I hate people who whistle. It drives me nuts. Especially when they make the bird sounds.

My tinnitus sometimes actually calms down after eating.

Doogie Howser-looking motherfucker! Ben Thompson deleted my YouTube comment and the link that was posted here in regards to TRT vs. Standard of Care.

I'm in my 8th year and not even close to any form of habituation. I'm glad it works for some.

Well, another interesting real-life tale today. A housekeeper where I work is a musician, and so are his brothers. One of them developed chronic tinnitus. He saw a "medical professional" who gave him the whole Liam Stops Tinnitus dietary crap BS. He only wound up with other health issues from...

Where did I say women did not suffer just as badly? I was referring to the female doctor trying to pressure me into taking medications by creating doom-and-gloom scenarios & very aggressively so. There may be a chicken-and-egg scenario when it comes to blood pressure and tinnitus. Is it the...

I scored high on THI, too; it's a joke. Even though the "handicap" part is supposed to demonstrate disability, good luck getting anyone to acknowledge it. Like all the 'pros" say, it's only a benign sound. My wife told me 2 days ago, when I was having a bad spike, that my left ear was really red...
