Can anyone suggest a cell phone that can be adjusted to 0 dB during a video call?
My inexpensive Samsung A10e cannot be turned down to a comfortable volume when starting a video call, which is why I can only use it for voice calls.
Are there any cell phones that don’t blast sound on...
I came down with some form of flu—possibly COVID-19, though I’m not sure.
On Day 5, I lost my sense of smell, which was replaced by a phantom smell (not surprising).
What are my chances of regaining it? Are the chances approximately the same, whether it’s COVID or the flu?
Anybody had a chance to fly the Airbus 321Neo?
How loud was the cabin noise compared to regular Airbus and/or other jetliners?
Was there any bad noises anytime during the flight?
Any car mechanics on the eastern US seaboard who could install a balance shaft chain tensioner and guides on my car- would very much help me out a fellow severe T sufferer.
Please let me know.

Hi all,
Does anybody have a bluetooth speaker that does not beep (or beeps very softly) upon power on/pairing? I bought a Marley Liberate, its an awesome speaker but cant use it as it makes a powerful boot up sound.
Thanks.
To add to my troubles, yesterday after some rigorous exercise with shoulders/upper body, I developed a sensation of crunching/clicking when I swallow. It's like the cartillage in my throat is rubbing against each other in the up and down swallowing motion. It is causing discomfort and pain.

Can you hear your tinnitus over a running faucet? (like a modern kitchen faucet)
(If yes, please explain in more detail how you hear it, on what strength of stream and if it's constant or periodic phenomenon), thanks.
In another thread Dr.Nagler stated his opinion:
Sure, [a drug] might aggravate tinnitus in x % of cases. The only way to know if it's going to aggravate your tinnitus is to take the drug and see. Maybe it will kick your tinnitus up a notch (or two or three); maybe it won't. Maybe your tinnitus...

I propose to write up a petition to the American Tinnitus Association to start investing a better part into potassium channel modulators. I mean why aren't they doing round the clock testing of every postassium modulator known to man? Almost every pre-clinical Potassium modulator trial is/was...

A poster has brought up an interesting argument about 90dB tinnitus that is no longer TRT-able.
I am wondering what the approximate threshold of this loudness is?
Is there anybody here with that knows his/her loudness match and did TRT with success?
