Plenty of people suffer from tinnitus but don't even consider suicide. Having them talk with a professional or someone else that tried to commit suicide can help them mentally deal with the noise. Everyone's ability to deal with the condition is different.

Most of you in this thread are beyond hope of ever seeing more in the world than your narrow little vision allows. I'm out of here. This thread is nothing but an outlet for the liberals to bash conservatives. I'm not sure why I wasted any time in here.

BTW, those of you that use the name "Trumpers" are using a derogatory term that is both insulting and rude. A bit like someone calling a Latino a " wet back".

I respect Pence for standing up for what he believes, but I don't see a way forward for him as a candidate in 2024. Should be interesting to see if Trump runs again. I think he will if he thinks he has a good chance of winning.

What Rand Paul has to say about the situation. He always brings reason to the table. What he says is true. Sen. Paul decries Capitol riot as 'chaos and anarchy that needs to be stopped'

Looks like someone inside might have shot her through the window.

The whole shooting incident was live streamed. Can see below. WATCH: Woman Shot in U.S. Capitol, Live Stream Video Shows | Heavy.com

There was a young woman that was shot and killed at the Capitol building. Apparently she was near the window that was smashed. An officer or security of some kind apparently shot her. "When asked by bystanders what happened, the man explained that the altercation took place at the door of one...

I just got word that Antifa is there now.

Is anyone really surprised at what happened today? If you were then you haven't been paying attention. The Mayor of DC was supposedly preparing for this but did a very poor job, as always. Just like the other big cities that had riots this summer, the Mayors handled it very poorly. Tensions...

Come on man! Do you have to be so dramatic? I am married to a liberal now. You don't see me pulling out my gun and plugging her full of bullets.

LOL! I'm not saying what they are doing is good. I don't approve. But the left portrays all of the "prostests"from this summer, really just riots, as being "peaceful" The hypocrisy is strong in this one.

Certainly not against the constitution, so yeah. It does set a dangerous precedent though. If that happens, how many people are going to be on the SCOTUS in another 20 years? Will it be 25 people? IMO it needs to be kept the size it has been for awhile now, at 9. The party in power could...

Oh, I suppose so but that would be if my heart is much weaker than it is now. Being young has saved my life. If I had been 70 years old with the heart attack I suffered, I would have died the day I had it. I was only 38. If I get near to that point I will be on the transplant list. The biggest...

What were the bad side effects? So that's 1 out of 50, or 2%.

Do you see them burning their own cities down? Do you see them looting and attacking police? Do you see them taking over city blocks and not allowing any EMTs in? One teen died from a gunshot in that liberal "city" they formed out west. He died because they wouldn't let EMTs enter.

The Republicans did "play fair". They had the majority in the Senate both times. When you have the majority you are going to be able to control nominees. If a Supreme Court Justice dies or retires now then the Democrats have their turn.

Please, lol. Democrats do it too. Look at Maxine Watters encouraging Democrats to confront Conservatives wherever they find them. Some politicians were driven out of restaurants like they were villains.

Man that would be hard on me too. I'm an audiophile with a nice set of Martin Logan electrostats. Reminds me of people like Robin Williams that had Lewy Body Dementia. He had a lot of psychological problems prior too. He reached the breaking point.

No, not really. At least not without a warning. It has an audible alarm that goes off if something is really wrong, like a broken lead. My old one went off as a warning that it only had about 6 months time on the battery. That was freaky! It sounded like a truck was backing up in my bedroom...

So you support increasing the number of members in the SCOTUS? These days it seems as if the Supreme Court has taken up legislation duties too.

I agree. McConnell should have let the senate vote to confirm Garland. Garland would not earn enough votes and would have been rejected anyhow. The Democrats did not have enough votes. Totally different situation than we just had with RBG because the Republicans had the majority. I guess...

That was a different kind of battle. I don't believe either side alleged fraud. Maybe I'm wrong. I thought it all came down to "hanging chads". I never said Trump didn't spend too much, did I? He didn't spend as much as Obama though, not including the response to the worst pandemic in 100...

I'm just going by a poll that was run. I can't remember who did it, but it might have been Pew. Results showed about 45% of voters in the US believed there was some significant fraud. I think that wasn't meant to indicate that they necessarily thought it flipped the election, but that there was...

True, I'd rather die on the table. I'm not ready to die yet though. I've got too many things to see and do! For now I think I'm just going to try my higher dose of Mexiletine, see if that works ok. It helps to calm my fears knowing I have my implanted defibrillator. It's like having my own...

Life is all about adapting. You have to do the things you can and try to not worry about what you can't do and what's wrong with you. Focus on what you can do. I've learned to tune out my tinnitus. With my heart failure my entire life seems to have changed. I was into bodybuilding and had to...

Do you feel like the whole COVID-19 situation has made it worse? I'm going to guess you have been dealing with your ear problems for more than 1 year. Have things gotten worse since the lockdown?

