    Ear Infection and Cipro

    Hey guys, yesterday went to my ENT and I have a small ear infection going on. He prescribed me Cipro ear drops, but I read about the horror stories and now I don't wanna take it... I've been able to cope with T and habituate by now, so it would be terrible if it got worse. So, any safe...

    Listening to Music

    Anything below 80db is safe for long periods. After 80db, long exposure can cause damage. At least according to The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). See http://dangerousdecibels.org/education/information-center/decibel-exposure-time-guidelines/ So yeah, anything...

    Long Car Trip Questions

    Hey guys, thanks for the recommendations! Haha I'm at the beach now, the trip went just fine. It took 11h and I did not wear any protection. T is the same. No spikes. Today I had some scares though, first a Helicopter passed right on top of my head, twice. Was quite loud! I mean, wasn't really...

    Long Car Trip Questions

    It wasn't noise induced. I had a depression/stressful situation going on back then, and T started out of the blue. Did many hearing tests and all they say is I have normal hearing.

    Long Car Trip Questions

    Hey guys! Hope you're all doing alright. So, it's been almost 2 years since I got T, and I have good days and bad days... spikes come and go, just the usual stuff. I'm a little worried right now, because next week I'm taking off to a long car trip (8-9h) to stay a week on vacation (beach, sun...

    Yeah, that's my main concern with headphones, I never know when it's loud, all volumes seems to be loud since it's so close to your ears. haha For now I'm sticking with my macbook speakers, it's not that effective, but when I want to enjoy some "silence" I turn it on on low volume and it kinda...

    On May 9th, My Dream Will Come True!

    Oh yeah! I was waiting for that game. haha It'll be awesome to play a game knowing that someone with T was able to take a role on its development. I keep telling people that this condition shouldn't change the way you live, nor keep you from doing what you love or follow your dreams. I have T...
