVID after a COVID-19 infection in January 2022, with persistent ear problems, tinnitus, sound sensitivity, genital nerve pain and, at its worst, DPDR. The tinnitus faded over months and the ear issues resolved after about a year, which they credited to time and earplugs in noisy places; they also said a mouthpiece resolved something. By November 2024 they reported they were back to normal, unsure whether the ear symptoms came from COVID or their TMJ.
