I've noticed in the past year that my hearing seems to be a little diminished. Stuff like having to have the TV on louder than my wife is comfortable with, etc. Just this past week I've perceived that I have a constant (or at least somewhat persistent) very low volume buzz in my ears, mostly my left one.  Just Googled tinnitus symptoms, thinking I should have it checked out.

I may not have noticed this before as I've been working remotely for almost 4 years & spend a lot of my workday in virtual meetings with my AirPods.  Also, sometimes at night if my wife goes to bed early I listen to the TV via my AirPods.  Kind of like a headset + hearing aid.

Great news. I have the tinnitus since 2012, louder at times. But, hearing is fine otherwise. 

And, if you're doing the KC, then you must hear their latest live releases. Peak of form!

It just happened.  It does modulate and it is back this morning a little bit after a night's sleep.

That it modulates and comes and goes tells me that it is situational and not a permanent condition, yet.

Right now, I'm thinking that it may be related to hydration, as in a lack of.  I upped my water intake the past couple of days.  While black coffee does count as a clear liquid for medical things, drinking some water now and then is needed, too.  

It was nice while it lasted, even for this short time.  Gives me some hope.  I am going to consciously increase my water intake and see if it goes away again. 

I'll let you know.

Happy for you, Kurt. Take your favorite vinyl  out for a spin....

Nothing, absolutely nothing !  All the ringing and noise and hissing or whatever in my ears has stopped.

Just noticed it in the past few minutes after working on some music.

No idea why, but happy for sure.  This last bought of tinnitus or what ever has lasted almost a couple of years.

No idea how long its gonna last but I'll take it !   

Frogs! Had enough rain that they woke up and are greeting each other after the long, dry summer.

Yeah.  I mowed my weeds today - strangely satisfying but the pollen is brutal here this time of year.  Moving through yellow pine pollen clouds at some points.

RP on Alexa and a mockingbird in the Sweetgum tree nextdoor.

Lawn mowers !  Trees are budding and the grass is getting greener and growing.

Three snoring dogs. Two of ours plus a guestdog.

i thought it was kinda fun, but yeah one thread is probably enough

I removed the autoplay from my original post of that video, but not until after it was reposted; the reposts still have autoplay activated.

It's an autoplay video somewhere in the forum or comments or something.

Well you found an exception, always irritated me that the only lame song on an otherwise masterpiece of an album is the one that gets the airplay and attention.  Side 2 of that album is amazing.
