    anyone here have experience taking cephalexin? was just prescribed it for an infection
    kingsfan
    Is that keflex, closely related penicillin? I think I took it early into my tinnitus. I don't remember having any issues, even with a penicillin allergy. Had to switch to doxycycline after 5 or 6 days though because it wasn't strong enough to kill the infection I had.

    Yeah cephalosporins appear to be okay for the most part. Middle ear inflammation has been reported, but reversible.

    theres a breeze today which is causing dappled shadows to dance on my windowpane. I miss being able to go outside with the wind on my face.
    Foamearplugssuck
    so pissed that I have to miss out on the greatest rap beef of all time because my ears are whiny little cry babies

    my mom is so loud I can hear her talking while wearing ear muffs on top of earplugs. lol.

    Question about your recent dentist visit, @Foamearplugssuck

    How was the occlusion effect with your earplugs on?

    Did you take frequent breaks? Curious about your gameplan
    Foamearplugssuck
    @ZFire The occlusion didn't bother me. I asked for a manual cleaning which was fine except for when they polished my teeth. it was really uncomfortable when they did my molars, so I just had them do my front few teeth quickly which was tolerable. I tried taking my plugs out to lessen occlusion but it made the sound worse for me.

    does anyone have experience using a walking pad/wfh treadmill? I want to get one but idk how quiet they are in reality.....
    cjbhab
    my actually treadmill is approx 67-68 db when operating running . the ones at the gym are quieter but much more expensive. a walking pad i cannot see being louder than a running treadmill.
    Foamearplugssuck
    @cjbhab helpful, thanks. I feel like a lot of times it depends on the frequency too...I guess the only way to know if it will bother my ears is to test one out.
    Foamearplugssuck
    FUCK foam earplugs its insane how I'm forced to endure severe excruciating pain in my ear canals just for a decent amount of protection
    Foamearplugssuck
    I miss taking showers so much. I'm so fucking sick of having to clean the tub every day for a bath. Hyperacusis so fucking annoying lol.
    HighleyTall
    I fill my bath with the spray-head in a washcloth and i put this in the bath. Can't stand the noise of water spraying in the bath.
    Foamearplugssuck
    I think the real win though is that my dentist knew what hyperacusis was and told me it would be no problem to work around it

    Huge uptick in T with Dentist @kingsfan They sell earplugs for dentists for hearing loss. Hopefully they realize that if they are getting hearing damage so are patients.
    Foamearplugssuck
    @kingsfan from what I've heard is that manual cleanings for noise sensitivity is a pretty common request so most dentists are used to it
    Foamearplugssuck
    @Marshall yeah I've had a couple of dentists who had tinnitus from their job. I read an article that came out recently saying that earplugs should be part of dental PPE so I think it's an issue that is slowly gaining more attention
    Foamearplugssuck
    good news: I don't need a filling! bad news: they don't know why I have tooth pain and need to do a cleaning!
    ZFire
    I have question about your dentist visit. Were you wearing ear protection during the whole thing. How was the occlusion effect for you?
    Foamearplugssuck
    update: dentist appointment is canceled due to weather. I'm equal parts relieved and pissed because I wanted to get it over with.
    Foamearplugssuck
    dentist tomorrow and accidentally worsened my setback by clinking a glass. hahahahhahahaha (if I don't laugh I will start violently sobbing)
    Foamearplugssuck
    likely need a root canal soon and my nox is pretty bad rn. torn between taking nitrous oxide or 1 mg of clonazepam beforehand. any input?
    ZFire
    Have no input on this, but it nice to see you pop back in here again.
    Foamearplugssuck
    @ZFire thanks man.....been a little absent because I was so preoccupied with work and everything, but I've missed it on here and know I can always find people who understand
    kingsfan
    I think you can ask them for both valium and nitrous oxide.
    Tryn2BHopeful
    This hyperacusis seems to be the worst part... If I have earplugs in its pretty quiet overall... I hear a static hisssssssssss... Ear plugs out...... HISSSSS, EEEEEEEE, HISSSSSS..... Hell it gets louder even when I talk its like its in a fight with me on who can be louder...
    kingsfan
    I've never dealt with hyperacusis, but when my tinnitus became a problem it would turn into a hiss with earplugs in. Sometimes I would just sit with earplugs in to get away from the ringing. Makes no difference now.
    Foamearplugssuck
    my hyperacusis is the worst its ever been and my boss is demanding to have a work meeting HA I'm so fucked lol
    KoolKat
    @Foamearplugssuck yep and the fact your easily replaceable with a person with no T or H, just adds a whole new level of stupid pressure. same goes with relationships. "wHy u dOnT eVer wanna go nowHere ur bOring," n the painful thing is, is that u cant even be mad. everything is just a blur. im ashamed 2 tell women i have this so i just disappear. my dad tells me everybody thinks im on drugs ROFL. they have no idea.
    KoolKat
    @Foamearplugssuck but anyway back to your employment and job issues lol, you should try learning programing, medical coder or try customer service from a AAA company remote. that way you can be in the comfort in ur own home but even sometimes that wont save u smh. and the reason i said programing instead of typical i.t, is cause u got to do internships and do helpdesk 4 years b4 u can do remote.

