      I like posts that offer friendship, support, and helpful suggestions on coping methods, that suggest kindness.
      Basically things that are ‘uncool.’

      I dislike dismissive attitudes that suggest that the all important thing is ‘winning the argument,’
      and constitute ‘self preening.’
      Call me old fashioned......

      Some of my favourite posts are of
      Pussycats - that make me feel all cosy inside,

      and quality cartoons that give me either a smile, or a psychological insight.

      Also some good one-liners.

      Polls are interesting. I also like to read posts from sufferers who have loud intrusive tinnitus as I can relate to them. I don't bother reading posts that turn into arguments. Statements regarding the volume or pitch of tinnitus making no difference to the ability to habituate will annoy me. Humour is always good.

      Cause of Tinnitus:
      Uncertain, now very somatic, started with noise?
      I like postings that describe the symptoms as precisely as possible. And postings in which the cause is "researched" as precisely as possible.

      I notice that many members are into the research news, obviously, we all need a cure/treatment.

      Also:
      Success stories.
      Pussycat pictures.
      Habituation.
      Coping methods.
      Support.
      Pussycat pictures.
      Medical notes.
      Location shots.
      Fav music.
      Fav films.
      (....er.....did I mention pussycats yet..?)

      Some days I would just like to chat to other folks, not necessarily about tinnitus and related aspects.

      The posts I like best are the more personal ones, where we can actually learn something about what makes other people tick.

      Okay - I’ll admit it - I’m probably nosey.

      I guess it is the virtually untapped social aspect of the membership.

      For me, it is "horror stories" about what had caused tinnitus to come back or to spike. I am trying to learn from those stories.
