So, Rob just this minute smashed a glass on the worktop whilst I was standing right there. There is no hope for my ears at the moment. I give up. 
And no. I wasn't wearing any protection. I managed to cook dinner and wash up without an issue, then within five minutes of him entering the kitchen, my ear are subjected to noise and pain...

I'm sorry Steph. This is our life.So, Rob just this minute smashed a glass on the worktop whilst I was standing right there. There is no hope for my ears at the moment. I give up.
As I said before, no matter how hard we try, things like this will always happen.
I dropped my phone on the floor yesterday. My phone survived but my ears almost didn't make it.
It's so frustrating that small accidents have such a big impact on us...

Kick him in the nuts every time he has an accident!So, Rob just this minute smashed a glass on the worktop whilst I was standing right there. There is no hope for my ears at the moment. I give up.
That will teach him...
She had 3 shots, and apparently COVID-19 3 times
Did you take any Juan?
Eh, I mostly avoid this subject now, because it was never my intention to become "the (anti) vax/vaccine guy" here, or in the IRL world.
It was just that virology was one of my favourite branches of science when I was at school.
I for real used to read the sections on viruses and bacteria in my school textbooks for fun while the other boys were playing football (not American, and definitely not "soccer") at breaktimes. So when the novel coronavirus was announced (2 years ago) it took my (nostalgic) interest, and I couldn't help but weigh in with my opinion.
But it feels like a dead subject now, so I've moved on, and so should all of you (at least until China, Bill Gates and co, "accidentally" release another more deadly virus << video can no longer be found on YouTube
).But for what it's worth, yes. Two people I know have ended up in hospital between 2020 and 2022.
One was a colleague of my father's, who developed heart arrhythmias a couple days after his second shot.
The other was a family member, who almost died after he became severely ill with pneumonia and sepsis after his third shot.
Both these people were healthy. In fact, the family member in question was a fitness freak.
Lastly, another family member of mine, since having their two shots, now has an obscenely low white blood cell count.
There's nothing to say these aren't all just coincidences and wouldn't have occurred naturally, but I'm sure as f*ck pleased I didn't accept a COVID-19 jab.
We need a pissed emoji to click.So, Rob just this minute smashed a glass on the worktop whilst I was standing right there. There is no hope for my ears at the moment. I give up.
So, whether it's having my "buttons pushed" on the Tinnitus Talk adult playground, or just being baited into attempting a new photoshop challenge; I like to deliver.

@aura, @Steph1710, we need some kind of treatment that won't make our ears this damn sensitive to normal sounds. It's ridiculous.

Wow... It's even worse than the Ferrero Rocher one and that's something!
The facial expression, the fat arms, the saggy tits... I f*cking love it!

▲ seems like a winner to me.
I wonder if Rob went to see this "CBT specialist" behind Steph's back?
Because he appears to be replicating the "treatment" for her at home.

I know you're being sarcastic but a buddy of mine is doing better with noise exposure. The key is to not push your limits, we constantly push our limits because of accidents. Sucks.
For real @Wrfortiscue; that buddy is me.
Had I not taken the plunge and learnt to tolerate moderate sound inside my apartment, I would have died as a result of catastrophic tinnitus eventually; due to the impending severe ear infection that was headed my way because of overuse of hearing protection.
But clanking/smashing plates, and throwing forks onto hardwood/tile floors just isn't it.
That "therapist" is utterly insane, and completely out of their depth where helping hyperacusis sufferers is concerned.
I'll be blunt and share my unpopular/pessimistic view here: that not very many of us will ever be able to handle sounds like that again.
Perhaps if you're young and/or had mild hyperacusis to start with. But outside of those categories, I would suggest avoiding those types of noises, until the day a tangible treatment becomes available.
Of course I'm open to being proven wrong. I've seen some users here take bigger risks than me, and reap greater results for it, but then I've never been much of gambler, and I'm alright with where I'm at.

I think I'm going to have to wear protection constantly for a while, until my tinnitus and hyperacusis settles a bit.
How are you ears after dropping your phone? That's incredibly frustrating too. It's the little things that before we would have never have even thought about.
I just get so frustrated because I managed to cook a whole dinner and wash up in peace and quiet. Rob comes home and after five minutes manages to smash a glass and then starts loudly chopping a pineapple! I mean a fucking pineapple! Who randomly decides to eat a whole pineapple at 10:00pm. Talk about acid reflux!

I agree. I've had tinnitus for two years now. Slowly over those two years, different levels of noise exposure such as plates smashing, car doors slammed etc. have led me to develop hyperacusis. The more loud sounds I have been exposed to, the worse my ears have become.
Managed to have a damn good sleep last night. I was so exhausted from having zero sleep the night before.
This is the best I've had in ages. It's extremely rare I even manage 6 1/2 hours, so 8 hours is amazing!

Have you forgotten? Correlation is not causation?
I personally know a worrying number of people who've gotten seriously ill after having jabs. The second one mainly. I could go on but won't.
Anyhow, what do I know? I'm just confirmation-biased, conspiracy-theorising, COVID-19-denying, anti-vaxxer scum.
(But I do enjoy the ocassional Ferrero Rocher)
Haha! You are a funny one, @Wrfortiscue! Very easy-going, especially when it comes to jokes!
Did I say fat arms?
I meant big, strong, muscular arms!
And our love child looks pretty cool too!
We have my face, we have your body... Now the question is who's claiming the tits?
