Photo Album of Tinnitus Talk Members

You know, when a stray cat shows up looking like it had been through jungle warfare and you open the door. That's the beginning of oh poor kitty give some food to her. Well, cat never left, had her neutered moved in brought all her unknown kids with her. From 1 to 4. Found homes for the kittens. Cat thinking ok this is very nice big warm sofa with the wood stove keeping my back warm while I sprawl out. Yep, I will make this home, and if they feed me and love me I will let them live here with me. Oh and they can pay the mortgage.

 

Here's my other cat, Minnie Mouse. She's the comic keeper, keeping them safe from thieves.

 

@OnceUponaTime the picture isn't me I put up, that was homeless man in Slovakia. Here's myself and the Mrs on the Isle of Skye.

 

We don't do selfies very well.

 

Yeiii, you finally joined our Photo Album!
Nice to see you and the Mrs., Elmer!
Your selfie is perfect!


Once

 

Splendid fellow Elmer & Co.
Nice to actually see you guys.
xx

 

When I 1st got her her full name was Molly little bat face. Anyone care to wager why?

& More cat porn

 

Because a lot of them pics are prior to... Having said that shows a lot of us have a lot to live for in spite of this sucky deal. As mentioned my wife puts up with her own suffering...

 

Mine are fairly recent.

​

 

Haha... looks like a trouble maker!

 

I love her

 

Absolute Chad

 

Let me guess...
Ben Sherman shirt under Fred Perry sleevesless jersey?

 

“Damn it - Damn it - Damn it,
he’s only bloodywell right !!
Nobody likes a smart arse Buzz!”

 

I can even try to guess what was sounding there in your ears...

Jack Teagarden?????

 

Ain't she purrrdy paw

 

Are you making fun of me, Bob?

 

This furry bloke in here is my good friend, comrade, supporter in this path, big brother and musician extraordinaire, Carlos. Guy has suffered from tinnitus twice and has been lucky enough to see it fading back to complete silence those two times. Go listen his band RIVERBOY.
I am the dude on the right going through a bad tinnitus day.

 

Cheers happy Friday

 

Hahaha - having started playing jazz trombone in a Kid Ory style I soon graduated to Jack Tea, observing his lip flexibility and lip trills, which cleaned up my technique considerably.
After some years in that camp I decided that the black guys were more expressive, and leaned towards my later heroes Trummy Young and the superb Vic Dickenson.
I imagine these guys may be before your listening experience?

 

@OnceUponaTime - come on gal!
Recruits are dwindling.
Time to get your notorious
whip out again!

 

That's a real success story. Wow. How'd he manage that? How long did it take each time?

 

Never heard of those guys before. I'll give them a listen as soon as my tinnitus allows me. I have always been a hard-bop and post-bop fan enjoying a lot the works of Curtis Fuller, Robin Eubanks, Ruswell Rudd, JJ Johnson, Conrad Herwig and Steve Turre.

He was once mixing a recording in the studio using earphones when a sudden, loud, piercing sound screamed right in his ears. That left him with loud maddening tinnitus which disappeared after three weeks. Then, years later he was exposed to a loud sound through a speaker during a concert and experienced the same level of tinnitus as the previous one. That time it took two weeks to resolve.

 

Amazing.

I have always believed that noise induced cochlea stereo cilia damage could not repair or regenerate.

It couldn’t happen for us guys could it?!

 

@El BUZZ
- this is a fine example of Vic Dickenson’s quirky idiosyncratic improvising style.
The people at Retrospective Records wanted to bring out a compilation of his best stuff, and borrowed all of my discs to do it with.
Other bones can play higher, lower, faster, more modern etc.... but nobody beats him on his lyrically melodic ‘turn of phrase.’
See what you think.

Lover, Come Back to Me

 

Acutely, inflammation can be the culprit before permanent damage is done. That's why timely steroids can repair hearing loss and even remove tinnitus in many cases. When it's just inflammation it can resolve on its own.

 

WOW!!
I have to say that "Lover, come back to me" is one of my all time favorite standards. In fact I find myself singing or whistling it a lot lately. That plus the vicious use of the mute the guy displays there have made me love every bit of the piece. Kudos to the pianist and how chords are dispensed there. Interaction between it and tbone is on point. Love the guy's sense of rhythm as well and his creativeness with the figures and ideas. More licks than a lollypop. Thanks @Jazzer!!

 

Do you think 3 months in would be too late? I’ve been thinking about going to the ER and trying to get prednisone. I saw my ENT a week into getting tinnitus but since I didn’t have detectable loss he didn’t give me anything and then it was the holidays so hard to get an appointment

Lately my hyperacusis bothers/scares me more than tinnitus. If I didn’t have TTTS and hyperacusis I think I would have habituated by now

 

For oral steroids, I believe so unfortunately. I think possibly for intratympanic, too, but I am not sure. See if you can see an otologist ASAP and ask (a lot if regular ENTs don't do IT steroids).
