    2024 US Presidential Election

    I'm not aware of a good justification for it given its operating costs. We should be examining every facet of public spending for waste, fraud, and abuse.

    2024 US Presidential Election

    I think that over the next 10 years, we’re only likely to see two promising treatments: the Susan Shore device and electrical stimulation of the inner ear, like Dr. Djalilian’s device, which I think is the most promising. I’m optimistic that with advances in AI and quantum computing, the pace...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    All the time spent arguing back and forth here, including some of mine, could have been used in a more productive way to help find a solution to our situation.

    Suicidal Two Months After Tinnitus Onset from a Child's Scream

    That is wonderful you are starting CBT. Have you seen an ENT to rule out treatable causes?

    Suicidal Two Months After Tinnitus Onset from a Child's Scream

    So many of us have been there. Two months is nowhere near enough time to assume you are going to feel this way forever. It took me about a year to truly come out of the fog. Hang in there. Rule out possible causes with medical doctors, stay away from negative message boards, and focus only on...

    I think the Dr. out in California has been studying the relationship between tinnitus and migraines as well. Dr. Djajilian or something along those lines.

    More than likely not a problem. It's simply not loud enough and long enough to cause lasting damage.

    I've never had this problem, but I bought a plastic bowl of Howard Leight plugs early on when I first experienced tinnitus. Seemed like the cheapest option and I just keep the small individual bags of it in places where I might need them.

    Could the Occlusion Effect from Earplugs and Earmuffs Be Damaging My Hearing?

    The alternative of not wearing hearing protection is MUCH worse.

    I remember dealing with this. Call around to other parishes, usually one of them has a no music mass. Sit where it is quietist, step out during songs, or bring plugs that you can easily pop in, but whatever you do, don't give up on the sacraments. Even make time for adoration, even if it's dead...

    2024 US Presidential Election

    Corporations leaving the United States for lower tax havens are part of what destroys the middle class. That was happening under the Obama administration and almost completely stopped during the first Trump administration. Corporate taxes are an expense and are largely passed on to consumers...