Thanks. My tinnitus is actually over 30 years old now, and gotten slowly worse. A lot of it was probably my fault. Loud stereos and concerts. I also used to sunbathe a lot too and developed skin cancer. My stapedial myoclonus is what is new. Luckily it seems to have mostly stopped! That...

The courts do not want to set a precedent by weighing in on an election. From my knowledge, that has never happened before. Two Supreme Court Justices did vote to hear a case though.

Yeah, screw the federal deficit. We can just print us some more money!

The night time is when they pull out suitcases full of ballots. Of course they count at night! :)

My family won't see a penny.

95 % to 100% for Biden is neither predictable nor logical.

Yep, and then expect us to come and save them.

Many on the left are multimillionaires too, and many made it off of politics.

Certainly said out of anger. During the last 4 years some liberals have been rooting for Trump to fail and doing everything they could to make him fail.

Yes, I've heard that too. It's good to know. The CCP detests Trump though and was very excited when Biden was declared victor.

70 million Americans believe what I do. So I guess half of America is dumb and deplorable. Democrats are just so much more intelligent. I probably wouldn't even be on this thread if Trump had won. Even if the Democrats cheated but didn't win, I'd not be here either. I am here because I and so...

This challenge is nothing new. Democrats did it in 2016. It just didn't get much press. They still won't admit they lost! Now die-hard Clinton loving Democrats plan to challenge the validity of Trump's electoral college win as it is ratified by Congress

The Democratic voter has much less control over picking their nominee than Republicans do. It's a fact.

Sure, that dossier bought and paid for by the DNC and the Clintons was legit. :woot:

I am not talking about voting by mail if it is an absentee ballot. I wrote that earlier. What most Republicans are worried about are states like Pennsylvania that did mass mailings of ballots to registered voters. I've got zero issues with absentee ballots, those are requested and sent to the voter.

Mine is loud enough that I can hear it over everything really. The shower is about the only place where I can't hear it. I've been foolish going to concerts without wearing ear plugs. It's gotten worse because of that. I think I'll still go to concerts, but wear earplugs from now on. I'm just...

I'm considering rolling the dice again and do another surgery. If I keep getting stuck in ventricular tachycardia then I will do it. It's just scary knowing I could go in to surgery and not come out alive. Early death after the procedure around 5%...

There seems to be some neural communication both afferent and efferent between the brain and the organs in the ear. I think this explains why people like me also suffer from myoclonus in the middle ear muscles.

With the Democrats and their superdelegates, he never had a chance even from the beginning.

The right shows more support for the Jewish people than the left does. This antisemitism is just like the racism that so many claim the right has. The Democratic Party lost more minority votes this election than it ever has. Many folks are finally starting to see through the race baiting.

Bernie got crushed in the primaries both times. He wouldn't stand a chance in the general. He would probably do well if he were running in a European country.

I used to have a few glasses of red wine many nights and that helped mine a lot. Now I can't because the alcohol will throw my heart into ventricular tachycardia. I'm screwed either way.

How is it making it hard for people to vote by asking them to show an official photo ID at the polling place? Everyone needs to have photo ID for everyday life. People needed a photo ID to get into DNC conventions. How is asking people to mail in a request for an absentee ballot making it hard...

You can't really brag about the turnout for Democrats in the 2020 election. Most of the turn out was for the Republicans. The Democrats had more votes by mail in. The question is, were all of those legit? Much harder to stop fraud with mail ins. That's why most countries in the world won't use...

No, not at all. In this case there is some evidence that there might be a significant problem and there were mass mailings going on over many states. The 2016 election was conducted as all others have been. The 2020 election was nothing close to normal

The polls showed Biden with a huge margin of victory. Some double digits! Lol. Look at all of the polls that showed Hillary stomping a mud hole in Trump. Those polls are either very poorly conducted or just part of the media's voter disenfranchisement tactics to make Republicans despair and not...

Yeah, I know China and Iran celebrated big time when Biden "won". An Iranian official was on camera crying tears of joy.

Mass mailing of ballots needs to stop. Mail in ballots should only be legal if the voter requests one via absentee ballot. I'm pretty sure that mass mailings aren't allowed in most states. It's the states that did mass mailings that have the biggest fraud. Responsible people tried to stop the...

But Hillary didn't lose fair and square. It was because of Russian interference!

Thanks! The article says that the cochlear implant seems to be the way to go. I'd also think that almost all cases of the 8th cranial nerve being severed resulted from surgery for things like tumors. So a majority of patients had no improvement. I wonder if scientists have any idea how this...

Really? That makes no sense to me. If that's the case, then in some people the problem lies in the temporal lobe of the brain itself and has little to do with the ear apparatus. Do you have any links for us to read? I'd really like to see that. Contradicts what I thought. That also means there...

Yes, that shows that most people follow in the footsteps of their parents. It's not a sure thing, my wife is an example, but it is a strong influence. I still remember my grandmother telling me how much she hated FDR.

Half of America won't. Believe it or not, Trump has fans all over the world. Take a look at Israel. How you feel about him isn't how the whole world feels.
