Took me a moment to figure out this wasn't a mutant Lisa Simpson.View attachment 6227
Even though I was completely overlooked.
I was already due to have a post & crown done on the tooth that had the root canal when the temp filling fell out. Only supposed to cost me $238.After biting on a Popcorn Kernel,a tooth cracked (It had the roots removed a couple of months ago,so there was no pain).
Now I got to pay something in the area of 2000€ to get an implant. -.-
Im pondering to drive to Poland and have it done there.
Tinnitus. It's always there. It never goes away. It's like the aural version of chinese water torture. The only thing you can do is find more noise to try to cover it up. It's hard to describe what it sounds like... it's kind of like if you take the hissing ring of hearing a shower's water pipes resonate on the other side of a bathroom wall, increase the intensity and mix it with the sound of a CRT monitor that has been left on without a computer and has no power saving/sleep mode, and the sound a crystal goblet half full of water makes when rubbed with a wet finger. And it never. Ever. Stops.IS THERE A SOUND MORE ANNOYING THAN THE MUFFLED NOISE OF HOLES BEING DRILLED INTO CONCRETE?!
You don't say?That's actually a very vivid description. From that, I can imagine just how hellish tinnitus would be. I think I'd go completely mad.
Also when someone mentions it so you start to focus on it to see if it's gotten any worse. Then you can't ignore it anymore...GasBandit said:You don't say?
But it's generally controllable as long as there is some source of noise in the vicinity, like a box fan on medium or so. It's only when there's no sound at all, like when you're all alone and in the bathroom with the door shut and the quiet starts to become oppressive and there's the noise and it's getting louder and louder and LOUDER AND I'M CLAWING THE FLESH OFF MY SKULL JUST SO MY SCREAMS BANISH THE SOUND AAIIEIEGGHHH
You, my friend, need to invest in some home-made do it yourself soundproof headphones. You get a set of headphones that have decent quality sound, but aren't too expensive. Panasonic makes some very decent quality low cost headphones. Then, you remove and mount the speakers in a set of DeWalt Interceptors.OH MY GOD SOMEONE IN ONE OF THE NEARBY APARTMENTS HAS BEEN DRILLING HOLES FOR 5 HOURS NOW. IS THERE A SOUND MORE ANNOYING THAN THE MUFFLED NOISE OF HOLES BEING DRILLED INTO CONCRETE?!
I am going insane.
Dear god get those away from me.soundproof headphones.
I wouldn't last 60 seconds. Maybe if I marked back and forth singing John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith at the top of my lungs.
Is it ironic that there's a "listen" button on that page? You click it, and it's just really quiet for 10 minutes.
I think something's wrong with your browser. For me, it plays the audio of the radio broadcast about the quietest room.Is it ironic that there's a "listen" button on that page? You click it, and it's just really quiet for 10 minutes.
