I talk about food and history, but here's a video where I interviewed one of my favorite restaurants. (I'm not vegan but I sure do love it!)

@jay777 eh, it'll probably go back to 'normal' tomorrow. This morning it was buzzing but it seems to be quiet again

i hope it lasts ricardo

@jay777 'back to normal' today haha oh well, was nice while it lasted!

@threefirefour I haven't seen that yet. It's so annoying; I think the YouTuber Jacksepticeye talked about his tinnitus but of course the internet was like,
"Here try this :) do this! Oh you have that? Why didn't you do this?"
He handled it better than I would have, I get annoyed when I see stuff like that, like stop it's not like a magic button come on

I need to join in here.
I get so F***ing pissed off when lightweight TT members say - try not to worry - it gets better and better and you will find you can do more and more, and soon be back to normal.
I could “SCREAM !!!!!”

@Jazzer I mean, yes and no. Like I agree it does suck and sometimes I feel like my brain is melting but I think it does get better, some days when it's really bad I think "well what other choice do I have?" and i am able to ignore it. But that's just me.

Just some words of encouragement for us people out there!

Feel better soon.

That’s interesting! Can you provide us with details of when you started noticing improvements and if you’ve always taken care of yourself or not? Congratulations btw!!

@Bill Bauer yes, 3 years. I think after a year I really started taking control of my life. It's been the same since day 1 but I made efforts to keep myself happy.
I will say that recently, I went to a club and stupidly didn't wear earplugs (as I usually do) and my hearing/ T got worse. However, it's been somehow just getting better but I'm at a mental state where it doesn't bother me as much anymore :)

@Striveon Well, I don't know when exactly but after my recent flare-up, I don't hear the new noise (if that makes sense) it's back to my familiar sounds. Also, I've been having quiet days as well where I can't hear it at all until night time. So it's getting back to 'normal' but I haven't really done anything just been patient and focusing on myself. Sorry, I can't be more help than that!

I think if I watched his video when I first got my tinnitus I would have harmed myself out of paranoia and desperation.
This can be said for many people all throughout the world. Also it shifts blame away from real things like hearing loss and otoxicity - which can be prevented in many more cases than none.

I found his channel to be harmful, the fact that he randomly commented on my video says a lot about what they're trying to do. (or at least it's implied to me.)

But thank you for liking my video @PDodge haha I will try and make more positive sounds soon, just finding the time lol

rarely drink, but if and when I do, Port is my absolute favourite. A good bottle is so delicious and enjoyable. Enjoy Ricardo, I hope every drop is a pleasure, happy for you

@Daniel Lion thank you!

Great job!

@Jack Straw thank you!

Thank you! I hope your good days only keep improving with time! I am trying my best to reduce my anxiety levels/ reaction, little by little :)

@Striveon absolutely! just keep at it, you'll get there :)

Thank you, I appreciate it!!

definitely do not claim that it's comparable to the device just thought I'd do something fun haha

Just as well getting used to the feeling!

@Bob den Hartog, lol ya I guess so! I just thought I haven't eaten any in a long time so I thought I'd eat some lol

Any reasons it’s quiet today? Or just luck?

@Striveon just luck, I never know when anything will ever change I just roll with it. I never actually really do anything aside from mask it.

I'm better equipped at handling my tinnitus so I will be okay, this is just a learning lesson and just going to wait out the new sounds until I get better mentally.

thank you for making a video to help spread awareness. @Ed209 will be proud!

@Jack Straw totally! Thanks for watching! I hope to make more similar videos soon :)

@dpdx yes and no. I think it is the same volume however my brain doesn't perceive it as much so it's kind of like the volume has gone down.

@Ricardo1991 Hello, my friend Ricardo. I see that you are very optimistic. It's great! Tell me, is your noise not too intrusive? Do you hear it on the street or with the TV on? As a result, did you have tinnitus? Is your hearing in order on the audiogram?

@IvanRus It is definitely loud enough to where I hear it pretty much everywhere. If I am on a bus, I hear it, fans, past everything. However, it has become part of my daily life, I don't really allow it to bother me anymore. So ya, I gotta stay optimistic! haha

how old was he ? What causes that illness?

@Sam Bridge oh, it was a woman. She was in her 60s

Thats great. Why do you think you are okay? Like whats your "secret" to deal with it?

@Zora well, I just feel okay. I don't want it to get to me and control my life so I am just okay. I suppose I accepted the fact it's there and sort of moved on. I can't really say what I did to make it okay for me I just did everything that made me happy and I just coped.
