2 years before tinnitus & hyperacusis:



More recently:



I don’t take pictures much these days (or shave!)

 

A morning walk in the Wicklow mountains, then home along the river. Quiet and peaceful.

 

Great picture!

 

I was so happy before hyperacusis and tinnitus Despite still having a lot of health issues I was able to at least enjoy music.

 

Well here I am going to metal shows again. Went to see Mayhem.

Wore plugs but they blocked too much sound so had them kinda partially inserted to dial the sound in. Even took them right out for my favourite song. My phone meter was only reading like 82 dB from the back of the venue, so I'm not sure those apps can be trusted My guess is more like 110 dB at the stage.

I still have baseline tinnitus and very faint hyperacusis symptoms, but they weren't affected by this show at all. I strongly feel like it's always been some kind of persistent head/neck inflammation all along. I don't know. When my new job benefits kick in I'll be seeing a chiropractor/massage therapist. Getting on with life has been good.

 

Cannot remember if I ever shared this picture.

Interestingly enough this is the last time I remember not having tinnitus. I have aptly named this photograph 'From Twilight to Tinnitus.'

 

Suave.

 

Get some ACS customs. You won't have any complaints about them blocking too much sound. They offer universal fit earplugs that use the same filters as the customs, so you can try them out before committing to molds.

 

Brief resume of the last weeks.

 

Great photos E, glad you're doing well.

So, my Google memories came up today to taunt me about how sweet life was before all my health problems kicked in. Turns out this time three years ago, I was still climbing up mountains... *sigh* I miss those days so much.

 

Looks like you had a lovely time. Where were you?

 

@Steph1710, great photos

You will get back on track eventually, and climb those mountains again at one point. I'm sure!

 

Most of those pics were taken where I still am and spend most of my time. A cabin in the forest in south Spain. I sometimes go to the city to buy books, play pool and have my nose crooked in some heated sparring session.


Today was rainy and this was the view from the window of my toilet while having a hot shower.

 

Nice cabin!

Hot...?

 

Is this the famous pug?

 

No, these are the famous pugs!

 

It is quite nice during winter, delightful in autumn, dreamy all spring and excruciatingly boiling hot outdoors in summer, although I survive thanks to a nice air conditioner and spare swims and kayaking in a swamp 50 meters from the cabin.

 

So all this time you were the Guy with two plugs!

Are they an item or something?

 

Indeed, they are a very progressive couple.

 

I guess the black one is the male? What are their names?

 

The apricot fawn is the male, Butch, who is almost 10 and the black one is the female, Rocky, about a year and a half old.

 

An age gap love story, how exciting!

 

Thank you. I sincerely hope so. I just wish I was pain free. Sometimes, my tinnitus is the least of my problems. *sigh*

 

This is too much cuteness! Eeek!

 

Amazing picture of the cats! Very nice light!

 

You read my mind! was thinking the same! And in dog's ages!!!

 

OMG in dog's ages, you're so right!
