My hearing is shot, not just from music, but motorbike rides with high wind noise and (most importantly) several years of factory work in INCREDIBLY LOUD places.

I thought you were just being grandiloquent with your booming voice and sweeping gestures.

Sometimes I hear a high pitched whining from my computer, but it turns out to just be more posts on the boards.

The post literally 40 minutes in the making!

[22:26]   Popoie   You ever have a good joke
[22:26]   Popoie   But you're stuck on what the punchline should be
[22:26]   Esperath   no, because then you don't have a good joke
[22:35]   Popoie   The joke is "I hear a high pitched whine whenever I come to these forums, but that usually means a post by"
[22:35]   Popoie   And I don't know who to put there

[23:05]   Popoie   I was going to go Thad
[23:05]   Popoie   But Thad generally just posts a lot about shit few people care about
[23:05]   Popoie   Not out and out whining
[23:05]   Brentai   Just say Brentai.
[23:06]   Brentai   I promise I won't punch you.

Hey guys... What if Lottel is dead?

jsnlxndrlv · « **Reply #2127 on:** May 29, 2011, 01:56:02 AM »

He was on Twitter an hour ago. Seems pretty unlikely that he would die and you'd immediately post about it on the Brontoforums.

Mongrel · « **Reply #2128 on:** May 29, 2011, 03:23:33 AM »

UNLESS YOU KILLED HIM.

The high-pitched humming is a lot better than the drumming you get if you start to think about it too much.

So I suggest not doing that.

Yeah. He's very much alive. I was bored though...and dead Lottel is an interesting thought. Sad, but interesting.

Any theories about what is wrong with him, medically?

Lottel · « **Reply #2131 on:** May 29, 2011, 08:17:25 AM »

Hey now. Shoo off to the LotR debate or something.

Just guessing here, but it could be the giant divot in his chest.

Classic · « **Reply #2133 on:** May 29, 2011, 09:11:52 AM »

I'm crossing my fingers that he grows a second heart and has two sets of vital organs in two bony semi-chambers.

And then he becomes a Time Lord and hangs around with British dullards!

Also, we don't need theories because he's told us directly and we wouldn't construct theories because it's Lottel's prerogative to tell us about what baffling-but-ultimately-harmless diseases, magical curses, and weird possibly extraterrestrial girlfriends he has.

I went on a date with ONE alien. ONE.

But can I just say that it was worth it to say "Your ass is out of this world."

The noise hasn't gone away in two days, so it's tinnitus. It sounds like a television test pattern, but is quiet enough that I only notice it when it's quiet around me -- it's not to the point where it drowns out anything else yet.

Fun fact: I tend to listen to television and music so low that other people are constantly asking if I can actually hear it like that, so it's not from blasting my eardrums for years.

Funner fact: At least three of my four grandparents died stone deaf, and both of my parents are halfway there already. So I probably should have gone ahead and cranked up my music, since my hearing was destined to go anyway.

Kind of like how I should have been more adventurous in general since my body is self-destructing before I'm 30 and I'm flat-ass broke all the time regardless.

Lottel · « **Reply #2136 on:** May 30, 2011, 08:10:40 AM »

That's how I feel! We should team up, R^2.
Team up and just be full time adventurers.

The nice thing about Tinnitus is eventually you stop noticing it.

The bad thing about Tinnitus is the times you don't. Which is when you realize it will never actually stop.

Büge · « **Reply #2138 on:** May 30, 2011, 09:32:28 AM »

Isn't there any way to treat it, like trepanation or something?

You can always play white noise wherever you go.
