hello newfren. unfortunately this board is just /pol/tards larping as intellectuals. I hope you can find nice books to read though.

[Anonymous No.17513746]

>>17513708
this is a nice place if you don't want to read books but bait people into arguments
if you want to read just pic up literally anything for that would be better then to indulge the anons here by asking for their "charts"

Tinnitus is some real bullshit. You just gotta live with an ring forever. That's it. No cure. I've got used to it but I worry it will get substantially worse in my old age with still no cure.

I used to be perfectly happy with my tinnitus until I started seeing you fuckers saying "oohh but what if it gets worse", now I get paranoid when I think about it. I don't even notice it unless I pay attention, which I don't, since it's become a background noise to my life.

I think mine has gotten a little worse since my youth. I hear magic mushrooms might help. Since it’s in the part of the brain that processes hearing, a psychotropic might do it.

[Anonymous No.17513802]

my tinnitus is very mild and i can only really hear it when there is a relative silence, so those who always suffer from it have my sincerest sympathies

I dunno, it came on last week, unprovoked. I already have an appointment to see a specialist however.

MDMA gives temporary relief. Be happy you didn't also develop visual snow, which typically goes along with tinnitus. I unfortunately have both

If it came out of nowhere then maybe you can make it go out of nowhere.
Just manifest some energy, perhaps.

It isn’t in the eardrum, it is literally in the brain, not imaginary like psychosomatic implies

I did though. Would much rather get rid of the tinnitus.

You have tiny hear cells in your cochleae (the snail shell-looking things in your inner ear) that bend in response to vibration (i.e. sound) and produce electric signals your brain interprets as sound (the frequency depends on where in the cochleae the hair cells are located). Loud sounds can permanently bend the hair cells, so they will either not respond to vibration (hearing loss) or they will produce a constant signal (tinnitus).
Note that these cells do not regenerate, so any hearing damage is permanent, so even minor damages accumulate over your lifetime until it's enough for you to notice it.

I have a very slight tinnitus because of my jaw. Sometimes it gets worse, but I have been able to get used to it with time. Most of the time I don't even notice it; unless something like this thread reminds me.

If it's not from loud noise, then it's probably curable. Your brain can believe it's picking up signals, in the same way some people feel itching where an amputated limb should be. There are gadgets to retrain your brain to stop hearing it, the same way there are gadgets to retrain your brain that your arm isn't there. Basically you have a noise box that you tune to sound like the noise signal your brain is getting, and then turn down the noise on the machine. Eventually your brain starts connecting turning down the box to the signal lessening, and then you can just turn it off and not turn the machine back on and hey you're cured.
On the other hand it can be a couple other things (blood pressure problems being picked up by your ears, jaw problems from wisdom teeth or poor alignment, terminal brain cancer) but those are pretty rare compared to your brain misinterpreting signals.

You should move into an all female convent just like Musetto de Lamprecchio.
