Renai Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 You get 50(?) likes for a 24 hour period. When you reach your max you have to wait to like again. So, if someone likes something I said, I get another like to use? Because I ran out of likes early this afternoon, and now I'm able to like some things again.

If you hit the 24 hour mark at 10 AM, and you're 49th like was at 10:05 the previous day you will get another like at 10:05. I'm having a hard time explaining this.

lots of little ducklings Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 There are lots of different causes, some treatable. In my case it is believed to be hereditary hearing loss (not treatable), and each note of ringing will be there until I can no longer hear that frequency at all in that ear. Still, it has been several years since I was seen by and ENT and I really should get my hearing checked again to see if it's bad enough to warrant hearing aids yet. I keep hoping they will come up with some way to get rid of it without me losing more of my hearing, but no luck yet. I have found that on occasion some really great acoustics with melodious music can sort of cancel out the ringing for a spell. There's a local venue that a couple of times a year gets in a musician or two that I like, so we go when we can. I get that relief in bits and pieces during the concerts, at least. It's like sinking into a wonderfully fluffy feather bed when it's blizzardy outside, only auditorially. Arggg! That's cool about the acoustic relief you sometimes get. So sorry it's not treatable; glad you don't need aids yet. Hearing is so taken for granted by people (like me) who have no problems. My father has Meniere's disease and talks all the time about how isolating it is. (Thankfully his vertigo spells are rare -- maybe 4x/year for a couple of days at a time -- so he has not suffered surgery with its accompanying complete hearing loss. But he really hears very little anymore, even with aids.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was totally teasing, Slache, and not even remotely offended. My brain damage is a source of constant good-natured teasing among my sibs, and had THEY posted your post, they clearly would have intended a jab at the state of my overall mental faculties, and I obviously would have retorted with some snide insult. :D Infinitely points for being sorry about something that you didn't even need to feel sorry about.

Professormom Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Arghety arrgh! I have tinnitus. For nearly 20 years now, I think. One does get used to it, but there are times it's worse and times it's better. It drove me nearly insane for the first 2 or 3 months, however. I had sleep deprivation until I grew so tired I just slept through it. This just reminded me of something, my fellow couch md's. I have been getting dizzy for the last few months. But it is only when I tip my head in a certain direction. This would indicate fluid in the ear, but the dr didn't see much. So when I lay on my left side, I get a wave of dizzy, but then it equalizes and I am fine. Until I get up... Lol. Anyone experienced this. Maybe I just need to load up on Claritin for a while:-( it isn't horrible. Just mildly irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
