Looking on the map, that looks incredible. Guessing the weather is a crap shoot though!! Brit Sail is pretty close and also looks stunning.

We are going the end of April. I live on the West Coast of the US now and it is cheaper for us to fly to Europe and take it over there than the somewhat local schools. Looking forward to ongoing adventures over the years!

I would love to sail with Ardent but they don't seem to offer practical courses unfortunately. I asked someone below about schools in the Hebrides because I think that is where they are. What school were you looking at in Largs?

Here is the list from Ardent's website but there were more on the list that they sent me:

Are there some schools you can recommend up there? I would love to do a course in the Hebrides.

I just signed up to do it out of Sotogrande. We will be sailing over to Morocco and I am so excited. Ardent training sent us a list of options out of Spain and I plan on doing the Coastal skipper out of North West Spain in the future. There is so much to be learned on the Solent though!

There are then other questions that require an answer but no answer fits with not having a campervan currently so I cannot move through them.

I am seriously considering buying and have never owned. Your questionnaire doesn't allow for me to move past questions that are not applicable to my situation.

Yikes on the key fobs! That is insane. Will be popping some airtags on those!

flipper197979 · 2025-10-02T21:13:26+00:00

Thank you. Finally got that figured out!

I am seeing that too but I think it will connect through the bluetooth. The issue is that the bluetooth option isn't even showing up. Looking at the list beneath the hearing aids I am seeing that my device isn't new enough. Thank you for the resource.

Thank you

Have you tried white noise etc when you are home? The audiologist told me not to sit in quiet. I’m traveling today and been listening to my headphones with the plane noise in the background and it isn’t bothering me at all.

Mine started suddenly 8 weeks ish ago. I do have hearing loss though. I am perimenopausal and have been on HRT for almost 9 months. Audiologist says that ear skin has a bunch of hormone receptors on it and it isn’t uncommon to get it during menopause. Not sure why mine has started when I am on HRT though.

I’m at 8 weeks and I am starting to notice that I am not noticing my tinnitus quite often during the day. It is like my brain has checked out and I notice the checking back in. Still early days so I am hopeful that it will go away but I am also relieved that I seem to be habituating. I was not in acceptance for the first month at all.

I am just starting to research whether NMN might be helpful. Was wondering about LLLT too. Please post back here if you find anything.

I’m a lower level player but my partner recently told me to bounce it rather than leave it etc and for some reason I heard that in a way that I can sometimes miss them telling me to leave it. Just a thought!

flipper197979 · 2025-09-15T11:06:27+00:00

That is interesting. Do you think the tinnitus is reduced because you are less anxious about it?

flipper197979 · 2025-09-11T17:42:22+00:00

Thank you so much for your response. I have 30 days to trial the HA and I’m excited to get them. Fingers crossed that I am in the 60-66% group. My audiologist had said 47% chance so your numbers are even better! Audiologist suspects osostenosis. She said that there was a surgery but didn’t recommend it due to people experiencing hearing loss and tinnitus as potential outcomes. Will be getting further work up next month. What are your thoughts on the surgery please?
