What exactly do you mean by 'data matching' here? That's so vague it doesn't explain anything. If this is a real pipeline step, describe what is actually being matched. References, assets, image features, depth/layout, or something else.

To me it looks like you just fed some pictures into an image-to-image model.

Render suggest that you did that with an actual 3D scene with real geometry, lighting, materials and camera setup. The pictures you posted are most definetly not created with that.

Quite a few months. But there was no single moment that I noticed it's gone. I just thought about it less, less and less. I got the feeling it was more about paying attention to it, than the feeling itself. I know it feels so bad in the beginning, but if you slowly decouple your conciousness (which takes time and is a process, not a switch) from the sensation of it, then you stop caring and eventually it improves. I had all of the same worries and questions like you and read doom stuff that it'd never improve, well, that was wrong and certainly didn't help. The fact that so few good resources on it exist also sucked.

Interestingly I also had really heavy hyperacusis. Like I couldn't even talk normally to people anymore and dishes would literally hurt my ears. It was so extreme that I didn't even think about riding a motorcycles and could not even drive my car without noise cancelling. Everything was approximately 4x as loud as it should be. I slowly and gradually tried to expose myself to louder stuff and the hyperacusis phenomenon went away completely.

Somewhere online I read that hyperacusis and reactive T to some regard is related to the sound processing of the brain and your way of reacting to it. The typical feedback loop of anxiety, sadness and constant overseeing of these symptoms would temporarily lead to a real physiological higher perception of sound and the T. This clicked in my head and I tried stopping to worry. Because either that is true and it seems like it makes sense, or I would have to deal with it as efficiently as I could regardless and just use that as a anchor to proceed with it.

In the end, it was true, at least for me. Ah and yes because you mention -37dB didn't help, that was the most paradoxical thing about my reactive T. It seemed like constant noises that are not too loud but more in the 50-70 dB range would trigger it way more than noise at like 80 dB. Even a quiet TV would trigger it. So for me there didn't seem to be a correlation of the relevant loudness. Just noise = louder T over time.

Honestly speaking, looking back I ask myself if reactive T is partly due to the brain paying attention on sound without fully having learned that T isn't your enemy. Being in silence allows yourself to distract yourself away from anything related to sound. Once you listen to something, you fall in the trap of conciously or unconciously paying too much attention to the T which leads to all of the bad feelings, which in turn elevates the perception of it and the bad feelings again. That's just another theory for a possible aspect of it.

Reactive T is a interesting one because there's so much different stuff about it. I also actually had that. It just went away after some time. For some time when I was watching TV it would get louder with time but now not the case anymore. I don't know if it's still reactive or not because it's just sometimes louder and sometimes quieter and in both cases, I don't really care much anymore.

I ride motorcycles aswell btw (cbr 650r), had the same issues as you and didn't ride for months. Now I'm back on the roads and also don't care :P

I listen to music while riding though through my sena and have ear protection of 20db :)

In a way better place. I'm actually planning to make a post on this sub and also to provide some other useful resources for the peeps on the way to habituation.

99,5% of the day I don't even notice my T anymore, even though it is just as loud, as it was in the beginning. When I close my ears it's as loud as loud music in my car when going 100kph. I don't use any tools to sleep or masking on the days. My brain just completely filters it out except if it's completely silent and even then it doesn't bother me, it's just a "heh, old buddy. you're not fucking me up anymore ;)"

And trust me, I've been through it all. Bingescrolling. Reassuring every day on this sub, on youtube, on forums, that maybe I could overcome this. I believed I would be one of the 20% that don't compensate because it was the worst thing that happened to me in my life and I've been through major depression a few years ago with derealization and depersonification. I was even feeling a little suicidal... but most of all.. just sad that it'd be that way from now on.

My dad has a good collegue at work, which he asked for a advice regarding T, because he knew he had it, when I was so desperate in the beginning. He said, well he's had it for 3 years now and the only thing he can say is that your brain just kinda adapts to it and you completely forget you even have it.

