Yawn Yawn, Wakey WAKEY...!! 2015

Thank you Moyra but we each have our own cross to bear my friend,its a good job I've broad shoulder's,mine is brought on by another cross,if I can shift that ,then the Tinitus will go with it

It gets worse when Tiny and Penny bark at the postman,and Rosie( The parrot) screeches,Mrs Woo hoovering , the washing machine is spinning,the kettle is whistling

 

Just crawled out of my sick armchair (don't use a bed ). In-between bouts of fever I seem to be improving

Woo, my tinnitus is mainly set off (it's always there in the background) by the type of electronic hiss that machines give off. So, for example, when I use my computer I have to have music playing to mask the hiss. Other regular type sounds upset me as well. Things such as clocks ticking.

The most annoying sound I've been getting lately is from my weather centre. It has its time and date checked by radio signal. The last few days it has been having trouble holding the signal and keeps searching for it. I can hear the click of it trying to find the signal! Mrs Shiney can only hear it when she puts her ear within a foot of the centre. Whereas I can hear it from 20ft away. So we've had to move it to another room. I'm hoping it's just a problem due to atmospherics.

 

Good evening Shiney my friend I really hope that you are on the mend
My hearing like yours is excellent but that can have its drawbacks sometimes especially when I go to a disco or the dawn chorus

 

Woo, I have considerable problems with noise and not just from tinnitus. My hearing is so sensitive that I can't go to discos. When we're at weddings I leave after the reception, when the music starts, and sit in the car and read a book. No one gets offended because they know my problem.

Mrs Shiney is used to me, when we're at home, getting up and wandering off around the house because I can hear a noise that's out of place. Once it was a mouse that had set up home in a slightly open drawer in her workroom - 30ft away with two closed doors in between!

Another time it was during a thunderstorm, we had the TV on and I told her I could hear something out of place. So I wandered around and eventually traced it to a leaking roof tile. There was one drop of rain seeping through every five seconds and dropping onto 6" of fibreglass insulation in the loft.

The funniest one involved the neighbours as well. It was mid-morning and I told her I could hear a high pitched whistling noise. I did my usual wander around and worked out that it was coming from outside. So I started wandering around the front garden listening. The neighbours were out there and asked me what I was doing and when I told them they looked at me as though I was mad! I eventually traced it to be coming out of the ground up near the road - which is 100ft from the house. They came over and could hear it when they got within 10ft of it. We never did work out what caused it but it went on for 20 minutes and then stopped suddenly. By then we had five neighbours listening to it.

 

So you're no longer going bats!

Yes, I can still hear them, but not as well as I used to. When we originally had our alarm system installed the inside sensors were a combination of Passive Infrared and Ultrasonic. To avoid false alarms they checked with each other all the time. A very good system but I had to call them back almost immediately as I could hear the ultrasonic signal. They said it was unusual but not unheard of for people to be affected by the signal but they were able to adjust it for us. Apparently they have to do the adjustments frequently if there are dogs in the household.

My hearing is definitely not as sensitive as it used to be but I still have problems listening to conversations in a crowd. I'm useless at parties

 

Aloha everyone,

I feel as though I'm improving . Still having bouts of fever but not getting the shakes so much. Only a little bit wobbly when walking around . I'll see whether I can get through a little porridge and a couple of boiled eggs this morning. I've lost over half a stone in weight!

I shan't be going to bridge this afternoon but am determined to get there tomorrow evening.

Keep well

Aloha!

 

Good morning all hope you are all OK,have a good day my friends

 

Thanks, Moyra

It's not too bad as you adjust to it, but having bad tinnitus like Woo does is not possible to adjust to.

Woo, I hope it's better this morning.

 

I hope that doesn't include me,I've been poorly since I was born,almost got used to it now

Thank you Shiney my friend,I went down and hard pruned all the Roses down at the local surgery,the doctor opened his window and said "how are you"I told him the bells are ringing for me and my girlhe didn't look to well so I said you had better see a doctor if you can get an appointment That made him laugh enjoy your day my friends
