Game of Thrones Readalong Update 3



 
 



I'm a little behind on my reading but I'm thoroughly enjoying this book! For this third part I've been thinking a lot about Shakespeare. More to the point Shakespeare's tragedies. As Eddard continues to gather all the pieces to a deadly puzzle, the reader can start to feel a sense of doom surrounding the Stark family. The omen of the Stag piercing the Direwolf echoed  through my mind as the Starks faced ordeal after ordeal.

I also found myself feeling equally frustrated and angry at King Robert. The waste he has allowed to grow in his kingdom, his repeated abuse of his body, and his fickle moods test  Eddard's loyalties, and highlighted the awful situation Eddard has lead his family into.

Yet I also feel a little sad for Robert. He is a warrior, but with no battle to fight he easily slid into excess: drink, women, food. It is clear that all those years ago the wrong man took the throne. Then there are the Lannisters!! My hate for Jamie and Cersi is equal to my love for Tyrion.

Tyrion's trials at the Eyrie were the highlight of this section. The description of the Eyrie and the madness of Lysa Arryn were wonderfully illustrated by Martin.
I will be catching up this week as we head onward the end, it's gone so fast! I'm looking forward to everyone else's  thoughts .

Types of hearing loss
There are three types of hearing loss — sensorineural hearing loss, conductive hearing loss, and mixed hearing loss.
Sensorineural hearing loss
Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of hearing loss. It occurs when the inner ear nerves and hair cells are damaged — perhaps due to age, noise damage or something else. Sensorineural hearing loss impacts the pathways from your inner ear to your brain. Most times, sensorineural hearing loss cannot be corrected medically or surgically, but can be treated and helped with the use of hearing aids.
Conductive hearing loss
Conductive hearing loss is typically the result of obstructions in the outer or middle ear — perhaps due to fluid, tumors, earwax or even ear formation. This obstruction prevents sound from getting to the inner ear. Conductive hearing loss can often be treated surgically or with medicine.
Mixed hearing loss
Mixed hearing loss is just what it sounds like — a combination of sensorineural and conductive hearing loss.
