No, I didn’t even try. Looked at the pictures though! Thanks for your insightful, thought-provoking display of erudition.
I’m trying to imagine just how much spray paint is layered on those things. Does anyone know if the graffiti started immediately after the installation was completed?

I’m on a mission to let everyone know that if a GP tells you that you have fluid, chances are you don’t. I don’t know if they really think they see fluid or if it’s just something they can say to make you feel like you’re being treated (usually with a mild antibiotic). If it was an ENT that’s different; they know fluid when they see it. I’m wondering if you might have a TMJ issue. You might google tinnitus with eye-blinking— there are several different possibilities.
Violent hostility? Not my experience and I grew up in small town west Texas.
They should. You have to be sure they are the right size and that they are properly inserted. I would also be taking a decongestant.
You can buy pressure equalizing earplugs. The ones I am familiar with are called Earplanes and I know they are available at places like Walgreens.
Not a doctor but I suspect if you leave it alone it will work its way out. Just don’t mess with your ear. NO Q-TIPS!
Wasn’t all her. He took her for granted.
About the Beatles? Everything! I was born in 1960 and I remember them on Ed Sullivan, I remember the fury over John’s Jesus comment, I remember the “Paul is dead” speculation. . . you name it. Huge fan all my life. Hearing Howard Cosell announce John’s death on Monday Night Football was the first time I ever grieved a celebrity death.
Your adenoids were removed because they were likely enlarged and blocking your Eustachian tubes which was why fluid wouldn’t drain from your middle ear(persistent fluid leads to glue ear). If you’re having to watch people to be sure of what’s being said, you absolutely should get tested. I imagine your life could be a lot easier.
You think this is a game?

Also Photographs and Memories. Just kills me.
I loved it! It was so odd I watched it twice and recommended to some people then realized I was in a distinct minority
Did anyone else see the Ask Reddit (I think) post the other day about the most unfriendly place you’ve ever been? Lubbock was surprisingly high in the comments. I was shocked. I mean, it’s ugly but unfriendly? Not my experience.
I’m sorry. Did you get to the point that you just accepted he was going to die? There is so much addiction in my family that I’ve unfortunately been there more than once. Honestly, with my brother, I didn’t see what he had to live for. He never married because he was too consumed with getting drunk but if he had, it would have blown up spectacularly.
My brother. He drank his adulthood away (mid-twenties through mid-fifties). My parents rescued him time and again; he wound up living with them more than half the time—rent-free, laundry and meals all provided by my mother who had a huge amount of guilt because she too was an alcoholic (got sober in her early fifties). He never got fired, he stormed off every single job he ever had because he has massive anger issues and insecurity (obviously). Once our parents were gone, his binges got way worse, of course. Being his only family, I had to make the wrenching decision to step back and accept that he was likely going to die. He finally got so close, a neighbor got involved and got an AA long-timer to intervene. So he’s still alive but he’s only a shell. He was a bright, FUNNY kid with all the potential in the world and now he’s just pitiful and sad. His brain never really matured and god only knows the amount of damage all that drinking did.
Yep, I started wearing it in the nineties — I think that’s when it was introduced? A guy who worked a perfume counter once told me it was considered a very floral, old lady scent but it never smelled like that to me. I did go easy on the application though.
The thresholds you’ve written here show a flat loss — not unusual at all. I wonder if you have one threshold that jumped way up. That would be kind of unusual but no big deal. Still, it would explain her comment. Type A/AD refers to the shape of your tympanograms (where air pressure was applied to your ear canal). They are both good results indicating no fluid or eardrum retraction meaning you don’t have a middle ear infection. Do you know what your word recognition scores were (where you repeated a list of words after a phrase like “you will say”?) They would be in percentages.
I don’t use it anymore because so many people are bothered by it, but I wore Beautiful by Estée Lauder for years. My mom wore Opium by YSL.
She has the sweetest face!
I’m an audiologist with Meniere’s and I don’t think that’s what you have. Meniere’s comes in spells where you have a sudden, noticeable drop in hearing and loud (I mean LOUD), distracting tinnitus. You may or may not have vertigo but, if you do, it is spinning vertigo that makes it difficult to function. The hearing loss, initially, is primarily in the low tones (frequencies)— it’s a classic presentation that any ENT should be very familiar with. I can’t imagine why an ENT would say they had never seen ANY kind of loss before— that really stumps me; they see EVERY configuration of hearing loss. Is she perhaps young and fairly new in her practice? Steroids are commonly injected through the eardrum for Meniere’s or a sudden sensorineural hearing loss (generally a very sudden, noticeable change). I suspect that’s what she’s thinking you may have. I have had injections through the eardrum and it was no big deal—they numb the eardrum first. The argument for the injections versus pills is that it spares you the nasty possible side effects of taking them orally. An MRI is pretty standard to rule out any kind of growth, the most common being an acoustic neuroma which is a benign growth on the auditory nerve. Acoustic neuromas can be removed surgically though sometimes they just monitor them as they are very slow growing. The surgery has gotten SO much better than it used to be; they can salvage a lot of hearing. I hope this information is helpful to you.
Apparently, Klonopin can have tinnitus as a side effect (I googled it) as well as muscle twitches (which stapedial flutter is). I think you should call your doctor and report these symptoms if you haven’t already. I don’t think you have Meniere’s (I do have it and it’s not what you’re describing) or an infection but I can almost guarantee that if you go to Urgent Care, they will tell you they see “a little fluid” and prescribe a Z-pack or Amoxicillin. If your doctor blows you off, please try to see an ENT. Alternatively, you could just see an audiologist and get a hearing test which I believe would put your mind at ease.
