It so is. I'm trying to habituate to what I've got right now in my ears, but my oh my days, it's grim.
I cannot imagine what I would do with the severe T that some people report (e.g. 80db drills, etc). I would probably just jump off a bridge or fly Belgium. I think they have nice chocolate.

Btw, lest anyone think I'm bluepilled, I'm 100% not. I want to be able to habituate to what I have right now without panic attacks or social isolation, but that is most definitely not the end goal!
I've been to Dublin twice, once on a final stage interview with Google - 4 half hour interviews back to back - and once on a stag do (as the Americans call, them bachelor parties). It'll be a hoot when we all go!

Thanks, man. I am struggling to give a crap at work, but I think a job is important to anchoring and keeping a routine.

My girlfriend just sent me this video, and said I should watch it. It says that CBT is the only thing that works and other methods aren't helpful - or so she tells me, I haven't watched it yet.
This is the problem we are facing today. People like this saying that we shouldn't bother looking for a treatment, just accept it and move on. Ugh. I can't even...

Everyone that claims to be involved in tinnitus treatment or research and is focusing purely on our emotional reaction to it is a fraud, scammer, charlatan, piece of crap and anyone that raises money for tinnitus research and uses it for anything less than an actual way to turn down or eliminate the sound is a diabolical moron that's holding us back from a cure.

100%. I think some have noble intentions - they see us as seekers who are on a quest they see as impossible. I think others are more nefarious and see our struggle as a way to keep their industries going. Neither are helpful.

I mostly agree (99.5%). I give them some credit for wanting to help, but ultimately, they need repilling so they stop the nonsense.

I really need some advice / help right now.
I was just going to the bathroom and farted really loud into the toilet bowl because I just had my moms chili. It was a really loud one as it reverberated in the toilet bowl and into my bathroom, which has good acoustics so it just kept bouncing the sound. It was extremely loud prob 85-90 dB.
It was actually so loud that it seriously scared me and caused me to tense up causing another fart. This second one was just as loud as the first. At this point I was so scared and the ringing in my ears was so much louder that I jumped off the toilet and had to finish outside in the woods where the sound wouldn't reverberate in the toilet.
@Bill Bauer should I go to the hospital for prednisone? Any advice?
I highly recommend that everyone take poops outside from now on to avoid this. I was thinking about hearing protection but the bassyness of the farts prob cuts through the hearing protection at lower frequencies.

I recommend that you switch to the eastern style latrine like the ones they use in South Korea to avoid this problem.

Mine's good. I did a few tests online, supposedly nothing to be worried about.
SUPPOSEDLY.
I sometimes need to ask people to repeat themselves, but I'm an immigrant to Scotland. I don't care how good your hearing is, if you're not from here, you will not understand the Dundee accent.

Ahahahaha that is understandable
I also need to ask people to repeat themselve often, but mostly in situations when I am not actively prepared for a conversation. So maybe I am working on something and my co worker asks me something I don't understand it. But then when I am at a restaurant with noise and everything and I am talking with people I don't have any problems. So no idea if I notice it just because I am of course paying more attention now since getting tinnitus.

I was thinking about ripping out my toilet entirely so it's just a hole in the ground like that picture. My only concern is that those toilets are not made for American sized poops. There may be overflow.

This is not a joke this is serious! @Bill Bauer i am obviously going to wear double hearing protection going forward whenever I feel a big fart coming, but do you have any other advice?
Will def have to do double sessions of TRT after this....

I'm the only one in MPP that supports working as a team to support real activism and change, along with @JohnAdams before he lost OVER 9000 USD in South Korea, we could be doing things like direct new comers to info about Hidden hearing loss and noise induced pain, we could look into scams and investigate them together such as this snake oil http://ringease.com/
We could spread our media presence to twitter, facebook, and reddit and inform more about about avoiding scams, and spread research.
This forum is great but it's currently the only place we congegate and the problem is most people don't talk about participating in anything but dumping occasional memes, they fail to remember the memes are suppose to represent progress we make.
Now you may say, but contrast we can just donate to research? I already have done that and now I'm broke. So we have to do things productive in the mean time. New comers will assume this is a thread to dump meaningless memes, and forget the whole phisophy and meaning of this thread. This thread should be at the heart of otological research and can only play a grand role in the scheme of things if we take it there.

Why not try and help Markku and Hazel? We all have the same goal here and can use all the help we can get.

I contemplate this often. So far all I've done is light messages on facebook, and Mastodon(Which barely has a userbase of what I've seen), and some reporting of youtube-videos.
If we were to make a team, how would it be structured?
If possible it would be great to contact news outlets and such to expose non-helpers and spread the true science among the unknowing, but I am not sure how we could move in a way in which people would take us seriously.
Others have to realize that we are actual people, then it will be up to them to decide which side to take.
If there ever is a concise congretation, count me into the ranks, I will be reachable when I am needed.
The more months that go by, the more I feel we are surrounded by deluded and arrogant people, perhaps even evildoers.
