    Looking for a Phone with Adjustable Low Volume for Video Calls

    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...

    Loss of Sense of Smell from COVID-19/Flu — What Are My Chances of Recovery?

    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?

    Antibiotics? Tinnitus Spikes?

    Amoxicillin is not less effective for Lyme from my research. Actually Doxycycline doesn't kill Lyme, it disrupts their reproduction, so you take it long enough (28 days) to eradicate it all by not allowing it to multiply. Amoxicillin (14 days) kills Lyme by disrupting the cell membranes.

    Cruise ships have blaring air horns. According to internet sources, up to 180 dB! If you happen to be on deck or boarding when they blast it, you are basically dead. Not sure how loud it is being inside the ship, but I'm guessing still loud.
