My Posting Place

Welcome to purgatory.
Welcome to Tinnitus Talk where a misdiagnosis gets replaced with another misdiagnosis, then sorta corrected with a extremely vague term like "hyperacusis" to define multiple hearing disabilities that have little to no scientific inquiry.
 
I swore off posting controversial memes in MPP due to the fact this is a public forum.

It's always interesting when people use words other then hyperacusis to describe noise induced pain. They mention what the condition is, and how it feels ect.

I'm sure there's lots of outdoors/firearm enthusiast that literally know what noise induced pain is as a condition. They know it's a consequence of not protecting their hearing when firing a high caliber weapon.

The word hyperacusis is so problematic it prevents people from even describing their problem. When you get people who never heard the word hyperacusis you get a better more clear definition and there is also no denying it's linked to cochlear damage.

You do realize that you're doing a better job at sharing relevant info than the ATA and BTA right? You also get major bonus points for screwing with tinnitus scammers.
 
Does anyone have this problem? My mental illness causes me to obsess over political zealotry for fun.

I've watched countless Youtube documentaries on political extremisms. neo-nazis, radical feminist sjw, anarcho-capitalist, radical Islam. It's always interesting to see how the mind of a extremist functions. I think the only reason I find political extremist funny in the first place is because normies are easily offended. Normies being so easily offended is what gives zealots a humorous appeal.

Read this dilemma. It's self defeating

> User was using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and wanted to update
> User updates to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
> User has wifi and other driver issues on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
> He tries all the official Ubuntu 16.04 flavours which are basically the exact OS with different desktop environments
> Gets depressed when he realizes the obvious. That changing a desktop environment won't solve the problem
> User is upset because he cannot find a solution and does not want to downgrade back to 14.04 to resolve problems.
> User replaces Ubuntu 16.04 with Linux Mint 17.3
> User is very happy with Linux Mint 17.3 and everything is back to working perfect
> User fails to realize Linux Mint 17.3 is built on top of on Ubuntu 14.04 (the version he didn't want to downgrade too)

He downgrades without even realizing it just because of how superficial Linux distros look on the outside. The cinnamon desktop environment/Display Manager doesn't change any core differences to how the OS function under the hood.

Atleast he's happy until he updates to the next version built on 16.04.

I am officially resigning from MPP. John is in charge of everything. If you guys want to talk you know where to find me.
 
I find your tone to be deeply irritating and I am thus inclined to speak far more coarsely than is my want: but what the devil did you just say about me, you purblind ruffian? I'll have you know that I have successfully counseled over 300 tinnitus patients, the majority of which are individuals with "noise induced tinnitus."

the fact of the matter is that I am well-equipped to speak poignantly about this issue. I have positively counseled patients over the phone, email, private messages and in my own personal residence in Fahgshire, UK.

You and I have corresponded positively in the past, but your vulgarity--a trait I despise, has put my wits to their inevitable end. As we speak I am contacting my associates, many of whom are individuals with "noise induced tinnitus." Your location will be ascertained and your mouth will be cleansed with soap.

I have nothing further to say about this matter.

Regards,
M.

is this a new copy paste or did you get into an altercation with a Jastreboffian?

There are two types of TRT practitioners

1: audiologist that are just doing their job
-
Clueless audiologist that don't either bother understanding the science, or looking at things from a philosophical perspective they are just practicing bad medical protocol because it pays the bills.

2: the pseudo-intellectuals
-
TRT practioners that take the time to study Jastreboff's books and read his published papers. They are in the mindset that they have high social status within the tinnitus/hyperacusis community. They view themselves as disciples of Mr. Jastreboff and want to learn more from him.


Both don't care about science. Both live in a bubble where Jastreboff is all authority.
