Photo Album of Tinnitus Talk Members

I didn't really want to do this, as I'm quite uncomfortable now that it's been established that long hair on men is preferred but I decided to opt in here with my face. Wearing the glasses I got today.

Don't let being bald bring you down, buddy. Some of the baddest men on the planet are bald. Embrace it.

Pre-tinnitus. Nothing runs like a Deere! Actually, I don't think I ever got this one to run, lol. @grate_biff

 

[Steph1710]

Actually I second what @FGG said — any hair, or even no hair is awesome!

Gotta rock what you've got!

 

[Sonic17]

Don't allow me to fool you bud.
On a tough day you can see the pain in my face......x

You look very kind hearted and sensitive.

 

[Sonic17]

We all look so normal, happy & healthy... you can understand why people without tinnitus don't fully understand what we're going through under the veil! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee etc etc

I was thinking the same thing, everyone looks healthy. Hard to believe how much pain we are in.

My morning cave man look. Effin lockdown, we feel like prisoners in our own homes.

Lots of rain today.

This is from the carefree days a year ago. These days I bear a greater resemblance to my avatar.

About to get my root canal done. Totally not panicking or anything. /s.

Thanks, Steph!

The root canal went better than I ever expected. I explained my situation to the dentist, and he was very understanding, allowing me to wear my ear muffs and taking breaks with the drill without me having to ask. Furthermore, since the tooth was/is already broken, I only underwent drilling for about three minutes or so, but I might be wrong on that.

My ears are a teensy bit sore, but as long as I don't get a delayed spike, or a spike from the Amoxicillin (which I hear is usually safe) or the pain meds, I should be ok.

Now I only have the crown to worry about.

That's amazing to hear! Makes so much difference when people actually take our condition seriously, rather than laughing it off, or worse - saying, "you'll be fine".

As for Amoxicillin, you shouldn't have any problems. I'm always on Amoxicillin because of lung infections, and it's never once caused me any issues.

Not gonna lie, given we are all consigned to the same shared instance of oblivion, I expected more flirting in this thread.

Less talk - more photos. Show me ya face!

You could always lead the way...

Pawel Jastreboff is so sexy when he puts me in my place, telling me I'm a whiny, little, attention-seeking forum nut job, incentivized by getting rich from my disorder. It's so authoritative, and it turns me on so much.

Then again, my attraction for him isn't real. It's something I need to habituate to.

FINE. Same trip as last time, except in Porto.

Just imagining him wooing partners by telling them they would habituate to him with time...

Is this in Portugal?

I once went for a surfing holiday there. Beautiful churches and beaches. I could definitely do with being there right now!

Do you know what the big P in P. Jastreboff stands for?

Yes.

This is me now, waiting for some distant point in the future to arrive.

I'm in the same position metaphorically and literally (in bed, side day dreaming about things future me will hopefully be able to do one day).

But I have to ask, are you drawing a cat by any chance?

 

[Steph1710]

Well here's a picture of me trying to carefully place some African gold weights onto a display unit.

We're currently materialising our next exhibition.

 

[Zugzug]

Big amounts of Positivity.

What's the guitar Keith?

 

[Keith Handy]

I'm surprised you can see anything on that notebook. It's a diagram of how I was going to connect some wires to some speakers, mainly for Zoom meetings.

 

[Keith Handy]

What's the guitar Keith?

Epiphone Les Paul "Black Beauty" with three humbuckers. (That's what we all need now... humbuckers.) I only play it for a few minutes at a time with no amp.
