Honestly, the longer I have been away from it, the more dumb it seems. So I don't care. I can still read it, and I do - mostly to look for hardware related computer information from people who know more than me.

Im in the medical field and have already spotted several posts giving incorrect medical advice that I now can't correct. It used to be my thing. Its a shame the admins don't concentrate on that kind of harmful misinformation, but whatever.

It was a joke. I originally wrote Spanish Inquisition, but thought it was funnier to call it the Reddit Inquisition. Sorry for my buttholiness.

You may be right, but it was a quick and dirty way of making my point. I didn't expect the Reddit Inquisition to be here yet.

I defend myself with a tiger and feed it highschool kids. Statistically, I'm an insignificant lunatic.

I cope pretty well with it. Some people get really depressed when it happens to them. Im okay if there's noise. At night I listen to podcasts and use a fan next to my bed. At work it's less noticeable, although fir some reason people think it's fine to be mean if a coworker can't hear very well.

For me I had intermittent ringing for a year or two. It would always go away quickly. Then, one morning, I woke up with this much louder chirping sound that's always there.

I was a metal head. Too many gigs and loud earbuds.

Im the same as you. In my 50's. My hearing is severely damaged, and my right ear whistles like a thousand sex-crazed crickets 24/7.
