My condition has not improved. It has progressively worsened:

- Unintentional weight loss of approximately 1 Ib per week. | am currently 155 Ibs at
5 ft 9 in and continue to lose weight.

- Severe functional decline. | was previously capable of completing the Grouse
Grind. | am now exhausted by minor inclines.

- Chronic sleep deprivation. In the past six weeks | have experienced two
consecutive nights of 6 hours sleep on only one occasion. Most nights | receive
fewer than 4 hours.

- No REM sleep recorded across two weeks of independent monitoring.

- Persistent left ear pain rated 8-9 out of 10 since January 22, 2026. Right ear
initially 3-4 out of 10, now improving, confirming the injury is treatable with proper
intervention.

- Hyperacusis, dizziness, low blood pressure, low heart rate, no appetite.

- Significantly increased migraine frequency and severity since the injury, requiring
prescription migraine medication that is not covered under my extended health care
plan, resulting in direct out-of-pocket costs.

- Repetitive involuntary ulnar nerve firing in the left arm during waking hours,
presenting as an electric sensation identical to striking the funny bone, occurring
multiple times in succession.

- Increased irritability and mood swings directly attributable to chronic pain, sleep
deprivation, and unresolved injury.

- Short term memory loss, reduced ability to focus and concentrate, cognitive
impairment consistent with prolonged sleep deprivation and chronic pain.

- All symptoms are predominantly left-sided, consistent with the acoustic geometry
of Workstation 3 where the glass window reflected energy directly into my left ear.

lam also an undiagnosed autistic spectrum individual, which | am pursuing formal
assessment for through this claim process. Autistic sensory processing significantly
amplifies the physiological impact of acoustic trauma. My nervous system
experienced what colleagues perceived as background noise as a genuine and
sustained physiological assault.
