I have tinnitis from 40 years on heavy equipment.

25 of those with a 6-71 Detroit Diesel screaming just 6 feet behind me in the housing of a dragline.

But that hearing your own heartbeat must be a bitch. At least you can hear it’s still ticking.

I just plain can’t hear sh*t.

40 years. Wow. Long career.

Yeah, hearing loss and/or tinnitus suck.

Crazy what TBI/stroke can result in.

One guy after a stroke, saw food only in gray. It looked so disgusting that he killed himself after a while. Remember that from a psych class 29 years ago :)

I went online to see about the pulsatile tinnitus. What a bunch of bitches. “guys” crying about being suicidal over it. Group therapy. blah blah blah. It is what it is. Suck it up and live with it.
