Here's what has worked for me (in the US), after feeling helpless for so long: Call Screening. I had no idea this existed on iOS (there may be an equivalent on Android), and I was very skeptical …

That's called "residual inhibition". Note that I would be careful about using pure tones for too long. Pure tones end up focusing the energy in your cochlea towards a small area of hair…

They can't do that either with Wallet items. That's kind of the point: you can hand over your phone with a wallet item "unlocked" and visible on the screen, and that's all the…

You can find Maelstrom here: https://www.libsdl.org/projects/Maelstrom/

Which country is that?

There are various explanations about the genesis of the sound for T sufferers, and it obviously depends on the kind of T that one has (this chart [1] helps navigate the variants). But if you are one o…

> I remember reading this story about some woman in a scandinavian country who chose medical-assisted suicide because hers was so bad. I think you are thinking of Gaby Olthuis. Her story is at htt…

Yes, I have to figure out the right pattern and block that.

That is a reasonable strategy, but I need to figure out a way to delete SPAM emails only . I still need transactional emails to go through, unless I change pharmacies, which isn't impossible to …

They are about 25 hours apart, which isn't very large I'll admit. Thankfully, the serial numbers aren't too close to each other, so I'm hoping they aren't part of the same bat…

My SSDs show SMART attributes, which can be used as a rough indicator of health, but really the only strategy I've found to work well for my peace of mind is to use redundancy. Concretely, I use …

I take advantage of paperless options everywhere and got burned by the "Paperless DMV Vehicle Renewal Notice" going to SPAM. I had to pay pretty hefty late fee (a few hundred dollars). Since…

I don't think so. That is the main reason I'm keeping Blue Iris going. My wife can use the BI app (even though it uses an outdated UI design). I haven't found any Frigate-based UX that …

Great advice! I realize this is going to sound dumb, but please also consider that we all (almost all) carry natural ear plugs with us in the form of our hands/fingers. When sound gets loud, do n…

Sorry that you're going through that. As someone who once had severe hyperacusis, I sympathize with your situation as my own whispers as well as keystrokes would hurt my ear. It was challenging t…

Can you please walk me through it on the site? I'm logged in and can't find any service manual (I can find the regular "Owner's Manual" though under "Documents" unde…

This is super interesting and surprising. Can you please elaborate on what those reasons are?

Where do you live to have this rate schedule? In my neck of the woods (SoCal) the lowest rates for TOU (Time Of Use) are during the night (Super Off Peak, generally 12am to 6am). Most of the TOU plans…

Are these 2 different things? (uploading vs sharing) Where are the settings for those?

Not quite. After an acoustic trauma, especially bad enough to degrade your hearing, there is a good chance you will be gifted with life-long Tinnitus.

What does restic offer that borg doesn't? I've been using borg for a while (successfully, with Vorta as UI on mac) and curious to learn if there is something I've been missing that rest…

AFAIK hidden hearing loss is due to synaptopathy (see Liberman's work). This work helps regrow hair cells, though. Does your Pure Tone Audiometry show any losses at all on your audiogram? It woul…
