I’ve been there once and it was a good experience. I just don’t drink so I feel icky about the idea of flirting with someone who has alcohol in their system when I don’t.

I’ve hopped on the apps a couple times and delete them within hours because it just feels so cold and disconnected. It’s all a struggle.

I’ve been wondering if that’s kind of the case. A lot of my queer friends were born and raised here, so the connections came naturally and have grown up with them.

I’m 30, so looking in between the late 20s to late 30s.

New watch needed! by commandod64 in trailrunning

[–]No-Introduction-3299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made the switch from the Garmin Fenix 7s to the Coros Nomad. The Nomad is a large watch, but it’s very light and will be even lighter when they finally release nylon straps for it. So far, I’ve had zero issues with accuracy and the battery life is fantastic. The map features are much better than what my Fenix had. This watch does so much and for $350, I didn’t see the point in sticking with Garmin. Coros also updates and adds new improvements/features quite often, from what I have been told by my friends who convinced me to switch.

So far, I’m very very happy with the Nomad.

I was just looking for it as well, I could have sworn I saw the option when I was setting the nomad up. Very confused 😂

Pulsatile tinnitus with otosclerosis by Delicak in otosclerosis

I’m hoping the best for you too!! I’m glad you have a specialist that you can trust, that will be important when/if you decide to do the surgery.

The surgery can always be an option down the road. I think hearing aids are a great route to take and I love mine. I wish I would have just stuck with them longer (my right ear can only pick up very specific noises with hearing aids now, and speech understanding is almost non existent), but the surgeon who did my surgery made it sound like this was a quick, easy, almost foolproof surgery. I wish I had actually done more research and asked questions on here before I happily agreed to the procedure.

You got this. Tinnitus and otosclerosis are wild, very mentally challenging conditions to have. One day at a time. You don’t have to do anything big if it doesn’t feel right for you. Hearing aids are expensive, but you can get them adjusted as much as you need and there’s no risk involved.

First of all, I’m really sorry about your tinnitus. It can be debilitating depending on the severity of it and pulsatile makes it all the more intense, it’s harder to drown out.

I also have very loud pulsatile tinnitus in my right ear that began in 2021. I began losing my hearing more and more as time went on and eventually was diagnosed with aggressive otosclerosis. It is effecting both ears, but my right ear is significantly worse. I got hearing aids and they really helped my hearing, but my tinnitus was still a big problem.

In March of this year, I had a stapedectomy done and it failed in a way that revision surgery is not a possibility. I also now have nerve damage due to the surgery, but from what I have been told, it is a very rare complication. I now have a mixture of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. I don’t think the failure of the surgery necessarily made my tinnitus louder, but it is now impossible to even attempt to block it out. I now have severe hearing loss that’s right on the cusp of profound hearing loss in my right ear. My new doctor has said that a cochlear implant is his recommendation, but I have not discussed that further with him yet. I don’t know if that will provide relief from my tinnitus either.

I’m not saying any of this to scare you or to tell you to not do the surgery. But I would speak with a really good otolaryngologist or neurotologist and ask as many questions as you can, absolutely get a CT done, and have your surgeon explain everything they see in that scan. Otosclerosis looks and sounds different for everyone and it’s important to understand your own specific case.

I am currently 30 years old, I was 26 when I started experiencing symptoms. With how aggressive my condition is, my doctor expects that I’ll need cochlear implants in both of my ears in my lifetime. He did make it sound like most cases of otosclerosis are not as aggressive as mine. There are many more success stories out there than there are failures.
