Notably mild day.

Keith Handy · Jun 2, 2021

My ears are Play-Doh, and every sound that touches them leaves an indentation.

Keith Handy · Jun 1, 2021

Sound is swishy, wispy, non-threatening at the moment.

Keith Handy · May 28, 2021

My heart went into afib and I can definitively say I want that fixed more urgently than I want my ears fixed.

Keith Handy · May 27, 2021

@Tezcatlipoca - I think a lot of times it's about the number of tones switched on at the same time, rather than overall gain.

Weird, it quieted down in the last hour of my shift. That's normally when it rages.

Keith Handy · May 19, 2021

I think the "sand on glass" sound is a misfiring of how we would normally hear crisp transients at the beginnings of certain sounds.

All my life, I've managed to get away with stupid mistakes. I just want to get away with one more, and I promise I'll stop being stupid.

I have an "eqillibrium state" that comes and goes at semi-regular intervals. I could live with it if it stayed that way.

Keith Handy · May 15, 2021

Reactive whistle changed from ~1600 Hz to ~2500 Hz. Not better or worse.

Keith Handy · May 14, 2021

There should be auditory rehabilitation retreats. Barring that, an apartment I can afford without the Worst Possible Neighbor (TM).

Sorry you are going through a hard time...

Keith Handy · May 13, 2021

Had such a calm sound yesterday, especially in the left ear. Now it seems shrill again; will probably be back-and-forth for a while.

Keith Handy · May 10, 2021

I generally don't see ultra-long term (decades) sufferers mentioning reactivity or wild moment-to-moment fluctuations.

Keith Handy · May 7, 2021

If I heal, I'm going full Richard Nixon* on this phase of my life. (*think erased tapes)

Keith Handy · May 6, 2021

Never expected to coin the term "former audiophile."

Keith Handy · May 6, 2021

Is "neuromodulation" a legit concept or a hocus-pocus buzzword?

Keith Handy · May 4, 2021

Even if this hadn't happened, life would suck right now - but it would be a more manageable suck, which I would take in a heartbeat.

Keith Handy · May 3, 2021

Wish I could make recordings of what I'm hearing, so I could compare them.

Keith Handy · May 1, 2021

Wishing everyone comfort and hope, in whatever form they may take.

Keith Handy · Apr 28, 2021

Clarity still comes and goes.

Keith Handy · Apr 27, 2021

Every tone I have is *part time*. It's only the staggered shifts that keep the business open 24/7.

Keith Handy · Apr 27, 2021

Come on, brain, body, whatever... I know you can do this.

Keith Handy · Apr 26, 2021

The best success stories are the ones where you can find older posts that show how real the struggling was.

Keith Handy · Apr 26, 2021

Wishing everyone some natural improvement while we wait for the science to happen.

Keith Handy · Apr 25, 2021

Why did evolution give birds regenerating hair cells? This in addition to seeing more colors... not to mention FLYING. Lucky bastards.

Keith Handy · Apr 23, 2021

Trend over the past week or two: it sounds more "broken," esp. at work. Maybe life can get better.

Keith Handy · Apr 22, 2021

Reminder to self: in February, my auditory system was playing loops & echoes... hair cell loss alone wouldn't do that. That stopped.

Keith Handy · Apr 22, 2021

I suppose it's a little more "broken up" sounding than a month ago. Ugly and distracting nonetheless.

Keith Handy · Apr 21, 2021

Dear brain: You and I both want the same thing: crisp, clean treble. But the "faking it" isn't working. Focus on the real stuff.
