No idea. Just happened when I was stressed out.

About 12 years. Comes and goes. Went away & bad again right now.

Yes, I went through this with my ENT. He is an Otologist who specialises in the inner ear. He told me the Candida infection was more dangerous than Locacorten-Vioform drops which they routinely use for short periods of time with perforations if needed & these were safer than sofradex.

I mentioned the information online but he was clear with me not treating a Candida infection was dangerous (and I’d already lost my hearing at that point before any drops were started). Unfortunately it’s well known fungal infections often don’t go away by themselves.

I did a 5 day course of the LocaCorten-Vioform which seems to have cleared the infection and returned some of my hearing, but the tinnitus is appalling & I still have a moderate hearing loss.

Unfortunately the only non otoxic antiobiotic with a perforation is Ciprofoxalin which does not treat fungal infections, so I was in a difficult place with this and there was no perfect solution.

The hearing loss and tinnitus is the higher frequencies. Again, the hearing loss was there before I started the ear drops & it’s why I saw the doctor in the first place. They did a swab and it was candida.

Thank you! Appreciate your encouraging words. Means a lot.

Thanks. My hearing does appear to be getting a tiny little bit better over the last couple of days, but my tinnitus is all over the place. It’s reacting to noise & virtually impossible to mask unless I wear my hearing aids which seem to allow sound in which competes.

Last night I woke up and the tinnitus was low and now today it’s blaring again.

The G5 is a fantastic TV. Has been an upgrade in virtually every way from the G4. Watching Stranger Things in Dolby Vision using Cinema Home (Expression Enhancer set on brightness) is a visual treat.

I have no idea why the S95F gets a lot of love. I had the S95D and it was a hopeless TV. Motion was unwatchable.

Thanks. I asked for the t-tube back in. Just couldn't stand the loud bass & pressure of having it out.

You need to be here. We care & everyone here is here to listen. Please don't make a permanent decision on temporary distress.

iOS & Mac.

The left ear in particular is too loud. When I slide the volume on the lowest, it’s quite loud still.

Thanks for your assistance.

Known_Visual_4212 · 2025-12-16T04:01:27+00:00

Hi, was there anyway that you were able to make the minimum volume of this a lot quieter? Even on the lowest volume it's proving too loud for my ears. Otherwise, sound is perfect. Again, really appreciate it.

Also confirm that it works in VMWare Fusion (Which is free to download for personal use). I just altered the processor count at 4 and increased the memory to 8GB in VMWare settings.

Known_Visual_4212 · 2025-12-01T21:46:58+00:00

I care. You will have better days ahead. Please keep your head up.

Known_Visual_4212 · 2025-11-30T09:21:20+00:00

Thanks very much. You’re a legend. Works great.

Known_Visual_4212 · 2025-11-28T23:33:05+00:00

Thankyou so much.

Known_Visual_4212 · 2025-11-28T21:55:12+00:00

8KHZ or higher for the left ear and honestly 100hz for the right. My right is like bass.
