Daily Mail Article on 14 Year Old Girl with Hyperacusis

What do you mean?

I looked SR up, and I'm not sure I'm bothered enough to try to understand it. I bet TRT's use of it is along the lines of this comment on an article about it: ''Even more unfortunately, SR has sometimes been invoked in pseudoscientific contexts, such as explaining why “Native Americans can hear the voices of their ancestors in the noise of the grass”!''

 

Guys please, DO NOT TURN this particular thread into another TRT debate. It's actually extremely boring and predictable. In the end there's the TRT thread for this. Or even better, go and scream it out of the White House. Here WE ALL know it's not a cure.

 

From my understanding, SR is a phenomenon that occurs when a sound is so low that your ears will strain to hear it and in turn give you tinnitus or something. In the case of TRT, it can supposedly occur when the generators are set too low. And as you say, there doesn't seem to be any actual science to back this claim up other than Jastreboff's and Hazel's ramblings and gut feelings.

@vermillion
This is not a TRT debate, it's a discussion related to the the topic regarding SR, stemming from post #18 in this thread.

 

Tomato potato.

 

She needs at least a year of rest for her ears to stabilize and then she can restart the treatment. I wish she were in a quiet place where she can hear the sound of the nature and resort to something like reading or needleworks.

 

Here is Lenny getting tinnitus and hyperacusis from an air horn on the Simpsons.

 

Have we not all felt like that at least weekly since we all ended up here?

 

He is, what we call in the land Down Under, a Bogan.

I've just become familiar with this story, and I felt like blowing the Titanic's horn at him in retribution.

My god, not only was this girl assaulted, pretty much everyone around her fumbled about, because certified medical practitioners know less about H than a bunch of laymen on a T forum, resulting in a worsened condition. She's off to a good start.

Seriously, if she gets through this ordeal, and I think she will eventually, her teen years are pretty much ruined. There was one dickhead comment on the Daily Mail article saying her life isn't ruined, it's just been changed. Uh-huh, I'm sure that's of great comfort to Cindy.

 

wtf, tie that prick up and blast his ears with a train horn.

 

And they gave the poor girl a good dose of an useless ototoxic drug for a while if you read the full article