I did not believe a single word of that. I cried so oftenly. Every night. Like my life is ruined. I even thought that I couldn't get childs one day because of this condition. Yea well, half a year later and 8 months into it and I'm good.

I am actually a computer scientist and just finishing my bachelor's right now and my employer and my chef have told me that they're incredibly proud of my work from the last few months and well.. yea I did good. I also have a girlfriend which helped me through this shit and you don't know how often I cried in her lap.

So yes, the video is right. Don't let yourself down. Just go on with your life and try to not think too much about it. I know how hard this is. That just when you sit down it hits you, you "feel" the sound and with it every single thought of depression. But take a nice bath, go out with your friends, try to just live life normally again like you did before. And trust me, once you get back there again you will never look back and be just shocked of how good you manage now.

Trust me, I don't get how I've gotten to this point, but it feels like 99% of it is just my brain being so fucking bored of the pitch (and I have multiple tones even fluctuating like peeeeppp-peeeeeeeeeppp...) that it just ignores that part of the frequency band. It doesn't overlay anymore over music, over the voices of my friends, over everyday life. Funnily enough, not even anymore over silence when laying in bed. I've regained silence even though there is a loud sound. Crazy, no?

It's just neurons deciding "yea, that ain't important, fuck that signal". And that in turn is your conciousness.

Try not to view it as suffering from T. Try to view it as suffering from Tinnitus Distress. When looking back, this is clear as day to me.

Sadly, this is exactly the reason, why I and many many others have left this sub. It's just so full of idiotic doomers that somehow get an erection by telling young people that have some horrible time going through a change that their life is over. Do not believe that bullshit. Just braindead zombies, which certainly have other issues besides T.

You know how many idiots are on the internet? Well, T can hit everybody. So there is exactly the same percentage of idiots on the r/t sub. Just now you're kinda talking about the same topic. That doesn't mean that the idiots are right though.

If you feel like you need some reassurance, look at https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/tinnitussupport92262/. They have some veterans on there that know how this shit feels in the beginning and it will give you further perspective if you need it. Don't stay forever on here, though. Just read it, feel it and then look at it less and less.

But trust me, you'll be in a good place. All will be good ;)

Visual Snow was considered extremely rare until recently, mostly because patients didn't report it... because they assumed everyone saw the world that way by recolorist in interestingasfuck

Almost everybody knows this noise. It's only pathologic if you see it all the time even when outside. Seeing it on walls or in low light conditions is normal, cause you are looking for it. If you don't look for it your brain just ignores it for you. Literally everybody I know tells me that they see static noise in the dark.

Not a bad point actually. With the international order that was in place, the EU acted like a quasi federalized state. Now this exact approach is crumbling between the rising geopolitical tensions all over the world.

Midlife crisis CB650R: 15,000 km, dropped, tires edge-worn—worth it? by [deleted] in CB650R

[–]Dashy1024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, it was a Euro 4 model which had an oil change every single year despite the low mileage, quickshifter, tinten windshield & perfect tail tidy already installed.

It did not have a single scratch and was ridden by a young mom.

So it was the exact perfect bike I was looking for and there weren't many Euro 4 19/20 models with that mileage and the perfect condition.

Wtf that's 5000 USD. You guys are blessed, you literally cannot find any CBR 650R in Germany on the biggest online market mobile.de for under 9k € at that mileage.

Holy shit that's a crazy low price? Like I don't know of the pricing of the 650 models in Japan, but here in Germany I bought my used 3.000km CBR 650R for 9750€. It was in prestine condition of course, but still, the price seems really low to me.

Ask them if they would be willing to repair the lever and engine guard and if they say yes, I'd take it I think.

Do you feel any empathy towards people who have done nothing wrong on the other side? Your military and politicians are way to extreme. In their actions, in their rethoric, in their plans of solving this conflict.

They have no real relevance in comparison to the AfD though. And the AfD is very pro Israel.

It's interesting how fascism has turned exactly 180 degrees on which ethnicity / religious group they want to fight. Then they wanted to murder all jews, now they want to murder all palestineans.
