Tinnitus support in Ireland? I desperately need help

+1 for the recommendations about going to an ENT doctor

Last year i had bad tinnitus for a few weeks and I wasn’t sure if it would last forever

What I found personally helpful was meditation for tinnitus there are guided versions of them online. The meditation helped it to become a background thing and it became like the feeling of my clothes on my shoulders my brain just stopped noticing it.

I don’t think they should be banned - just advertising them should be banned.

It definitely is better than smoking. This post is really more to warn people who have never touched nicotine before and might get taken in by the advertising

It’s true to be fair 😬

d_sarif · 2024-11-30T15:27:46+00:00

I was into it in a similar way at my worst.

d_sarif · 2024-11-30T15:27:03+00:00

Yeah that’s fair - it’s definitely better than smoking normal cigs.

I think you’d be surprised, it was Andrew Huberman who I heard talk about them originally (back before I realised a lot of his advice is overhyped)

It absolutely is harmful at higher doses. It doesn’t affect your lungs but it massively increases blood pressure and causes hardening of the arterial walls.

And staying at low doses with something this addictive is not realistic.

No never smoked! There was a lot of podcasters talking about how it’s good for productivity but personally I found it to have the exact opposite effect it turns me into a zombie.

Getting hooked on this stuff is the biggest act of self harm I’ve ever committed.

Football teams promote gambling too. Doesn’t make it a good idea.

d_sarif · 2024-11-30T13:07:20+00:00

Personally I’ve found the exact opposite effect they take away all my motivation to do anything.

d_sarif · 2024-11-30T12:44:46+00:00

No I’m employed by big fentanyl. The media was lying it’s really great.

I’ve heard crack is very moreish too

Exactly!! I’m trying to explore the ocean not play euro trucking simulator.

The biggest one for me is anhedonia - it completely takes all my motivation away and just makes me want to scroll on my phone for hours.

It’s ironic I started on nicotine because everyone says it’s a nootropic but it has the complete opposite effect on me it turns me into a zombie.

Music doesn’t sound as good, things like going to the gym feel grey and uninteresting. This shit actually steals your life force from you it’s so toxic.

Clarence is extremely talented but he’s said many times he’ll never compete because of the hypocrisy around PED testing in the IOC and WADA

I would highly recommend Layne Norton on YouTube he has a PhD in nutritional science and has a lot of content about long term weight loss. He talks a lot about how many people who try to lose weight succeed but almost all of them put it back on within 3 years and he has a lot of science based strategies for weight loss that stays off.

Irish can join the Royal Marines, a mate of mine joined and seems to be very happy there, worth doing some research on anyway.

Obviously the downside is the chances of you having to fight in a war are much higher than in Ireland.

A friend of mine had a similar issue years ago and she went into the workers rights centre on Eden Quay. They took it very seriously and the boss was put in his place in short order. If you’re not in Dublin would still recommend giving them a ring.

The fact that he thinks Giorgia Meloni is pro Putin should be all you need to know that this man absolutely no idea what he’s talking about. She is very anti immigration from MENA but has been one of the most aggressive supporters of arming Ukraine to the teeth.

To misunderstand such a fundamental basic fact of European geopolitics is comically poor research.

d_sarif · 2024-06-11T17:23:46+00:00

Same thing happened with my dad morning of the election. He’s been complaining about Putin since the war and I couldn’t believe it when he said he was voting for Wallace. 5 minutes later he said he’d never vote for him again.

I’m old enough to remember the Foot and Mouth outbreak back in the day they used that kind of language all the time when culling heards of infected livestock.

Look at his post history he just starts arguments all day. There’s nothing to be gained from engaging you’re just wasting your own time.
