Use Airbuds or AirPods a lot . I will watchor listen to something on my Iphone , iPad or computer, and not interest in what my family is watching on tv, I pop in my ear buds

She won’t truly know until she uses Airpods or ears buds . Does loud music or TV trigger her seizures? If so , then maybe she shouldn’t use them

Did she have surgery or medicine to control the seizures? Surgery, the five-year mark is the numbers drop down to point one percent of ever getting the seizures back ever again. Each year after that there is another zero added before the one. I am at year 10 so that makes it a .00001% of ever getting the seizure back. I still don't do crazy things but I am back to driving and college and doing things that they said would never happen.
