Noelle Foley Reveals Ongoing Suffering Due To Post Concussion Syndrome

Noelle Foley was training to become a pro wrestler, but a concussion put her on the sidelines. This resulted in months of problems due to that concussion, and her training had to end. It turns out those issues due to her concussion are still ongoing.

Foley revealed in a multiple slide tweet that she suffers from Hyperacusis now. It is physically painful for her to hear things, and that has caused her a ton of issues. She remains positive and would love to return to the ring, but her training has to wait for now.

This is a very big issue as it is now affecting other aspects of her daily life, causing her to miss out on a lot of things due to the complications associated with her 2019 concussion.

I’ve kept this to myself for quite some time, because I honestly just didn’t want to talk about it, but in February I was clinically diagnosed with a rare hearing disorder, known as Hyperacusis. Hyperacusis is when you have an extremely low tolerance for noise and most sounds are physically painful.

My Hyperacusis was brought on by my concussion in September 2019 and it was mild in the beginning, but unfortunately it has gotten worse over time. I’ve had several HORRIBLE setbacks in my recovery due to sounds, making it feel like my full recovery is light years away. If any of you are living with any of you are living with Hyperacusis you know darn well that it is an EXTREMELY debilitating condition to live with. It’s recently been severely affecting my every day life from grocery shopping, driving, restaurants, and even just being around people, including my family.

I don’t share too much of my struggles here on social media, but between my Post Concussion Syndrome and my Hyperacusis, it has been a real struggle, both physically and mentally. On top of my Hyperacusis, I also struggle with Tinnitus (Pulsatile),

Tinnitus (Pulsatile), Phonophobia, and Misophonia… so there is A LOT going on in these little ears of mine, well technically my brain because that’s where it all stems from.

But on one positive note, I’m officially part of a clinical study for Hyperacusis intervention, so I am HOPING this will not only help me, but can help develop a successful treatment for others struggling with debilitating Hyperacusis. For now I just need to stay positive and be patient! Thanks for listening 40 Feels good to get that off my chest!

Hopefully, that clinical study will pay off and advance the techniques need to help others like Noelle. In the meantime, she is going to carry on the best she can.

Concussions are no joke and it’s sad that Noelle Foley’s in-ring career had such a terrible tragedy before it could even get started.
