His Twitter feed announced his feelings towards a pastime he had recently be enjoying.
Mr Anscenic places the blame for his ear issues squarely at the feet of propylene glycol’s ototoxicity. There is no disputing that even though it’s used in eardrops there are documented studies proving it is ototoxic. Swire cited a couple: here and here.
Although some on the ECF forum complained of tinnitus occurring while vaping high-PG liquids there ahs been no research carried out to support the allegations. This didn’t stop Rob from going on to say:
His tweets encouraged many replies from fans and vapers all curious to know more and offer their ideas of what might have been to blame.
Some ventured that the only way for eliquid to have achieved this would be if Swire had poured the bottle into his ear.
We will never know what caused his temporary deafness, although Doctor Farsalinos strongly doubts it was vaping eliquid.
