modern airpods might be better for it, but seriously watch out for your condition getting worse. i used earbuds to sleep for a number of years and my tinnitus kept getting worse until i started using a speaker instead.
maybe it’s different per person, but it’s advice i give anyone with tinnitus now just in case hahah
DON’T do headphones in bed to compensate! it’s not the volume, it’s the exposure!
i’ve got bad tinnitus that i made worse with sleepytime audio over a few years. started just playing shit from my phone speaker instead and it stopped progressing entirely, now i’m just at an uncomfortable plateau lmao
day to day stuff is harder to give advice for. i only noticed in the past few years that i’m almost constantly “listening to music” in my head. i reckon that’s probably a coping strategy.
ways to prevent it getting worse are the stupid stuff you’ve already heard: avoid loud noises, be mindful of music volume, etc. BUT one minor thing that you might not consider: go for on/over ear headphones rather than in-ear buds, ESPECIALLY for extended listening. also consider open back sets, if your setup allows it. the perfect seal that earbuds achieve makes for more stress on those tiny sound-detecting hairs you got, even at lower relative volumes!
big thing to remember is once the damage is there, it’s easier to make worse, so you gotta be proactive. lucky thing is it’s actually really easy to be proactive! i’m a concert-guy myself, and i’ve managed to prevent my shit from getting worse while still regularly attending concerts! acoustically tuned earbuds are super fucking great and totally not a gimmack. i use those loop ones, but anything with positive reviews will probably serve you fine.
good luck comrade
uhh parents of children in public spaces comes to mind
it’s patently unfunny if you can hit the notes
also sometimes people are just needlessly rude :/
this for sure first. least destructive and most likely to do anything
two-part clear epoxy will give a better hold and still dissolve with acetone
ahhh that makes sense. the most upsetting thing to me is how much of his own time he’s wasting. like literally everyone who sees his stuff immediately clocks him as either playing a character, or too stupid to interact with.
just a sad, sad person.
still so bummed they didn’t take off anywhere outside japan
this is really interesting, thank you!
man good on them, that response is damning. you’d hope publishers (especially old heads like RWS) would be a little more apprised of these things, but given the circumstances it sounds like they weren’t informed about the use of AI assets.
drove to missouri recently. close to the border i saw a barn with a freshly painted swastika, very ornate.
once we got over the border i saw a house with the message “please stop hurting me and my animals” spray painted onto the siding.
not a place i go if i can help it.
hey his art has come a long way!
somehow more upsetting than that buffalo nonsense
it’s a river that’s a mile wide and an inch deep
big agree, this is about the worst way we could possibly get new watches :/
like fucking neopets has existed for SCORES longer than roblox and i’ve yet to see a massive neopets-pedophile scandal. much less one that the company seems to publically ignore as much as is legally possible.
clearly it’s something you CAN prevent!
glad to have you!
