So I've started dating this girl
things are going well
She's really cute
and tonight she tells me she has had Tinnitus her whole life
So tell me, /mu/, how do I tell her I'm a noise artist?
>>61087428
what about letting her discover it by herself
>>61087428
tinnitus really isn't even that bad
>>61087428
"I'm breaking up with you"
You could have made a joke right then about it, but now any other reference will work just as well.
Casually and like it's not a big deal, probably when she asks what you do for fun or whatever
A lot of people have tinnitus, for the most part it's not cripplingly terrible and it's just something that you live with
>>61087491
It's awful.
>>61087623
it's really not. it's only as bad as you want it to be. unless it's that loud where you can hear it over conversation
>>61087690
>I have minor tinnitus and no one has it worse than me
>>61087690
You know it comes in various forms, right?
>>61087716
>>61087779
did neither of you read the second sentence
>>61087801
>it's only as bad as you want it to be.
That's a shitty argument for anything, especially medical conditions.
Unless you meant
>unless it's that loud where you can hear it over conversation
In which case, it still can be awful to deal with. Even if it doesn't interrupt conversation, nothing is more irritating than hearing high pitches in silence when you're trying to sleep.
>>61087801
but you're making it sound like tinnitus isn't even that bad in general when you only have a minor case of it.
noise is probably good for tinnitus 2bh
>>61087886
considering that it doesn't cause pain or anything of the sort, you can just teach yourself to ignore, unless it really is quite loud.
i don't even notice it when i go to sleep anymore. you can either A: let it get to you or B: don't let it get to you
>>61087899
In general yes, I doubt most people who have it have it really bad
>>61087950
>In general yes, I doubt most people who have it have it really bad
Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that if the person you initially referred to (OP's gf) feels the need to mention she's had it her entire life, it's probably the rare severe kind. Is that fair?
>>61087950
I have it fairly bad, it makes listening to anything exceptionally difficult, as well as it makes it hard for me to concentrate and stuff, and so forth with everything else. You assume a lot.
>>61087428
Lmao, just say it. I like noise music and I have tinnitus. Do you expect her to get involved in your art or something? It literally doesn't matter, she just won't go to your shows.
>>61087428
>artist
>>61088048
maybe she just worries about it too much
>>61088073
Just because you have it one way doesn't mean it's the majority. you're assuming just as much here
>>61088173
I said nothing about others in my post, I only talked about myself, and the person I was responding to.
>>61088173
>maybe she worries about it too much
>you're assuming just as much here
You're grasping at straws, mate.
