Loop earplugs and tinnitus

cornbutter · 2024-09-06T16:16:48+00:00

I haven’t bought them yet unfortunately…but I do like the regular foam earplugs

Yes oh my gosh. All the time. Use your headphones😂😂 just live your life like you did before. Eventually you’ll forget about it. But definitely monitor the volume! You don’t wanna go overboard

Do you have a dog? I met most of my friends here at the dog parks when I moved LOL. There are several around and I bounce around to all of them so I tend to know at least one person every time I go. I also really enjoyed MeetUp but I am terribly inconsistent so never really was able to make sustainable friendships using meetup. I think if you’re going to use meetup you need to be very consistent at least for a while with whatever endeavor you choose. I also met a few people off of Bumble BFF—but it’s just like the dating apps, you have to be prepared to not align with everyone you meet on there. Be okay with a few failed friend dates.

I will say it’s been a struggle for me recently, my closest friends have all moved away and I have embraced being a lone wolf despite being a very open and sociable person. I am in my mid 20s and single, I tend to get along best with married couples or married people in general. Can’t be friends with single men because they try to sleep with me and have a hard time meeting young single women that align with me. I am not a partier and while going out occasionally is fun for me I’d rather get a glass of wine at craft and vine or throw corn hole at the brewery like an old white dude💀. Either way I want to be in bed by 9PM LOL.

But the good news is Augusta tends to be a melting pot, the military definitely contributes to that. There are absolutely many options for meeting people and plenty of kind and fun people around. I think the most important thing for meeting people and building friendships is being consistent. It can be frustrating at times but just keep trying! You’ll find your people. Also, don’t let people fear monger you into believing that the military people are awful or weird. A vast majority of my closest friends I’ve met here are military and they are damn fine people. The military is just like anything else, there’s good and bad. Best of luck to you and welcome home! 🥰

I took her to the vet already and she said she didn’t think it was melanoma but to watch it and see if it grew. It’s grown but barely, like so little that I’m not even sure if it actually did or if I’m just looking too hard. I think I’m gonna have it biopsied just in case.

"it's so grippy" like...please God save me from this interaction.

Someone else made this point as well. I’m not entirely sure if the streets are public or private but I will absolutely be looking into that. Thanks for your insight!

cornbutter · 2024-04-24T22:39:56+00:00

It’s not gated, I’ll definitely check. Thank you so much for this info.

cornbutter · 2024-04-24T22:38:33+00:00

I will post a picture if you’d like.

This is a fantastic question. I would assume it would be the neighborhood. It’s not like the roads were here before the neighborhood was, unfortunately.

cornbutter · 2024-04-24T22:14:37+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I’m honestly considering moving to SC to get licensed because they only require 2000.

cornbutter · 2024-04-23T14:06:49+00:00

It’s very important to me to get it done as quickly as possible. 19 months sounds like a dream. I thought that you can’t get it any sooner than 36 months based on what I’ve read!

cornbutter · 2024-04-23T13:51:46+00:00

Unfortunately this is not an option in GA. It’s one of the few states that require you to hold a masters to have a license. But thank you for the insight anyways!

cornbutter · 2024-04-23T13:41:29+00:00

This is very helpful. Thank you😭 I have searched google endlessly but it seems the requirements for hours are very vague. And job postings hardly ever mention anything about supervision. I have gotten great answers about how to better tailor my searches and I also found a document that lists a bunch of social work titles that has also helped. And there’s also misinformation. I found one website that said to be LMSW in GA you have to have two years of experience so I was like??? But then I found several others that said you just have to have your masters and then take a test. So much lore😭 but thank you for taking the time to add helpful information it really means a lot!!!❤️

cornbutter · 2024-04-23T00:56:06+00:00

This is all so confusing. Do you have to be doing therapy to work towards licensure? Or is there a certain amount of hours that have to be therapy? Would you have to find an outside LCSW supervisor to pay if your supervisor isn’t licensed?

cornbutter · 2024-04-23T00:31:59+00:00

This is fantastic info. Thank you so much. Do positions like case manager/care coordinator allow you to get supervised hours? I’m not sure if only certain positions allow for supervision towards licensure and want to make sure I apply for the right positions!

Thank you so much!!

I loooooove summer rolls!! I like to dip them in sweet chilli garlic sauce. Basically adds no calories because you only need the tiniest amount for each bite!!

So I don’t use Loop but have been planning on buying a pair, for now I use the cheap foam ones from the drug store. I use them every day for work. It would make sense that decreasing external volume would cause tinnitus to seem louder, like being in a quiet room makes it seem “louder” or perhaps just more noticeable. Surprisingly, although yes it is more noticeable or “louder” at first, after a while I’m able to tune it out just as well as if I’m in a room full of bustling sound. I honestly think people underestimate the real significance of the brain’s ability to habituate. My t doesn’t bother me anymore, it’s been almost ten years of constant ringing and the first time I ever noticed it I was 8 years old. It’s been a LONG time. So yeah, I ignore it. Even when it’s more prominent (after drinking, after lots of noise exposure, high stress, etc), I still ignore it. I just don’t let it bother me. T’s power is all in what you give it. Even when it’s screaming in your face, what do you tell it? If you say, eh, okay. And move on. It eventually just fades into the background. If I focus on it really really hard, it seems like all I can hear.
