He said: I HAVE CHOCHLEAR NEVER DAMAGE. THE HEARING AID I NEED COST 10 GRAND. I CAN'T WRITE A CHECK FOR THAT MUCH

I almost ruined my keyboard with that one. Best Post of the Day.

it's the truth guys and gals. It can't be corrected with surgery. The type I need bypasses the chochlea and the adapter
is placed on the temple. it cost 10 grand and my insurance doesnt cover it. I don't mind being made fun of, but it's
a condition i wish I didn't have.

They're making fun of the whiff on the "What?" joke, not the hearing aid/cochlear thing or your condition.

I watched that one.

I want to ask the guy "Well, ok, but why does it only follow me?"

I believe it depends on who is closer to the fire. There is a sweet spot where you are far enough away to not attract the smoke but still receive some heat.

I don't think that anybody was making fun of you.

I've had tinnitus since I was 7-8 years old. It gets louder as I age. I haven't had a moment of quiet in 43-44 years. It's loud enough now that I have a difficult time ignoring it, and it affects my hearing and sleeping. Unfortunately, it would still be ringing even if I went deaf.

Hearing problems aren't a joke

Yeah, mine has been going on for as long as I can remember. Doesn't matter if I have hearing aids on or not. Same freaking noise. You don't ever really get used to it, but I do tolerate it ok.

I thought there was something out there for tinitus? If not a cure, but something that reduces it? Like white noise producing hearing aids?

Yeah, I don't know if my condition is tinnitus specifically or similar symptoms, but I've had weird ringing in thr ears for as long as I can remember. Nothing has helped.

Sorry, just seeing this - and you're totally correct.

@faceman - my apologies if it seemed like I was making fun of your condition. My comment was definitely aimed at guido and his "what?" comment.

TIL: that people didn't know the only reason Eva Amurri has a quasi acting career is cos her mother is Susan Sarandon.
