I'm meh.
Visiting my parents in my hometown for the weekend so that's good. They're super understanding of my condition and very supportive so I'm lucky in that way.
How are you Jack?

I'm glad to hear that your family is so supportive! Going home for the holidays?

I am alright myself. Lots of changes happening in my life, which makes things stressful not including T which is a different story. lol

Will be nice to have time off for the holidays though. Would love me a mutebutton for christmas! :ROFL:
 
On a side note I haven't see @PolishSoldier87 in a while. I hope he is doing okay and his T just faded.

I'm now seeing a flock of black specs and colored lighting streaks in my vision. Just started three days ago.

Am I bothered? No. This is absolutely nothing compared to tinnitus.

"Your flashes are likely to go away on their own within a few days or weeks. This may be true even if you have a retinal tear or detachment! ... Floaters, like flashes, may get better on their own even if a retinal tear or detachment is present."

If only T would go away!

Maybe someday. fx322? My hope is worn out.

It usually does not go away it could be retinal detachment you should get it looked at asap

hey I actually went through the same too not long ago. floaters are completely normal but repeated flashes mean you want to get that checked retinal tears are easily treated so make sure it doesn't lead to a detachment which is much more annoying to deal with.
good luck it's no biggie as long as you get it checked by a professional it takes 10 minutes

Thanks for your replys. What do they do, prescribe eye drops?

In my case he checked my eyes 2 minutes each with some kind of lamp tool and saw no tear or detachment which meant nothing had to be done.
From what I understand if there's a tear it's a quick laser thingy and you should be fine but detachment are more complicated.
 
Oh cool.

I overcome tinnitus half a year ago, and now life throws a bigass lightning strike several metres away from me. Hard to compare it to anything, because it was just so obscenely loud.

Not going to be surprised if tinnitus develops over the next few days

The same happend to me this summer, lightning strike near my open bedroom window. Sounded like an explosion. However no spike:).
 
Is this actually true?
@threefirefour
Oh yeah, the year started with Susan Shore's great results, had Frequency Theraputics and Decibel theraputics getting tons of funding, FTX making a funding deal with the US army, Uminn device showing to be successful, and last but not least Mutebutton succeeding and confirmed for release in 2019.

I'm kind of surprised Jastreboff hasn't necked himself yet tbh.

Yeah! Definitely seems qualitatively superior progress to other periods!
 
I didn't know there was such a thing as low frequency tinnitus until reading this forum.

I've been hearing this oscillating humming noise and thought it was a/c compressors or mechanical noise. I was hearing it this morning as I went from room to room expecting it to change but it didn't. Then the posts here about low frequency T dawned on me. Well that's what it is, at least it's not loud and distracting like high pitch T.

How many others have low frequency, humming T?

Of all the health concerns in my life, I never expected so many problems with hearing. Not so much the lack of hearing but the hallucinations of hideous noise. It truly is an overlooked condition which deserves more research and a cure.

Ahahahaha yea, if this shit works, we finally have something. I am sure after that it will just be a matter of time until we figure out how to eliminate tinnitus completely.

I will probably buy one just to slap a certain german ENT with it @Autumnly :D

ENT: I'm sorry sir but there's no treatments for tinnitus. I'll recommend CB...

*pulls out Mutebutton*

"What were you about to recommend? You're supposed to be a doctor who helps your patients remember?"

*pulls out Mutebutton and slaps him until he habituates to it* :D

Any reduction will be more worth then everything we had until now, since we had basically, well........nothing (affordable and consistently working).
 
Anyone know why TT members' names are in different colors? For example some are blue, some are orange and I also noticed turquoise.
Well... I am not up-to-date, but unless something has changed significantly, the legend is as follows:

blue = normal member
bold blue = physician
bold orange = benefactor
bold pink = staff
dark green = special advisor

(You will have to search pretty hard in the Internet archives to find an example of the last one...)
 
Meanwhile at the NHS as we approach the end of the year...
