Forgetting about appointments has become a normal aspect of life for me.

Hearing loss is a known effect of high altitude barotrauma.

Space shuttle Challenger was a total loss on its 10th flight.

Space shuttle Columbia was a total loss on its 28th flight.

It took 25 space shuttle flights for a total loss to occur.

Loss of cell phone reception inside of a building generally indicates that the following two issues may be present: 1. High electromagnetic interference (EMI) environment from dirty electricity that is being generated by electronic products. 2. Shielding and Faraday cage effects from metalwork in the building.

Steven Magee, Chartered Electrical Engineer, was medically diagnosed with Amnestic Disorder which is characterized by short term memory loss in 2016 at the age of 46. He had worked for five years on the 13,796 feet very high altitude summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii, USA from 2001 to 2006 and had noticed memory problems developing during the last years that he worked there. The condition has now progressed into a disability.

I now suffer from hearing loss and wonder how much high altitude work contributed to this condition?

Life becomes involuntary repetitive when you suffer from short term memory loss.
