I hate people who whistle. It drives me nuts. Especially when they make the bird sounds.

My tinnitus sometimes actually calms down after eating.

Doogie Howser-looking motherfucker! Ben Thompson deleted my YouTube comment and the link that was posted here in regards to TRT vs. Standard of Care.

I'm in my 8th year and not even close to any form of habituation. I'm glad it works for some.

Well, another interesting real-life tale today. A housekeeper where I work is a musician, and so are his brothers. One of them developed chronic tinnitus. He saw a "medical professional" who gave him the whole Liam Stops Tinnitus dietary crap BS. He only wound up with other health issues from...

Where did I say women did not suffer just as badly? I was referring to the female doctor trying to pressure me into taking medications by creating doom-and-gloom scenarios & very aggressively so. There may be a chicken-and-egg scenario when it comes to blood pressure and tinnitus. Is it the...

Same here. A female doctor filling in for my GP tried to push blood pressure medications on me as well. The other crock of shit in regards to tinnitus is; "it's in your brain, not in your ears." If that's the case, why does my wife see my left ear turning red and purple on a spiky day, and an...

Pretty cool.

Argyle. 2 plus hours I will never get back...

My interstitial cystitis did not rob me of playing music...

I work in health care. I was asking someone for a reference to a psychologist to help me cope. Someone overheard me, and may offer to help. 1. What further is there to lose? 2. It's 100% covered under my two insurance plans.

I'm curious about this, too.

I have both interstitial cystitis and tinnitus. Tinnitus is far worse (in my case, anyhow).

We learn a lot on forums, like current 'treatments" do not work for everyone, and not everyone will be able to habituate. I love the way clinicians or anyone wanting to "sell" you their treatments say to stay away from the internet. They know dammed well that we will share the truth. Why should...

I scored high on THI, too; it's a joke. Even though the "handicap" part is supposed to demonstrate disability, good luck getting anyone to acknowledge it. Like all the 'pros" say, it's only a benign sound. My wife told me 2 days ago, when I was having a bad spike, that my left ear was really red...

Waiting for 8 track :beeranimation: :D :p

Tinnitus drove me to drink which I have tapered off because it never did much. I use gummies to help me sleep at times.

I watched the new Aquaman. It was what I expected; great sound and visuals if you have a nice home theater system. As far as acting and plot, well you know...

Another mindless classic "The Enforcer," starring Antonio Banderas. I commented on my other topic "Actors That Have Played in Terrible Movies."

Not sure if it's a male actor aging thing, Antonio Banderas has now joined the ranks.

True. For shits and giggles, I decided to contact an audiologist that charged me $300.00 back in the early days for a "Tinnitus Assessment" which was basically a hearing test (which is free at most places) and an acoustic reflex test. He was really pushing to sell me $4,000.00 aids. Which I was...

Insurance company being dirt bags... that never happens... :eek: :cool: :p :D

I agree with some of what Michael says. But also some of it not so much. I think the biggest issue is how he handles criticism. I have heard elsewhere how blood pressure can influence tinnitus.

Not bad. Unfortunately, for actually playing music like electronic drums with volume control, not so much. I guess @Michael Leigh has a point. To a certain degree, even with protection, vibrations through bone can still aggravate things and cause spikes. For simpler things, like flying and...

I used my OTO's for a flight this past June...

There is a new TV show that's kinda like Dragon's Den where people present products and ideas. A panel has to decide whether it's legit or snake oil. Perhaps Pawel Jastreboff, Julian Cowan Hill, Dr. Bruce Hubbard, Ben Thompson etc should all demonstrate their tinnitus "treatments..."

I find this interesting. Why are vets allowed to get disability but we are not? Is war tinnitus different than regular tinnitus? You figure any lawyer would be able to win this...

My baseline has returned. However, I still get fluctuating days from insane to tolerable...

Yep, yesterday @ work, an old building, that we were looking after, had some kind of really loud & high-pitched squeal with a flashing strobe type light on top of the constant ringing bell. Today is hell!

There is someone @ my work that suffers from tinnitus and tried Neurofeedback but was not successful. Since his tinnitus was the result of a work injury, it was covered by WCB.

Ultra douche bag! Last week, I was referred, for an unrelated matter, to the same ENT I saw when I got tinnitus back in 2017. He was like "what can I help you with?" I then brought up that my GP wanted me to have this looked at, and that I was still struggling with tinnitus. He rudely responded...

Another intellectual epic battle. Who will take home the Oscar! :rockingbanana: :cat: :puppykisses:

Same with electronic drums. I rented a Roland drum kit last week. I was playing with the volume just above the pads in Yu6 powered speakers, with my custom 0.15 musician OTO earplugs in my ears. I may as well have been in a jam space on a regular drum kit without any hearing protection, from the...

I still do and on my deck as well.

Speakers...

I thought living in eternal torment was for those who sinned & refuted the "lord". Perhaps I missed something...

Awwwww. Doogie has a fan how cute :puppykisses:

Still is 6 years later.

LOL, I have a funny story. About 6 years ago I was eating in the local Mall's food court with my wife. Someone came up and asked if I was Brad Pitt. LOL! My brother once told me I reminded him of Keanu Reeves. I got that comparison as well in my 30s when I shaved my head like he looked in...

@Jerad had some good ones, like him vs. his parents @ the same age :LOL: :headphone:

So was Liam Neeson. We are talking about good actors that have cheezed out. Same can be said for De Niro and others previously mentioned.

I do rendering art. This is my new beast. 13th gen i7, 64GB system ram, RTX 4090, liquid cooled.

I watched Bruce Willis in another recent movie abut being some assassin's mentor. You can see his speech decline. He's going to milk it until his last brain cell is fried...

Tinnitus is a phantom sound so that would make him the phantom menace :cat: :D :p

Just like Lenire was going to be the saviour. Isn't there a forest where people can go to die like in the Matthew McConaughey movie? Cheaper than VAD...

Yes and with a full 7.1.4 audio system to boot.

You said it best. That's what tinnitus has turned him into. I have posted many posts contradicting some of his "advice" with evidence. One can search my posts. No point in repeating myself. At some point it really does become of trying something over & over again expecting different results...

@Michael Leigh is like that persistent little crudlet that's stuck to your shoe. You think you wiped it off, but then you get poo smearing on your carpet all the same. Unfortunately, he is not the only one, others out there think they are smarter then people who actually studied and are...

$40,000 was not enough. With all the charlatans out there who were more than happy to take his $$ with nothing in return, it does once again prove that TRT & CBT snake oil does not work in many cases. All we need now is Cowan Snake (Julian Cowan Hill) or Doogie (Ben Thompson) to make a video...

Turns out Bruce has dementia :eek:

I get facial muscle spasms during the night. I sometimes feel my mid section vibrating when it's really bad. But hey, we're are negative and it's all in our minds. My GP is a useless fuck.

All William Shatners.

A commission for a client.

Colin Farrell was hilarious in In Bruges.

It's a tricky one. Some days are calmer, but on the next day I can feel as @AnthonyMcDonald put it once; being skinned alive.

Thx all.

At least they are known. I remember Bill Maher said a while back "DVDs are for losers." Referring to the male stereotype who collected mindless action movies on DVD when it was a thing. Now just save the files...

I'm watching King of Tulsa. He is old. I think he got divorced again.

Nahh, it's a lot more intense for that type quality. My two rigs are 5-year-old i7 10 core 64 GB tower with a 2080 TI graphics card and a newer 12th gen i7 16 GB laptop with a RTX3070 TI. The program is called DAZ 3D which is free but then you acquire content to build scenes from scratch. I have...
