Worked for me too, but only very briefly. Even so, it’s a nice reminder of the good old days before the cicadas invaded my brain!
People who have tinnitus should have their hearing checked by an audiologist. If your hearing is impaired, hearing aids can reduce tinnitus.
Bummer, nothing here (or should that be hear?).
I’ve an audiologist, I’ve spent ~ ten thousand dollars on hearing aids. All they do is increase ambient sound, voice music whatever to help overcome the tinnitus. But it allows me to hear in areas that aren’t noisy.
Bars and restaurants are usually not good for this.
My best bet is facial clues and context. I can usually puzzle things out. I’m not a guy that likes to go to big parties anyway, so I have a damn good excuse now. Work meetings too. I can CC those at least. One of my previous coworkers called another coworker the mumbler. Seriously, ENUNCIATE for god sake, don’t mumble to me from a different room.
Now it’s not a problem, I work from home. Sixteen days to retirement!
Yes, I have to ask my wife to talk to me, not to the floor or her shoes. But I can get more normal conversations, unless the noise ir really bad- and my noise comes and goes,
I get labyrinthitis every few years. I treat it with anti-inflammatories and add Zyrtec for the nausea
I was sort of scared to even look that up. Never had heard of it. Bummer, but at least it’s a bit treatable I guess. Our ears are a very important control system of our body in many ways.
Woo hoo!
