  • I have survived the first day with a new faint sound in my right ear due to a loud car exhaust. The day is easy but night time is the worst
    I think I'm so shocked this happened that I started spamming my tweets like crazy. My apologies
    Good morning to me and you all. This new static tone in my right ear didn't go away during the night. It wasn't just a nightmare after all..
    My 22nd birthday next week. I need to make it to this date. And I will walk in insanely loud downtown with earplugs in. I will celebrate it!
    I can't believe I got blasted by the loudest car in probably the whole city just 5 seconds before I got in my car...Just 5 seconds. I can't
    How am I supposed to sleep knowing that even protecting ears 24/7 wont help from getting more tones? I hate cars louder than 100db.Just why
    I have about 4-5 different tones and half of them 5 decibels and can be masked by simply removing earplugs, and the other half is 60db lmao
    Great. A new very faint tone. Every month I'm moving further away from hearing a true silence ever again lmao. I should protect better...
    Well. I have a new tone on the right ear. It's about 5db in loudness. Maybe less. Thank you loud car. Ugh. At least no need in habituation..
    I'm feeling okay today despite all the shit that happened yesterday. I am shocked 122 db car didn't spike my T or H...at least yet. Lucky!
    Pinhead
    Residual inhibition. The sound sometimes 'shocks' our systems into settling for a bit, or something like that.
    Gonna play games and watch anime as a cope strategy for my overwhelming stress and anger. I hope you all ppl are doing alright today :')

    @_Shoto_ What shows are you currently watching? Do you only watch dubbed, because as a sub enjoyer, I am already at level 100 when it comes to reading subtitles. :)

    Hi @Kiyomi! I have decided to rewatch Breaking Bad (nostalgia) and have also started a new comedy anime called Assassination Classroom. I usually watch the dub with subs on. This helps me keep the volume as low as possible while still understanding everything! I am also a pro now in reading subs :D
    Kiyomi
    @_Shoto_ I also did a Breaking Bad rewatch. :)
    There's zero countries where cars and motorbikes are banned. Zero. Only some neighborhoods in some European cities. I was born too early lol
    gameover
    There are some car-free islands.

    I kinda wish dogs were banned in city limits, particularly those outside ones. But then you have the mowers, lawn trimmers, leaf blowers, and everything else. Thank goodness for earplugs.

    I think Vienna is one of the few European cities that has massive no car zones.
    I'm considering never leaving the house unless necessary (pharmacy) or unless it's a nature preserve outside of the city. No stores/parks...
    Three of my last posts start with "I don't understand..." and that's actually true. I don't understand this world, these laws, and norms.
    I don't understand why there's no exhaust noise limit laws. I just don't. 122 decibels while parked. Foam earbuds block only 32 db max...
    I don't understand how ppl with nox leave their houses in USA. Foam earplugs won't help in 80% of situations. They are heroes in my eyes!
    I don't understand why some cars can produce the sound of 122 decibels while being PARKED. I was in foam earplugs but I'm not sure it helped
    Truck was parked right next to me when I was walking down the street and it made a noise of 122 DECIBELS. I want him dead. I'm not kidding.
    I am at small restaurant and the whole squad of teens entered right after me...Jesus Christ. 14 teens between 17-20. HAHAH my luck! :D
    In restaurant rn. 32db earplugs is not enough for me. Headache and ear pain. I feel sick and awful. I'm definitely not be able to hold a job

    I feel okay today. But I definitely can't go to a busy restaurants anymore. Just some fast food big chains alongside highway where 90% of ppl are going to drive-thru instead of going inside. Very sad because I loved buffets :c
    _Shoto_
    It's funny how I don't notice my moderate hyperacusis at home or parks but any real loud place and my head is going to explode even with foam earplugs. Goodbye restaurants lol. Thank god I still can tolerate big fast food chains where they have only 5-7 tables inside because everyone is going to drive-thru
    These past weeks I've been getting only 5 hours of sleep per night. I have to do something quick. I hope getting rid of window will help

    One more night of no sleep. I cannot understand how people can live in apartments. My neighbor #1 play games and screams slurs. Neighbor #2 and #3 left their dog on the balcony. It's 12am... I mentally can't take this anymore. 3 neighbors and all are awful pieces of shit :/

    I wish I had some family members that live somewhere in the mountain village that has population of 22 people. No motorbikes, ambulances, barking dogs from all 3 directions. Just a small house in a village with garden at backyard and a forest nearby

    Every day in a city is hell. And I don't have noxacusis. I can't imagine living in a city with nox...
    I'm planning putting 3 bookshelves next to window to block dogs kids music and motorcycles. All of this starts each day at ~5:40-6:00 am...
    If some of you considering moving to the apartment in USA, DON'T. Especially folks with nox. Everyone has dogs and speakers. Walls are thin!
    Why would Susan Shore refuse to test her Auricle device on herself if she has mild tinnitus? I don't understand her logic tbh
    1.5mg of clonazepam + 5mg of thc and I wasn't thinking abt T for 2 days. My Hyperacusis also went away for ~40 hours. Experimenting lol
    RunningMan
    Be very careful with that high dose benzo. I limit myself to 0.5 mg Lorazepam once every 3 days. And that Clonazepam dose you took is 6 times as potent and a much longer half life. People report tolerance building pretty quickly, even when taken only 2 or 3 times per week at a lower dose.

    Hi @RunningMan. Thanks for the comment but don't worry. I use clonazepam only once every 30-60 days, but at bigger dose. I want to keep tolerance as low as possible, but enjoy my T/H-free day as much as possible. Low doses do nothing and big ones upping tolerance very fast, so I would like to experiment with moderate doses once a month/two
    I wanted to see eclipse but my neighbor that moved in today let their dog to be on the balcony and its barks are at 76-82 db...God why. Why.
    Nothing is as refreshing as walking up at 2:23am because of jet engines in your ears...two days in a row. And my T is only 5/10 thakfully
    It's funny how all these years my city always had one mile of beach closed for cars. 10 yrs. But, they opened it for cars the month I got T!
    What a beautiful day. Warm, not windy. But all beaches in my city are open for cars and every single one is blasting music with barking dogs
    I decided to move my bed into my walk-in closet. I just have no choice. Peace was taken from me and I want it back. Discomfort over loudness

    It didn't work. I could hear my neighbors typing on their keyboard and breathing. I have no idea why they make walls from paper in the USA. I have been to many countries in Europe and I have never experienced anything like this. I didn't even know it was possible to make walls off paper/cardboard. Anyway, I'm just going to sleep on my back in earmuffs for gun shooting. Discomfort over pain
