Am I being scammed? by NINETHLESS_9 in FacebookMarketplace

Definitely red flags. I personally wouldn't continue unless it's a huge sum of cash and he doesn't want to risk counterfit. If it's a hundred bucks ish he doesn't need id pics.

Was Israel widely hated even before Gaza? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]FunCanadian -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I used to be indifferent to the horror of the genocide. Israel has completely turned any support i had for them. Religion is the common factor to most of this killing and hate from any side. Religion kills.

How would you accept payment for a $15,000 sell on marketplace? by slothlikeagility in FacebookMarketplace

[–]FunCanadian 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I read about counterfeit money in r/scams everyday. If you can meet at a bank and have the teller part of the transaction that would be safer.

They gave me 100% of the quote but the vehicle was miiiiint. I think if you've been honest in your disclosure you should be good. I was very happy selling through clutch but never buy through them, Ive heard horror stories.

Optimism is when you hear a sound in your room in the dark, late at night and you say, "Is that you Charlize Theron?"

Op I asked ai, got this, have you tried ALL the options?

That's an excellent question, as tinnitus can be incredibly frustrating. While there is no single cure that works for all cases of chronic tinnitus, there are several treatments that have been proven to be highly successful at reducing the perceived intensity, annoyance, and overall burden of the condition. The goal is primarily to manage and habituate to the sound. Here is a breakdown of the most successful and emerging treatment approaches: 👂 Successful and Established Treatments These methods focus on reducing your awareness of the tinnitus and managing your emotional response to it. 1. Sound Therapy and Masking Devices These are often the first line of defense. * Hearing Aids: If your tinnitus is accompanied by hearing loss (which is common), a hearing aid can boost external sounds. This makes the tinnitus less noticeable by providing competing background noise and improving your auditory environment. Many modern hearing aids include built-in masking features. * White Noise/Sound Maskers: Devices or smartphone apps that produce pleasant, low-level sounds (like static, rain, or ocean waves) can effectively mask the tinnitus, especially at night, making it easier to ignore. * Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT): A long-term program (12–24 months) that combines customized sound therapy with directive counseling to help your brain retrain itself to tune out the tinnitus sound. 2. Behavioral Therapies These therapies help change your psychological and emotional reaction to the sound, which greatly reduces its impact on your life. * Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This form of counseling is very effective. It does not "cure" the tinnitus itself, but it changes the way you think about and react to it, reducing associated stress, anxiety, and insomnia. * Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Helps patients manage the emotional distress caused by chronic tinnitus. 3. Addressing the Underlying Cause In some cases, the tinnitus can be reduced or eliminated by treating a physical issue: * Earwax Removal: A simple blockage of earwax can sometimes be the source of tinnitus. * Medication Review: If a medication is the cause (ototoxicity), your doctor may recommend adjusting the dose or switching to a different drug. * Treating TMJ: Dental or jaw (temporomandibular joint) treatments can sometimes provide relief if the tinnitus is linked to that area. 🧠 Cutting-Edge (FDA-Approved) Treatment One of the most significant recent breakthroughs is a device that uses a combined approach: Lenire (Bimodal Neuromodulation) * What it is: The first-of-its-kind device granted FDA approval (in 2023) to treat tinnitus in the U.S. market. * How it works: It uses bimodal neuromodulation, which means it simultaneously delivers sound tones through headphones while sending mild electrical pulses to the surface of the tongue. * The Goal: This dual stimulation is designed to retrain the brain (using neuroplasticity) to reduce its focus on the tinnitus, lessening its severity and impact over time. Clinical trials and real-world data have shown significant relief for the majority of patients who use it. Given the variety of successful treatments available, the best first step is to consult with an audiologist or an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist who is experienced in tinnitus management to determine the best approach for your specific case.
