Hey! Welcome to the club! Lost all my hair in the ninth grade (I’m a guy), I’m 33 now and never looked back.

Did you try any (are they still trying any/these) treatments? My folks had me try cortisone shots into my scalp, cream that intentionally made my scalp really itchy and something where I would stand it what seemed like an upright tanning booth (this sort of worked for me).

Thanks for the compliment, you look great! I'm surprised (maybe I'm not...) that there doesn't seem to have been much progress on a cure, cause, etc. Keep up the good work, and hit me up if you ever need to vent.

Totally fine, I've never experienced any negative (hearing related or otherwise) side effects. I think the number one side effect is dealing with the social stigma, which happened to me a bit in school, but as a guy, it was easy to deal with. I have huge respect for OP.
