What?
That's the one question I remember my dad asking my mum when I was an infant.
He did not have hearing problems though.

I've also suffered, after playing rototoms in a pub a good few years back. High pitched. The hearing aids seem to help, they boost the high notes, tweety birds etc. Maybe there's a connection there. I've played next to a drummer since I was 15. Just saying.

And yes I am practising social distancing big time. Yes, I've found not washing myself in the morning works well. Especially when I put my arms out to indicate the distance.

Intersting subject tinitus, I get it having been on the road for 30 years. However either my tinitus is odd or I am, when it starts its there for about a minute and then its as if my brain switches in a notch filter and it just gets quieter until it dissappears, no noticable difference in the frequencys my ears are hearing.

You rang my lord. Yes, most people begin to realise over time that they haven't noticed it for a while and build confidence in that. It's basically the brain rewiring itself over time. Any mental or physical stress can make the tinnitus worse. Some people (especially with OCD tendencies) tend to over focus on it such that it becomes like a feedback loop. Then they go into a fight or flight mode which causes heightened hearing sensitivity! This is where it can become life threatening, yes some people have taken their own lives (I wasn't far away from that). Tinnitus is actually a normal symptom when exposed to a loud noise. It's just that sometimes it can become permanent. I always wear musicians ear plugs now. I clean their wax off first though....

It is also permanent for me, it never goes away you just learn to live with it. Trying to sleep at night is worse, its usually the time you go over the day's happenings and any stress brings the TT to the fore.

Trying to sleep at night is worse, its usually the time you go over the day's happenings and any stress brings the TT to the fore. I had times, even early on, where I realised I haven't noticed it for a while and only noticed it when I thought about it (if that makes sense?) Do you remember those old tube TV's which put out a high pitched whistle? Once engrossed in the TV program my brain filtered it out. I think tinnitus is a physical and mental issue. The physical element can be managed by the reducing stress but so far there is little else that can be done. The mental element however can be managed and most people with tinnitus rarely notice it due to the brain rewiring itself so to not tune into it. It takes time and will power though. It's amazing how many people I've met with the condition and say "I forgot I had that until you mentioned it"!

No we don't. We need to get it over and done with as quickly as possible, a bit like you may remember being sent to measles and mumps parties as a child. 563 died yesterday, by Sunday it will be nearer a thousand per day (and increasing) at what level of daily deaths will you be prepared to admit that this is serious. Two thousand? Three thousand??. We have been self-isolating for the past 2 weeks and haven't caught anything so far - this could help prove that keeping away from other people is an effective method, and that human-to-human transmission is the cause? By the way, the tooth issue was a loose filling, easily sorted in 45 minutes. I stayed in the car (you never know what you'll pick up from health centres!). Pirkko said the dentists were dressed in full-body suits, in case their patients 'had a cough'. I'm glad we didn't have a flutter at Cheltenham, we might have caught it off the delightful Lili Mong: "Lily Allen celebrates during day four of the Cheltenham Festival at the racecourse on March 13" "More than 250,000 people walked in through the gates across the four days – and hundreds of them have claimed online that they have since developed symptoms." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8179369/How-Cheltenham-Festival-hotspot-coronavirus-cases.html#comments

Two thousand? Three thousand??. It's not a question of whether it is or is not serious. It's a question of whether destroying every small and medium sized business in the country, the huge unemployment looming along with home repossessions, evictions, the suicides and murders which will inevitably occur, destruction of civil liberties on a scale never seen etc etc etc are a price worth paying to slow the spread of a virus which wont have run its course until it has infected all those susceptible to it.

Some are... I'm worried about family working in the front line, putting their lives at risk.
