Thanks!

She is indeed a quiet and smart kid.

She understands my condition and she's trying to help me as much as she can.

Yes, I enjoy parenthood.

I was lucky enough to be tinnitus free in the first years, when she was crying and making a lot of noise.

Now she is almost 7 and she's very supportive.

I don't see much beauty left in the world, but something I do find beautiful is mature children.

My 3-year-old nephew came into my home and completely accommodated my disability, no complaints. Keep in mind that I live in basically a sound proof bubble. He was so sweet about it too and even held in a sneeze at dinner, looking at me like he wanted to protect me.

As he and my brother (obviously, huge credit to him for why his son was so kind) were leaving, he heard some birds and said something like "I bet those would hurt Uncle (my name)."

Such beauty. I'm so glad your daughter has that too.
 
Never let your tinnitus ruin a party. Especially if girls invite you to their private party!

Surround yourself with good company at all times!

Even if that company is your all time, all life, besties soaked in booze.

Kids inherit a lot from their parents' behaviour, so well done!

...
It's my fault I like to play with him and he gets too excited and screams in laughter or whatever. I have my hearing protection off because I want a break from my internal madness so yeah I'm to blame.

Sounds rough on the ears. I hope he grows out of that phase soon.

I got some neighbours under. No kids, no dogs, yet I hear screams and barks every day...

They're in their early 30s... :D
 
@El BUZZ

Great photos dude! Nice to see someone still being able to live a full life despite the tinnitus.
Probably the album Ive listened to the most, closely followed by Angel Dust and Mr Bungle's Disco Volante.
Ah! I love Mr Bungle! Managed to play some in the art gallery I'm currently doing an install in. To my surprise, a young lad who was helping us told me he loves Mr Bungle. It was nice for someone else to appreciate it with me, rather than say - "what the hell is this you're playing!?"

What else you listen to?

How cool to find people who don't look at you like if you were a weirdo because of listening to Mr Bungle, isn't it? Doesn't happen very often.

I pass you a list with some of my all time favorites. I used to listen A LOT of music in a voracious way. That has changed a bit since tinnitus onset but I still enjoy it a lot.

Google this, listen and tell me what you think:

Czarface. Dave Holland Big Band. Grizzly Bear. Sleep. MF DOOM. Hariprasad Chaurasia. Brian Blade Fellowship. Derby Motoreta Burritos Kachimba. Jorja Smith. Hopkinson Smith. Munir Bashir. MadLove. Secret Chiefs 3. Elvin Jones. Cathal Haydn. Diamanda Galas. Frank Zappa. Rory Gallagher.

Your turn, mate! Let me know what you recommend me to listen.
 
I want to live @El BUZZ's life.
LOL! It took me some hardcore years to adapt and be able to enjoy that kind of activities again. My tinnitus is severe. I can hear it everywhere over every sound. Nasty high pitched dental drill loud noise. Now the spans of time ignoring it are longer but sometimes, today for example, I'm knees deep in sh*t again. This is some unpredictable beast when it comes to spikes.
 
Ears are SPIKING BADLY today, so good moment to share some more pics as I hope you guys and gals keep doing.

Completely drunk in a pub in Galway (Ireland) with some of my best friends (that doesn't mean they're clean gut guys):

And this for the sake of my feet fetishism which I feasted with the last Tarantino's movie:
