– Noelle Foley revealed on Facebook that she struggles with Hyperacusis. A rare hearing disorder where most sounds are physically painful. The condition was brought on by a concussion she suffered in September of 2019.
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 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), 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 Feels good to get that off my chest! #Hyperacusis

– Phil Schneider’s new book on bloody wrestling matches is available now.
WAY OF THE BLADE: 100 OF THE GREATEST BLOODY MATCHES IN WRESTLING HISTORY
THE NEW BOOK FROM INTERNET WRESTLING PIONEER PHIL SCHNEIDER IS OUT TODAY
There’s something about blood that can take a routine professional wrestling match and turn it into a work of art. Blood spilled, pooling on the mat or painting blonde hair red, immediately raises the stakes of any match. In the business, they used to believe red turned into green—when the blade emerged from its hiding place to scrape the forehead, box office receipts grew right alongside the scar tissue.
It’s visceral and inarguably real, a physical repudiation of the age-old heckling every fan has heard a million times—”it’s all fake, isn’t it?” In Way of the Blade, Segunda Caida’s Phil Schneider, a leading wrestling critic and internet wrestling pioneer with the Death Valley Driver Video Review, looks at 100 of the best, bloodiest matches in the sport’s history. Starting in the 1950s and spanning the decades and continents, Schneider tells the story of a very weird sport. You’ll meet wrestling chickens and Nazi Doctors, relive classics everyone knows, and discover some hidden gems previously witnessed by a mere handful of fans lucky enough to have been in the building the night the carnage went down.
Gorgeously illustrated by Chris Bryan, this book is destined to become a classic in the burgeoning field of wrestling criticism and a handy guide for fans looking for insight into their favorites and to be introduced to new matches, complete with the context necessary to explain why and how they became legendary
