@Barry098 That Afro is all mine

I think I need @kingsfan to step in here for a sec just to confirm that I'm right.

I think you are spot on @Lurius . I was just making a bad joke.

@Wrfortiscue it was decent this morning but ramped up outrageously in the afternoon

I just sat in my car without earplugs and turned up my stereo until it felt what I can remember it felt like at the restaurant. My watch showed ~65dba. It sounded incredibly loud.

I can't even imagine being responsible for a family with this mess. Maybe I'm lucky I got it so young.

Temporarily. I don't want to.

Maybe a change of scenery will be good?

Was he dancing or what lol.

@kingsfan hahahaha! Dude! Only you lol.

Hell Ya! Some Good News at last! Cheers Brother!

GOOD!

Yeah that’s enough. Someone just has to close the door and place a cup down next to me to set mine off. I guess I’m just used to the constant fluctuations in volume and tones. No day is the same.

@Steph1710 (>_<')

weird, for the life of me I can find a way to purchase this on their site. It's like the add to cart button is missing

@AfroSnowman There is a button that is labeled "Personalize Yours" that you have to click. Is that missing as well?

@kingsfan Got it!

@Steph1710 I don't mean to be a downer, but I have had a lot of thoughts of just ending things on the last day of my lease here. Someone would find me the next day at least. But I've ultimately decided to hang on longer.

@kingsfan Glad to hear your feeling a bit better. Covid had me bed ridden for like 4 days last summer. It's rough cause anything stacked on top of T and stress seems unsurmountable. I'm glad you've decided to ride with us a bit longer. I sincerely hope you can find the physical and mental healing you are in need of during this stressful time.

Hang in there @kingsfan to be honest, I’ve been in a dark place recently too. This seems impossible…but others have learned to deal with it, so we can too. I can’t think that the rest of my life will be as miserable as this past year. There has to be a way through. Stay strong brother.

Something irritated the hell out of my tinnitus yesterday though. Hopefully nothing permanent bc it's like electricity going through my brain right now.

I’m dreading going to the dentist but I have to haven’t had my teeth cleaned in 3 years.

@Joey72, my dentist used a thing called airflow to clean/polish your teeth. Worth looking into.

Things that we would never have even considered before. Seems like a joke.

@Steph1710 Right? it's impossible to be completely prepared for everything. Basically have to learn how to handle each situation by suffering through it at least once. Not the way I want to figure things out.

My life every single day.

I love how in media the “[RINGING] " after gunshots and explosions always goes away. Hahaha....

Thanks for the heads up. Haven’t seen S3 yet… how are u liking it? Homelander still being a douchebag？

They're not even using it for the usual tinnitus explosion/gunshot effect. It's being used when a character is having a sort of mental-breakdown moment, and there is absolutely no warning when it starts.

@TheDanishGirl While outside pumping gas yesterday, I counted at least 3 in each eye. I don't know if that is considered a lot. I've had them for a long time now, though I think I do have a couple new ones recently.

I would consider that in the normal range. But they always suck. I have an uncountable amount myself. Like 50 or more maybe, and some are long strings and quite large. I know I will have a vitrectomy eventually. Mine gets worse over time.

@TheDanishGirl I can't even imagine having that amount. Mine are also very stringy now, while they used to just be dots. But I'm okay as long as I'm not in bright light.

It sucks though, bc I was trying to stay under the radar with my address possibly changing to out of state for a few months... Not sure yet how that will affect my cobra health insurance.

@Steph1710 They pay $15 a day, I believe.

@BrOKeN_1 Last time I was called for duty, they asked me if I trusted cops and I couldn't lie.. so the prosecutor dismissed me.

I couldn’t help but laugh at your post, because I know it so well. XD

@Wrfortiscue Man, I was returning some ikea stuff to clear out my garage and there were some screaming kids in the returns area. I had to take out one of my earplugs too bc I couldn't hear the employee that was helping me.

@Steph1710 yea it's ridiculous haha. I think this house has been a big contributor to my constant worsening. I should have never moved in. My last place was so quiet except for the neighbors.

@kingsfan could be GAD. Doesn’t hurt to get an ekg ultrasound unless no insurance then it hurts lol

@Wrfortiscue I had issues with this a few years ago. I wore a monitor for a month. That's how I know what it is right now. It went away for a couple of years though and now it's back with a vengeance.

PVCs have been better the last 3 days, knock on wood. Not completely gone, but they aren't debilitating me now, thank god.

Brakes and shopping carts! Need to be outlawed

Well I mean squeeky brakes. Probably need to keep brakes

@Rockman I've caught myself a few times pulling up to the drive thru with my window down and hot brakes.

I’m throwing in the towel on protecting my ears. What’s the point…it doesn’t change anything…

What da heck is wrong with us? I've lived like a hermit. Still doesn't get better

@Rockman Yep. We are so careful, yet one little mishap and everything turns to shit. Would have been okay to just live with what I originally had, but it just keeps getting worse.

I’m hurting these days as well…this is miserable

No fortunately, I kept my emotions in check. I now switch my attention to rooting against Edmonton and Tampa Bay

Ya wild crapped the bed also.

@Rockman Yea. I'm sorry man. They really did. Buuuut... Blues always give the Kings a really hard time too.

I do the same thing. Than feel dumb afterwards haha

@Wrfortiscue Yea i just let out one loud 'fuck' and then went on with my night, but I guess even that was too much.

@kingsfan @Rockman im a big sports fan and used to do the same haha I wouldn’t yell but I would get pissy for a day

Ooof

I quite enjoy my low level static. It’s calming, and usually means my other tones are quieter.

@Steph1710 Yea I have static in both ears... pretty loud in my right ear.. but this is different. It's in my head. It's very very high-pitch, like 16khz high. And it oscillates and fizzles and just completely puts a barrier between me and my surroundings.

Sorry to hear about that…

@kingsfan the bliss of a tone going, and the hell of it coming back. Plays with the emotions so much.

I ran out of circumin and so haven't taken it in a week. I wonder if it was helping with this tone? Wonder if I should spend the $20-$30 on it...

If your finger slides around on the filter when you put them in they can be noisy. I think I told you that I would get my fingernail stuck to them a lot and it would make a really loud snapping sound. You have to be careful putting them in.

Yes everything should sound clear but just turned down a bit. I have the 19's and they don't really do much. I don't ever wear them. The 31's are clear enough to have a convo while giving better protection.

The occlusion isn't great on these but the deeper you can get them in, the less you'll hear it. Perhaps try a smaller size earpiece. The problem with these is they are universal so you may not get a perfect fit. I have problems with my right ear with these, but they got the job done.

Looks like the kings crapped the bed lol

Maybe their new head coach was Amber Heard?
