Ah, the old appeal to emotions. We are talking about RFK Jr., not Elon. If the United States does not rein in its spending, there will not be money for anything except the interest on the national debt. So let us try to have a more serious conversation instead of petty gotchas.

What difference would value judgments make in relation to your question about how something is related to tinnitus? I am not the one calling the current admin a dictator or using words like fascist regime. Ask him that question, not me, unless of course you are just being partisan. I am sorry...

You would need to read the post I was responding to in order to understand why fascism was brought up in a tinnitus thread. I am curious why you took exception to my post but not theirs.

Let’s not get hysterical. The US is in serious trouble due to its current fiscal situation, including deficit spending and national debt. However, there is no fascist regime, nor will there be one, despite some of the more benign similarities—such as nationalism and a cult of personality—between...

Stanley, I am very sorry to hear about your suffering, and I want to thank you for your service in the United States armed forces. In the short term, I recommend reading some of @Michael Leigh's threads. Additionally, while I do not suggest donating to the American Tinnitus Association, they do...

Thank you for the kind words! I can’t take any credit for this as I had no involvement, but I’m thrilled to see something so similar take shape! I truly appreciate that you would consider me for involvement in the new venture. As a new, first-time parent, my hands are quite full, and I’m not...

I'm so happy to see my vision finally come to fruition—a dedicated, research-focused nonprofit built on the fundamental principle of transparency. After personal setbacks prevented me from moving forward before, this success fills me with a renewed dose of hope!

How stupid... I hope these are plants.

The Oxytocin studies showed great promise and then vanished off the face of the earth. I would love to know what in the heck happened to it. Was all of this made up? Because everyone with tinnitus should get a shot at this, even if it helps only some. It just seems fishy to me. → Oxytocin...

I don't think you understand the meaning of the word "directly." I won't argue back and forth about this, but you are wrong. → Collins Dictionary: Indirectly responsible The border bill was torpedoed because of foreign aid. If the Democrats wanted to secure the border, THEY would pass a CLEAN...

I agree 100%, but we are not limited to sitting tight. I'd encourage everyone with the capabilities, time, and resources to find something they can do to advance the cause, whether it's donating to their favorite researcher, writing their political representative, praying for a cure, etc.

Sort of. I mean, I don't think anyone rational who is living in Minnesota is going to buy insurance to protect from hurricanes. Which means some fears are rational and some are not. The use of earplugs can (and should) be a reasonable precaution and, at other times, can be an irrational fear...

I am very sorry for your suffering; I have suffered too. This line of thinking is very dangerous. There are plenty of good doctors and health practitioners out there.

I agree 100%. This appears to be the most effective, realistic, and practical treatment on the horizon. Compensated tinnitus is when tinnitus is not particularly intrusive.
