Carry on like normal. I worked for a commercial mower and the owner didn't want us to wear any ear protection so we could hear what was happening with the machines. I did listen to music with my earbuds though

It varies from a high-pitched whistle, to a buzzing, a wavering in intensity combination of the whistle/buzzing and at times sounds exactly like cicada. When I went outside to watch the eclipse today and it reached totality somebody said the cicada had started to make that noise. It had been...

The possibility exists your friend has a hearing problem himself and isn't aware of how loudly he's actually talking.

Where I live is at around 98% totality. I've got a pair of Shade 14 goggles and am getting ready to get out my lawn chair and make an afternoon of it. It was cloudy all morning but the sky has cleared and I'm going to watch it from beginning to end.

It's the luck of the draw as to what kind of doctor you'll get when going to the ER. I could tell a real horror story about an ER visit and the doctor that saw me. A lot of them are used to people coming in seeking drugs so he might have wrongly pegged you for that or not been sufficiently...

I worked in the mental health field for a number of years. Crisis lines are usually manned by volunteers who work in various positions at the local mental health department, group homes, or something of the like. A doctor isn't going to spend his "valuable" time on the phone trying to talk...

Cicada, or what we also call locust, is what mine sounds like a lot of the time. A combination high-pitched whistle/buzzing that wavers in intensity. In the summer I can never tell if it's my tinnitus or if they're really out and making that noise. A long time ago I told somebody it sounded...

Video games got me through more hard times than I care to think about. I was able to get into the game to a point where hours passed effortlessly without me noticing it and played from the time I woke up till I fell out from exhaustion. Though I do use headphones I would not do so if I was...

Your reading comprehension must leave room for improvement, and I'm not wading through a wall of text. I don't think God wants anyone to commit suicide and if you think otherwise then there is no point in further discussion on the issue. I'm not going to change my viewpoint, doubt you will...

That's great to hear, I'm glad for you.. There is also something called Accupressure, where you apply pressure to relative points on the bodies meridian lines, that people might find worth researching.

Since you brought up the subject of God and suicide... I believe you've got it wrong but will let you do your own reading: https://www.openbible.info/topics/suicide

Things could be worse.

It didn't strike me as being negative at all. A lot of people with the same problem looking for a solution and voicing how it affects their lives. Like fishbone, I've seen much worse.

Thanks, but no. Let the thread stand the way it is. I can't see his post now anyway since I've put him on ignore and they probably serve a purpose in some way. I have never tried anything to remedy my tinnitus mainly because I don't trust doctors and place my trust in another entity. I've...

I neglected to mention that the person I knew from another forum that committed suicide did so with his mothers approval. I honestly can't remember what disease he had but he had it from birth. I do know it affected him severely and was only going to get worse with time. For his mother to...
