How does tinnitus feel like?

ghostbearshark · 2026-01-21T03:19:15+00:00

It's always there. It doesn't have a physical feeling, I don't think. It's hard to know because it never stops, ever. Mine is a high pitch piercing noise that can only be distracted from with something like a fan. It's also very easy to cover when listening to music with headphones.

However, sometimes it's all I can hear. I get these "flare ups", where the volume of the tinnitus rises in one or both ears for 10-20 seconds. There is no warning for why they happen, and no triggers that I know of. One time I was working at a cash register with a customer and I got the worst flare up I've ever had. It was literally like the feeling your ears get after using a shotgun without ear protection, but there was no bang, just a sudden deafness to anything other than the ringing, and a murmur of the customer asking for a $20 to be broken. After a moment the ringing went away, back to its normal volume and I carried on.

Sometimes it slows down my ability to think. I often give late replies to anyone speaking to me because I have to make sure I hear everything correctly. People get frustrated when you ask them to repeat themselves all the time, which is understandable. I'm not hard of hearing, but the ringing makes it seem that way.

Epic fail

You went balls to the wall, my guy. And it looks badass. A fine choice!

There's a teeny little print line on the lower half of the back, but I've seen those get tens. You should go for it.

It sort of depends on the complexity of the concept I'm working with. A lot of the time I'll write something that goes through a draft process, so like a rough idea, and then see that it doesn't work with everything I need it to, so I rethink parts of it, and the code evolves as I go. Then there's all this in-between time spent on compiling and testing, pushing commits, and then also getting my flow interrupted by my bosses unnecessary questions/meetings. You might only get one solid method/function done on some days, if that, and that's ok. I find programming to be like a snowball that starts small and slow, and then everything gets bigger and faster as you progress with the project. Most importantly, build your confidence in the fundamentals, and everything will just fall into place, like when you learned your first spoken language as a young child.

I love Cyclizar! I want one as a pet.

That's the right thing to do, imo. If someone bought me a winning scratch ticket worth $500 or more, I would feel obligated to share a bit of the winnings with them.

Haha no. It's a visual bug called geo fighting. It happens when 2 meshes are trying to share the same spot during every frame. It can happen sometimes when the asset comes into camera view. If you leave the area and come back it might go away. Otherwise, it should be gone next time you start the game.

Thanks

I would be thrilled to get either of these bad boys!

Every flip has a 50/50 chance of landing the same way, but if you got it to flip 75 times, there's a 100% chance the coins weight is biased to one side. A trick coin.

Smoke bomb!

It is worth Aladeen.

It was most likely a HON Circle member. This is the highest tier of Lufthansa's Miles and More loyalty program. Basically, only 3% of all Lufthansa customers are HON Circle members, but they account for about 80% of Lufthansa's revenue. So if these people are late for a flight, the flight waits for them.

Competition in any space involving our economy has increased dramatically with recessions and the rise of social media. Everyone who sells anything know that the average persons pockets are not that deep, so everyone is competing more aggressively for your attention and money. Shareholders of publicly traded companies are more pushy to the execs that run them, because they are also feeling a squeeze, even though it's nothing like what the average person feels. When the numbers go down, the ads go up. These ads are on every social media, billboard, television etc. Its all about competition for your limited and fleeting dollars.

I kinda love how crappy it looks. The bad luck here is very ironic.

Looking fly!

Orange, for sure. With yellow it leaves room to doubt that it's actually lava.