    Foam ear plugs do suck.

    Taking them out is a pain in the ass when they are deeply inserted. I need to use damn tweezers.

    Need to get a new pair of custom plugs ASAP
    sakrt
    I used to get that pain w/ badly done hearing aid molds. Certain materials, like pliable soft silicone made all the difference.
    ZFire
    I'll take a look into silicone
    Foamearplugssuck
    god. every day I wish I had normal problems. not that life would be easier, but it'd be nice to fucking leave the house once in a while
    KoolKat
    @Foamearplugssuck i already know thats daria as your pic, and that just brought back sweet memories of the good times in New york in the 90s commuting with mom around the city, coming home n watching MTV beavis and butthead the simpsons, daria and a slew of other things. does this bring u back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODoX5gTVQIQ I hope one day soon if we get cured we can relive moments our past

    @Foamearplugssuck thats why i hope susan shore device works cause i miss no i NEED MY OLD LIFE BACK. im actually about to head back to work so i can save and buy a crib in NJ. I would go to L.I but its 2 dam expensive. If i was rich id get a crib in Hoboken NJ or somewhere in the hudson county area
    Foamearplugssuck
    @KoolKat lol midtown has always been a crowded mess. I avoided it at all costs. LES now is very gentrified and overrun with bars and college kids. It's still fun, but I know it's not the same as it was which sucks.
    Foamearplugssuck
    @KoolKat Yeah NJ isn't too bad but the property taxes here are insane. Still cheaper than NYC/LI though
    Foamearplugssuck
    I've officially hit the four year mark of having tinnitus. Time flies when you're being fucked!

    @KoolKat It also sucks comparing myself to my friends. Got H right after I graduated college. Last summer they travelled to Europe together and have new, exciting jobs and opportunities. I stayed home in my room because of my ears.
    KoolKat
    @Foamearplugssuck Oh just wait until all your exes /old high school sweet hearts start having babies and Moving on. Time waits on no man which i understand but god dammit. oh just wait until your friends who went 2 europe move on from each other then ull be even more sad. cause now they all went their separate ways so u kno they not thinking bout you.
    KoolKat
    @Foamearplugssuck i remember back in 2015 i thought am101 was gonna cure me n i was going to make my epic return, and run NYC...yep and that was in 2015.....the women i vibed with b4 tinnitus are either married, or with kids. some washed some not. either way my high standards are now super low. just accept my tinnitus n my lack of ambition. im bout to get a hillbilly druggie chick a dog n call it a life.

    what bothers me most about t/h is knowing I will never reach my full potential. I will never become the musician I know I could be.

    Maybe you're not able to right now, but who's to say you can't become a better musician in the future? I hope you will continue to try, despite the difficulties caused by your ears.
    Foamearplugssuck
    @ECP thank you. I hope you're right. really that's what keeps me going - the thought being able to pursue music. It's my whole self and I can't give it up.
    ECP
    @Foamearplugssuck I totally feel what you're saying. I had certain goals and hopes for the future that were waylaid by T & H. What keeps me going is the hope that I can get to a place where I can pick up exactly where I left off and make up for lost time. For now, the number one goal is healing.

    I live in the midwest, which is generally quieter than a lot of other parts of the US. However, near my house is a priv airport where people keep their small airplanes. I'm currently sitting outside trying to read, and no exaggeration, I have heard airplanes fly by at least 30 times within an hour. So much for quiet suburbs!!
