    Stigma Around Deaf / Tinnitus Sufferers and Disability Benefits

    I've not posted in a while, but I just couldn't stand this any longer. I ranted for half an hour to my current partner about the state of deaf disability benefits. I do not collect, although I may in the future because my financial situation has definitely been affected by having to spend...

    2018 Brought a New First Drug to Deal with "Migraine" — CGRP Class

    Btw, I contacted the journalist behind this video from Quartz. You should too on Twitter! Let her know @mrubez why Quartz should make a video on tinnitus and hyperacusis. It's a news channel with over 300K subs and she's got few followers on Twitter, so definitely big chances of her seeing it if...

    Mythbusters' Adam Savage Wears a Hearing Aid

    I've included in this video from Dr. Cliff as he goes in-depth about this. It's not 100% confirmed if Adam has tinnitus, but considering he has hearing loss all across the board and wears a hearing aid... and most people with this do experience some type of tinnitus, he probably has it. But...

    I Made This Video Before Chronic Tinnitus — I Didn't Truly Understand This Condition Back Then

    I made this video on tinnitus back in June, 2018. My chronic tinnitus most likely started January 1st, 2019. The first time I experienced tinnitus ever, was around November 2017 I'd say when I mixed modafinil with cannabis, and another time was modafinil with alcohol. I never took modafinil more...

    My Psilocybin Journey — I Travelled to Amsterdam

    Hello, Before my depressing journey began with Pregabalin last December, I was well versed with psychoactive substances. I mostly had bad trips, but that was due to early on stupidity during my teenage years. I decided to dose 400ug for my first LSD trip when I was 16, and ended up in the...

    What Would Elon Musk Do? Would He Give Up?

    Today I had a thought... What would happen if Elon Musk suddenly woke up with tinnitus one day? Would he just give in and say "It was a good life, but oh well." Or would he never even entertain the idea of giving up? I think the latter. He's a billionaire, so they're already thinking in terms...

    Driving Is My Best Coping Ability

    I LOVE driving for the reason I have always loved it, freedom. It gives me access to a lot of fun things: Ice cream shops, parks, driving to the city and back, listening to great music, driving around my girlfriend, etc. I may not have a car at the moment (I totaled one last week, using rented...

    It's Time to Get More Coverage of Tinnitus on YouTube

    Here's my latest video: Unfortunately, I don't get a lot of views as I rarely post now in contrast to my uploads of last year. Tinnitus directly affects how many uploads I can make, but I'm trying to get past that. I know deep down that if I want a cure for this, I'll have to make my role...

    Pregabalin Changed My Life Forever (Negatively)

    I was prescribed Pregabalin for GAD after I went to a psychiatrist on recommendation from my neurologist. I was experiencing periods of depersonalization (from anxiety) and it was probably more situational in retrospect. I wish I could take this decision back, but what's happened has happened...
