Many people desperately want to know if their loved ones can hear them when they’re in a coma.

One woman, who was in a medically-induced coma for three days, shared that she could not only hear conversations around her but also sensed all the medical procedures performed on her.

Toyosi Adeneye, 30, from Calgary, Alberta in Canada, laid bare her harrowing experience exclusively with the Daily Mail.

Toyosi, known online as Dorothy Tuash and part of The OT Love Train duo, recounted her experience during childbirth in July. She faced a frightening complication that resulted in sepsis and necessitated a medically-induced coma.

‘I experienced preterm labor at 23 weeks due to cervical incompetency, requiring an emergency dilation and evacuation,’ she mentioned.

‘It was discovered that I had developed chorioamnionitis which led to me also developing sepsis. 

‘They had to put me into a coma in order to administer treatment and save my life.’

During her three-and-a-half-day coma, Toyosi described moments of full awareness, being able to ‘hear clearly’ and even see when doctors opened her eyes to apply eye drops.

A woman, after being in a medically-induced coma for three days, reported hearing conversations and sensing all the medical activities around her during that period.

Toyosi Adeneye, 30, described a frightening childbirth complication in July that resulted in sepsis and the need for a coma.

But she wasn’t able to move or communicate, which left her in a constant ‘state of panic.’ 

‘I had moments where I was conscious and could hear clearly – I could even hear my nurses talking about me,’ she shared.

‘When they opened my eyes to administer eye drops, I could see. I just couldn’t communicate that to anyone. 

‘I will never forget how I felt. I was in a state of panic because I didn’t know why exactly I was in a coma as the last thing I remembered was being sedated in the operating room.’

But the worst part was the fear that they might turn off her life support at any moment.

‘I didn’t know how bad or how good my progress was, how long I had been in the coma for or how long I would be there,’ she continued.

‘I was also looking for my husband and I was upset I couldn’t communicate with him. I was scared because I wasn’t sure if they were going to turn off my life support. I was anxious throughout the entire experience.’

According to Cleveland Clinic, a coma is a ‘deep unconscious state where you can’t wake up or respond, even to pain or loud sounds.’

She said there were moments when she was conscious and could ‘hear clearly’ and could even see when the doctors would open her eyes to administer drops. She’s seen after she awoke

The publication notes that ‘it’s possible’ to hear during a coma, adding, ‘Some people in a coma can hear what’s happening around them and even remember parts of it later.’

Toyosi recalled going in and out of consciousness and feeling ‘trapped in her own body.’

‘Every time [I came to] I would get really anxious, I would black out and then suddenly come to again. It was a horrible cycle,’ she continued.

In addition, she felt immense ‘pain and discomfort’ as doctors and nurses pricked her with needles and IVs. 

Unable to make any real noise, she said she was forced to ‘scream on the inside.’ 

‘One time a nurse thought my neck wasn’t straight so she tried to adjust it and then she accidentally bent it and it started aching,’ she remembered.

‘I also heard a nurse say the doctor asked her to tape my eyes shut and I was screaming inside because when my eyes were slightly open, I could see a little bit and that was my only portal to the outside world.’

Toyosi had ‘no concept of time’ and said it felt like she spent ‘months in coma,’ when in reality, it was just three days.

She recalled feeling a ‘huge relief’ when she finally came out of the coma.

Now, two months later, Toyosi said she’s doing much better, but admitted that her mental health is still impacted by the terrifying ordeal

‘I suddenly came to but this time, I could move my body slightly. I was so excited to see my husband. I was also happy to be able to breathe by myself again,’ she dished.

But her road to recovery was far from over as she had to relearn how to walk, breathe, and talk normally again.

Now, two months later, Toyosi said she’s doing much better, but admitted that her mental health is still impacted by the terrifying ordeal.

‘Unfortunately, I had nightmares when I first came home from the whole experience but that’s all in the past now,’ she admitted. 

‘I am in such a good place now, focused on continuing to build myself and my career. I’m doing way better than I was but grief still shows its face from time to time.’
