      Great. A new very faint tone. Every month I'm moving further away from hearing a true silence ever again lmao. I should protect better...

      Well. I have a new tone on the right ear. It's about 5db in loudness. Maybe less. Thank you loud car. Ugh. At least no need in habituation..

        Residual inhibition. The sound sometimes 'shocks' our systems into settling for a bit, or something like that.

        @_Shoto_ What shows are you currently watching? Do you only watch dubbed, because as a sub enjoyer, I am already at level 100 when it comes to reading subtitles. :)

        Hi @Kiyomi! I have decided to rewatch Breaking Bad (nostalgia) and have also started a new comedy anime called Assassination Classroom. I usually watch the dub with subs on. This helps me keep the volume as low as possible while still understanding everything! I am also a pro now in reading subs :D

      There's zero countries where cars and motorbikes are banned. Zero. Only some neighborhoods in some European cities. I was born too early lol

        I kinda wish dogs were banned in city limits, particularly those outside ones. But then you have the mowers, lawn trimmers, leaf blowers, and everything else. Thank goodness for earplugs.

        I feel okay today. But I definitely can't go to a busy restaurants anymore. Just some fast food big chains alongside highway where 90% of ppl are going to drive-thru instead of going inside. Very sad because I loved buffets :c

        It's funny how I don't notice my moderate hyperacusis at home or parks but any real loud place and my head is going to explode even with foam earplugs. Goodbye restaurants lol. Thank god I still can tolerate big fast food chains where they have only 5-7 tables inside because everyone is going to drive-thru

        One more night of no sleep. I cannot understand how people can live in apartments. My neighbor #1 play games and screams slurs. Neighbor #2 and #3 left their dog on the balcony. It's 12am... I mentally can't take this anymore. 3 neighbors and all are awful pieces of shit :/

        I wish I had some family members that live somewhere in the mountain village that has population of 22 people. No motorbikes, ambulances, barking dogs from all 3 directions. Just a small house in a village with garden at backyard and a forest nearby

      1.5mg of clonazepam + 5mg of thc and I wasn't thinking abt T for 2 days. My Hyperacusis also went away for ~40 hours. Experimenting lol

        Be very careful with that high dose benzo. I limit myself to 0.5 mg Lorazepam once every 3 days. And that Clonazepam dose you took is 6 times as potent and a much longer half life. People report tolerance building pretty quickly, even when taken only 2 or 3 times per week at a lower dose.

        Hi @RunningMan. Thanks for the comment but don't worry. I use clonazepam only once every 30-60 days, but at bigger dose. I want to keep tolerance as low as possible, but enjoy my T/H-free day as much as possible. Low doses do nothing and big ones upping tolerance very fast, so I would like to experiment with moderate doses once a month/two

        It didn't work. I could hear my neighbors typing on their keyboard and breathing. I have no idea why they make walls from paper in the USA. I have been to many countries in Europe and I have never experienced anything like this. I didn't even know it was possible to make walls off paper/cardboard. Anyway, I'm just going to sleep on my back in earmuffs for gun shooting. Discomfort over pain

        I still can't believe I'll have to live in this apartment for another year. Not only are there loud barking dogs in every single apartment, but there is also a motorcycle that passes by every single morning at 4:55 am. And HVAC units of the 2nd floor are right below my bedroom windows, which means it's always 70-75 db inside the room. This is so much hell for my ears. I want to live in forest somewhere in Vermont

      4 mg of clonazepam and I feel no change in tinnitus loudness/perception. I won't go higher. I had so much hope in benzos when I got them...
      1. RunningMan
        RunningMan
        4 mg is a huge dose. It's 16 times as potent as the benzo dose I take. It should help with anxiety when you first start using it, but it will build tolerance and become less effective when you take large doses frequently. And worse effects if you try to wean off.

        @_Shoto_ for what it’s worth, I think everyone or nearly everyone has visual snow in darkness. I think that’s fairly natural from what I’ve read. That being said, Trobalt isn’t very safe.
