So, lately I've taken up road biking as the title implies. Now currently, I wear no ear plugs or any sort of deflectors and have began to wonder...

This thread has turned into some alt-right, fear-mongering bullshit. Women are being dragged down into the gutter by that sort of ignorant...

I never mocked anyone. I have been in a terrible place myself, a very dark one filled with nothing but hopelessness and despair. If I misread...

It's funny that you talk about diminishing suffering and post things like this. I just saw this for the first time when I went to send you a PM....

How long did you do CBT? And I never said loudness doesn't matter. I just think that the "spikes" (as well as the fear of whether or not they'll...

Why try to make people feel even worse about their hearing damage so you can convince them that life is hopeless? And I'm the bad guy?!

Hyperacusis and tinnitus can absolutely be debilitating. At one point I wouldn't leave my house for weeks at a time. H can absolutely get better...

I think there's something to be said about a group of people who are feeling down feeding off each other though. I've talked to a lot of older...

I agree. I've read many stories on here that are very similar. Unless you lived your entire life isolated from noise, you were probably bound to...

Everyone already knows your feelings regarding women, it's no secret. So why don't you go ahead and provide those examples? Otherwise, it's...

Once again, can you provide any examples of the "services consequences" that asking a woman out entails?

Can you provide an example of someone being "convicted" of simply asking a women out? Or are you just talking out of your rear end?

Asking someone out on a date is not sexual harassment. Also, although sexual harassment in the workplace is technically against federal law in the...

I woke up to this today. It's snowing in the desert (Tucson, Arizona). What a pleasant surprise! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Could be a result of ear canal inflammation due to the plugs, a random fluctuation, hyperacusis, or stress/anxiety. There's just no way your ears...

You know Maz, I'm not 100 percent sure. I have sustained a few ruptured ear drums, been exposed to extremely loud noises (gunshots, motorcycles,...

I used to have quite intrusive pulsatile tinnitus. I too have noticed that different head positions could either relieve, or exacerbate it. At its...

This last week I've been extremely busy. Many times I didn't even notice my moderateT. I believe idleness is a tremendous detriment for us.

@Bam My T is loud, but I've fought tougher foes in my life than a noise. Maybe if you'd faced more adversity in your life you'd understand.

Hearing loss and tinnitus will eventually be cured, and it has NOTHING to do with how many people on this forum talk about suicide. Why can't...

Agreed. You can fight or you can give up and surrender... It's up to you. I think some of these folks have never faced any serious diversity in...

It's a hearing aid, it doesn't truly improve your hearing, it just amplifies the sounds around you. Your audiologist is a flat out liar if she...

I think it's fair considering the fact that I see it being done all the time on this website. I have a friend who was paralyzed in a roll over...

You don't think being paralyzed or having extreme pain 24/7 would impact your quality of life? What about being blind? Or losing all of your...

I'm sorry to hear that. But having had that experience, you should be the first to extinguish this "poor me" mentality. There's conditions that...

It's simply not true though... There's conditions like severe chronic pain that make people feel like they're being stabbed 24/7. Chronic...

There's conditions out there that make tinnitus look like a walk in the park.

Taurine is an NDMA antagonist, so if anything, it's more likely to reduce your tinnitus. I have taken taurine will no increases in tinnitus...

From that article... "So why do manufacturers raise the price of brand drugs immediately before generics are released? It’s likely that this...

Your logic is based on supply and demand when this pricing structure (or lack of) has nothing to do with it. There is currently no backlog for...

Find me one, just one example of a medical procedure that started off affordable, got extremely expensive, then went back down again. Also, please...

This is not a clinical trial, JohnAdams paid $9000 dollars for his treatment. Experimental procedures are typically quite expensive, I'm not sure...

As much as I respect JohnAdams for taking the risk and going through with the procedure, I as well have some reservations when it comes to Dr....

True. But she was also wearing double protection. There's no way for either one of us to definitively say whether or not damage was inflicted on...

You have no way of knowing that. Stress and anxiety can absolutely cause temporary increases in tinnitus volume. Why would you say something like...

This post makes it seem as if you were. You expressed your frustration with the cost of the test and ended it by saying you were waiting on...

Also, I don't understand why measuring a patient's ability to decipher speech helps their treatment of tinnitus and hyperacusis. It's not like...

Seems that a QEEQ only differs from a standard EEG is the sense that it "compares your client’s EEG to that of a normative database". I'm...

From what I read it doesn't appear to be a "dangerous" test. What it does appear to be is a scam. Auditory Evoked Potential Response and Hearing...

Why are Finnish drug addicts trying to spike your tinnitus?

Why would John make this up? There are a few members on here who I do believe would fabricate such a story, but he is not one of them.

I've had sleep paralysis as well. The first time it was my whole body, and second it has just my right side. It's hard to emphasize how scary this...

Same here. I remember dosing off one night and being woken up to what I believed (at the time) was either an explosion or a gunshot. I immediately...

If you're saying that yourself and others are too afraid to be recorded or filmed, why are you complaining that the most severe sufferers aren't...

I am recommending wearing both. Peltor Blast™ are ear plugs, wear those under the X5a's. I am recommending both. I think OP was confused as to...

With Peltor X5a's and Peltor Blasts™, you should be fine. I wouldn't use anything else, they just won't cut it.

The ear canal is supposed to be self-cleaning, but some people seem to have issues with wax buildup. I'd stop using the q-tips as they can push...

Why are some folks jumping down this man's throat regarding his treatment? Just sit back and wait for updates rather than interrogating him. Do...

@JohnAdams Damn, a lot of people talked, but you actually muscled up and did it. Much respect for taking a huge risk in traveling half way around...

An individual like that strikes me as the kind of person that would read the "Caution: Contents Hot" label on their coffee, proceed to drink it...

I agree Glenn, caffeine is nasty habit. I was once HIGHLY addicted, many, many, many cups of coffee a day. It had a profound effect on my mental...

You're overusing them, the result is inflammation, if you continue to do so you run the risk of getting an ear infection, which can GREATLY...

You did gave fair warning that it would be loud, and I don't see why anyone would think a video containing fighter jets would be quiet by any...

As loud and ridiculous as that was, there's something oddly satisfying about seeing a massive hunk of metal cut through the sky with such speed...

I find that going to bars and restaurants on weeknights allows me to completely avoid having to worry about loud background noise. BJ's is a...

Bill puts people on his "ignore" list, but hits the "show ignored content" button on every thread he views. I know this because I've been on his...

This is common where I live Jiri (Tucson, Arizona), A-10s, F-18s, and F-22s will come out of nowhere, after burners lit, at extremely low attitude...

You don't think that's a bit much? I mean I only wear protection (Peltor Blasts™) when I take out my very loud classic sports car. I might be...
