If you want to learn another language, do it please. You will find ways to compensate for your hearing loss, like lipreading. The more you wait,...

Yes for hyperacisis. I have had a weakness in my auditory system since I was born, and it got worse over time, with different symptoms. Also in...

Hey, if anything, hyperacusis is caused by hearing loss (even by slight "hidden" hearing loss), not the other way around. Hyperacusis can have...

Hey, You're welcome to come here, I live in France in the Prealps area and it's pretty quiet once you get here :) I hike without plugs most of...

Good for you. I couldn't have a MRI even with foam earplugs + earmuffs. That's how my H is, even though I realize most people are not in my case....

The hearing aids just make things worse for now. Yes I still have severe H & recruitment. I get what you mean. All I hear is just high and...

Yes, isolating, that's the main issue. Hearing loss is never going to get better. So that's our starting point. Over the last year, mine went a...

I have severe H, severe T and hearing loss (up to 70dB in the highs, so my H is partly recruitment), but I don't know if it's worse, we are all so...

Hi Alue, I see 2 main issues here : 1/ the people around you were not aware of your condition ; 2/ you didn't leave when it started to get...

Low frequencies are ok, medium are okayish and high not ok at -70dB. I can hear my high pitched T loud and clear :D

That would be me (amongst others probably) ;) What I don't understand is : let's say a balloon is 160dB. Let's say a gun is also 160dB. The gun...

I don't speak Russian so...

You have a point ! ;)

Absolutely not, this is a trial for hearing loss only.

Bummer. Big one. I have the same type of hearing loss and thought it would be spot on. Not huge, so you probably still have supporting cells, but...

I haven't posted here in a while. Would have preferred to come back in better circumstances. RIP Danny.

A car door can be closed without any loud noise : it can be just a very soft "click". Just push or pull until it closes. You don't need to slam it...

There is no hair cells in the middle ear. It's all in the inner ear. The inner ear has outer hair cells and inner hair cells.

Yep, before was like another life. Even if we get better (I'm sure we will), the damage it did to us, to everything in our life, is tremendous...

I think you have no idea what you're talking about here. What is hearing loss ? As you put it, there is hearing loss or there isn't. Well... Your...

I love that, especially the "dying cat parades" part :cat: Can I use it for some stuff I'm writing ?

Oh really ? :cautious: What a quality source of information ! We can see this channel thinks global warming is actually good lol : [MEDIA] I'm...

Come on. There is something between "don't trust what we are told, it is all a lie" and "if the newspaper writes it, it must be true" : thinking,...

I'm saying "thinking" is the contrary of spreading conspiracy theories.

Jokes are one thing, conspiracy theories are another :eek:

You didn't realize it was not a serious thread at first. I understand you don't like it but what is supposed to be funny is the grotesque...

I was just replying to your points, not telling you what to say or not say.

Really, no. Joking about something is not necessarily meant to diminish its awfulness. We should be able to joke about everything. How we do it is...

Yes, within couple of days. I'm talking about well respected French newspapers, not rubbish tabloïds. Often through editorial cartoons for...

We've had our fair share of mass murders in my country recently. Some close to my city. We almost all know one person (or more) who was at a...

There is no disrespect for the victims here. The OP is making fun of the killer. We should make fun of killers like him more often because we...

And why is that ? For how long ?

Michael, this thread is going south and I have no interest in it. I'm tired by those endless arguments which serve nothing. But I just want you to...

Just by looking at that drums, my ears are burning :LOL:

I think it started right after my first trauma. The second trauma just made it worse.

Right ear : 200Hz : 5dB 500 : 5dB 1000 : 5dB 2000 : 15dB 4000 : 35dB 8000 : 60dB Left ear : 200Hz : 5dB 500 : 10dB 1000 : 5dB 2000 : 10dB 4000 :...

One of the best drum solo ever : Michael Shrieve with Santana at Woodstock. [MEDIA]

Yep :( She doesn't get the respect she deserves, especially here on TT. There is far more compassion and understanding in the YouTube comments....

No, it took me some time to find strategies that work. At one point, you have to tell people, you don't want to suffer for days because of a 5...

What did he do for your H ?

If you start to whisper, the person will wonder what is happening. The doctor : Everything's ok ? You, whispering : Yes, but could you lower...

Please get your facts straight. Gaby had tinnitus and severe hyperacusis. It doesn't make sense to talk about "T". There are all kinds of T....

Yes, my nephew is 4 and he understands my problems now. So he stays quiet when we play together. He will scream here and there but still, we're...

I think you're right. Apart from very loud blasts like explosions, or loud music over a few hours (concerts), Prednisone is not needed. Otherwise...

Final Fantasy VII !

I had a mild T before that I didn't care about. I now have a loud T and haven't found a way to habituate yet. My perception didn't change, I'm...

I see. Do you know why the alarm ? Sometimes they just do simulations or tests. They might be able to alert you in advance so you can leave before...

You need to find a way to get out of the building asap next time. Maybe ask a colleague to help you in such a case, so you will be able to protect...

You're right. I did not have T before I had T... But as a kid, I believe I have popped many balloons... It's only when T started 13 years ago...

When the balloon that ruined my hearing popped in that car, we were four people inside. I was the only one suffering from hearing loss, loud...

Exactly. That's why T and H are pretty much a lost cause !

There is a lot of things you did without consequences that hurt other people. You don't know about it... You got T, it sucks, but life is unfair.

I think it can. One of those messed up my T last year.

You disappoint. 59 937 338 people voted for Donald Trump. If, for you, that number represents "roughly half a nation of +300 million people",...
