    Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19) and Tinnitus

    All I did was ask you to not downplay this. You decided not to. You can hope I "come to my senses" all you want. What you can do is - 1- get off your high horse. most of the medical and science community is in agreement that it is much more dangerous and easier to spread than the flu. The...

    Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19) and Tinnitus

    @Sevv honestly part of what scares me is that we know so little about it! But I trust in the fact that we have people actively working around the clock to help not only stop the spread but see what the hell they can do about the long-termers. It is and has been difficult but I am hopeful! I keep...

    Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19) and Tinnitus

    Thank you Michael! I am trying to stay positive and not worry as much. Hoping for more answers after he's admitted but it's been extremely overwhelming with these random symptoms popping up out of nowhere and seemingly getting worse.

    Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19) and Tinnitus

    Bill this is not the flu and you are wrong. It is easier to catch than the flu and it is impacting younger people with complications that the flu does not. If you want to be insensitive and a sanctimonious piece of shit feel free free. Fuck you.

    Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19) and Tinnitus

    My healthy late 20s brother who had COVID-19 in April just had his 12th seizure last week because of it. He has had severe stomach issues and developed a heart condition as well because of this. He will be admitted within the coming weeks because the seizures aren't stopping even on anti-seizure...

    The same party of Pro-Veterans that want to discount mail-in ballots---What about active members of the military? Their votes don't matter either I guess.

    Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19) and Tinnitus

    Thanks so much Ed! I really hate to sound whiny, but I really just hate feeling helpless and like there isn't anything I can do to help him. It sucks. I couldn't begin to imagine how he feels or how someone feels right now who's lost someone to COVID-19. I know wishing things go 'back to normal'...

    Has Anyone's Tinnitus Ever COMPLETELY Gone Away?

    I don't know anyone personally, but a musician I follow on Twitter, Juliana Hatfield, recently tweeted that her had gone away after quite some time.

    Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19) and Tinnitus

    My brother had it back in April, he is in his late 20's. He has no preexisting health conditions. Since testing positive in April, he has tested negative 8 times. In the past few months he has had severe migraines, stomach pain, insomnia (3 hours max a night), labored breathing, low grade fever...

    2020 US Presidential Election

    Let me just ask; Why do so many white supremacists love Trump? Why has hate crime violence risen? As far as Trump goes; he was sued in the 70's for lying to black applicants who wanted to rent at his apartments. He would lie and say he had none available when their were. He straight up...

    Hi! It's not overblown. Wearing a mask is literally[/I ]the least we can do to help ourselves and others slow the spread. As far as who it affects, my 27-year-old healthy brother got COVID-19 in April and he still experiences awful symptoms more days than not. If you don't agree with wearing a...

    1) Most clips of peaceful protests I have seen most people have been wearing masks. I have seen some also where they aren't and believe I would much prefer they were. People I know that have gone to rallies have all worn masks. As a democrat I can tell you that i want a mandatory mask order. Its...

    We agree that humans aren't perfect. I think some people can change. A priest who uses a child's faith and their own power/role in the church to lure and violently molest them. You think I care that some diocese's closed? What does that matter? I sincerely hope any church that facilitated...

    I was taught priests were vessels of god. OH THANK GOD SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN PROSECUTED! Just for clarity, this was after the church (your gods church) helped shuffle them around to hide them, right? This was decades after the church and its leaders were well aware that priests have been...

    Anyone else find it strange that while other Presidents and nominees supported Planned Parenthood, that it is a Black Woman in a position of power that is called the Antichrist? Other politicians have supported Planned Parenthood as well but they arent the Antichrist?

    Also I want to be clear on two things; I am extremely sorry for misrepresenting facts in the previous post and conflating multiple stories. I want there to be police in the world and think there is value and a need for them. I just think the police force as we know it needs to be changed very...

    just to follow up on the smearing..do you remember months ago when a cop complained someone took a bite of his burger and went to the news about it? Trying to smear fast food workers? He later admitted he took the bite and forgot, the dept was behind him and believed him. Remember the cop that...

    I dont disagree and even in an earlier post (i think at least) I mentioned one of the biggest things they have to do is a better job at screen/recruiting. I disagree with smearing. How about the smearing of innocent black lives by the police and media after they are wrongfully killed? The head...

    2020 US Presidential Election

    That all raises good points, and I sincerely thank you for passing that along, it was a good read. But it does not combat the fact that unions are (at least partially) what prevent officers who commit crimes while in the line of duty from being punished or let go from the job. Between this and...

    Saying that Black people are naturally uncivilized and Savages would be racist. Saying that they are a product of their environment and that the world is an unfair place would not be. Sorry you feel that way. I hope you have a nice day.

    Both of these posts have some awesome points. They also have to end qualified immunity. If they reallocate funds to social programs and stop sending police military grade gear, end police unions, and end qualified immunity, these things could save a lot of innocent lives. Not to mention the...

    They were neighbors and Epstein/Maxwell spent a lot of time at Mar-A-Lago. Trump has, in interviews previous to his 2016 campaign, stated that he and Jeffrey were friends and had been close for 15 years. Trump has also stated that he was aware that Jeff liked younger women.

    New Trial: An fMRI investigation of the Effects of Lidocaine on Tinnitus

    I am semi-ambidextrous so that made me nervous as well. I am going to wait and see, apologies I should have pressed a bit on why this question was part of the screening. When I hear from them next I will try to remember to ask and pass this along!

    New Trial: An fMRI investigation of the Effects of Lidocaine on Tinnitus

    Just got off the phone. It was about 20 minutes in total. They start by asking if you have any questions. They did confirm they will be using standard fMRI machines and not a silent one unfortunately. But they did say they will be using noise cancelling headphones... I don't know if anyone has...

    When I had Ramsay Hunt I had to have back-to-back brain MRI's. Definitely not something I would say is enjoyable for sure. Yeah I have been weighing what to do. The two I had a few years ago didn't really impact my tinnitus but it wasn't exactly something I would run back to to try again. Tough...

I was/am nervous about it as well because I am not a fan of MRI's (the study involves having 2 of them)...

    Why So Little Awareness of Tinnitus?

    I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like a large portion of why more isn't done/known about tinnitus is because it's not looked at as something as debilitating or life altering. The general consensus among the public feels like it's viewed as an inconvenience more than anything.

    I get the rationale behind the theory. But at the end of the day Kayne West wants eyes on him. Wait it out and at the end of this road if there isnt a new song/video/album/clothing to promote after all this I would be shocked. Thats all there is to him.

    Poll: Do You Mask Your Tinnitus When You Sleep?

    I always mask it when I sleep. Originally, I just turned an air filter on for some background noise, but it was too far/quiet to mask it or make any difference. In order to actually mask the T to a point where it isnt a bother I need the noise right in my ears. I now use a sleepmask that has...

    Poll: Do You Think You Would Still Have Depression If You Didn't Have Tinnitus?

    I think I would be less depressed for sure. I had depression pre-tinnitus.

I miss being able to read a book without having...

    Alcohol Quiets Down My Tinnitus

    When I first developed Tinnitus, I tried to avoid drinking because I noticed a bit of a spike if I was hungover or dehydrated. Having said that, it's great after a couple beers or a nice whiskey. I do also LOVE gin and tonic so reading that quinine causes it is a tragedy that I think I may need...
