I Don't Believe 20% of People Have Tinnitus

[Red]

@Red I'm sorry. And for the record, my passive aggressive dig/ micro-aggression wasn't directed at you or your situation but was more a general comment against the crowd that says headphones are bad no matter what and refuses to have an open debate about the differences.

Alright, Kelpie. Thank you.

Communicating on the internet can be tricky. When I was typing my last post, I was trying to look at how you or @GregCA might read them and interpret them. I had some difficulty doing that, admittedly. I figure that there is more I could have said to effectively communicate my thoughts. Though, I'm glad we ended up having this conversation, anyway.

I will leave with this: (Disclaimer: Language)

Thanks @Red. T has been loud today, so I have been short and communicating poorly all day

I don't think it can be proven either way, since there are so many invisible factors that come in to play, and everyone is so different with different experiences...different perceptions...it's really up to the individual to see what works for them. We can only say things as a precaution since nothing is written in stone. Coffee makes me spike...but salty foods do not! For others it is vice versa!

To be honest they probably just hear a tiny ring. A lot of the people I've talked to about hyperacusis and tinnitus to have a minor form of tinnitus or a very mild hyperacusis. And they never knew these issues hyperacusis (mild hearing sensitivity), and tinnitus (very mild low ringing) are not normal. Most people just don't have severe or moderate forms of these conditions.

Just a thought but maybe if God or the spirits or whatever were feeling magnanimous they could grant Donald Trump some T?

Are you saying that if he were to get it, there would be more funding for T research, or are you saying that he deserves it?

Ronald Reagan had tinnitus and cut research funding initiated by Richard Nixon. Don't count on it!

All ears make a very gentle noise in total silence.

All ears of people who attended concerts. People who had never been to a concert hear complete silence.

Link?

There were cuts in medical research funding. I remember those days well. To be fair, there wasn't much tinnitus research going on by use of federal grants before that time.

I've never been in a concert since decades - and here I am.

Do you have a link? I know people who have never been to concerts yet they do not hear complete silence.

I never attended a concert (except classical) and always used ear protection with loud equipment. Here I am.

After I told several people about my T, they have become more aware of sounds in their ears. One friend told me to stop talking about it.

I wonder how their guys define Tinnitus, if they only hear it in isolated silent room or only experienced for some minutes, then that's not tinnitus at all.

For example an ENT was like "Hey, in our country alone there are 1M out of our 4M population.".

By taking a quick look at the memberlist here I see no else from my country; hell even rarely from the whole middle east, I noticed only one member from UAE and he may be expat.

So where are they? I hardly believe that out of 1M I am the only one from Lebanon here. So I am the only one out of 1M who is a whiner about this lol?

It seems this number is an urban myth originated from a loosely done survey and all Doctors worldwide adopted it as a fact. ie. Like when they all thought that olive oil is bad for you ages ago.

I am one out of those 1M.

Are you going to Ireland to try Lenire?
