City vs Country
Re: City vs Country
I'm semi rural, have some barking dogs down the road, road in front of my place is a dead end but some traffic as there's a couple of residences (one is a contractor, so get his trucks back and forth) and a cherry orchard past my place. There is a hwy. up the hill on the other side but it's not heavily used. Doesn't really bother me, my TV or radio is always on, even when sleeping. I have moderate tinnitus (too much shooting without ear muffs in my youth), not really noticeable if there's some background noise but drives me crazy if it's dead silent.

Me too. Too many loud cars, trucks, motorcycles and power saws. I now wear ear plugs whenever necessary, including shooting. My ears ring constantly but it's worse early night especially if the power goes off, silence, as you have indicated.

And currently (according to my ear specialist) there's not a thing that can be done to cure it. Unless its from underlying physiological cause. There is some research going on to find a cure but nothing yet.Cowboy Gun Fan wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:09 pmMe too. Too many loud cars, trucks, motorcycles and power saws.

Re: City vs Country
My doctor told me that one of his partners can help with tinnitus, but I never pursued it, like I would like to someday. Not sure what he can do where others can't, but it will be worth checking into anyway.dave77 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 5:31 pmAnd currently (according to my ear specialist) there's not a thing that can be done to cure it.

I didn’t realize you were a Woody! I’ve been there a ton of times. Usually to see concerts at the Chateau. Chris Issac, Don Henley etc. Its a beautiful spot, but definitely busy.

Re: City vs Country
I have tinnitus as well and the VA Doc says it's in the range of female and small children
voices and I asked if he would put that in writing and he did! I told Carol that now I have
evidence that I wasn't ignoring her and she said she still didn't believe it.
My hearing loss is from turbine engines and loud gunfire. Can't even imagine where
that could have happened, right Gene?

Re: City vs Country
I’ve been to the concerts many times over the 30-some years living Woodinville.
I hear you! Being artillery the only way to not get your ears blown out was to stick your fingers in them. Standby, fire. If you were in the muzzle blast you might even get a bloody nose.cooperhawk wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2024 11:54 pmI have tinnitus as well and the VA Doc says it's in the range of female and small children

Re: City vs Country
I live 4 miles from the dirt road I grew up on and a 1/4 mile up the county road from where my wife grew up. Almost 20 miles from nearest small town. Couldn't wait to get thru school and leave this place. I was gonna live someplace where there was things to do and see and all that stuff. And I did. Spent 20 years in military, then of all places, moved back here to the country. Plus we have at least a couple things now we didn't have when we left. Indoor bathroom and running water. I've done rambled on to much, I better go.
