This is a very long thread, reporting on a hearing for Rümeysa Öztürk, the college student who was snatched by ICE on video.

I understand only some of it. What’s important here is that there’s a glimmer of hope. The ACLU is fighting for her, and the judge is listening. That’s monumental in the fight against fascism.

New hearing aid day.

Every time, it feels like one hand giveth, and the other hand taketh away.

So I'm playing around figuring where each improvement and each disprovement (?) occurs.

Already found that the speech-in-noise really sucks compared to my old ones. The overall sound is better, though. Also, it hates my cell phone. I'll see if my streamer works with it (which is how I fixed it with my previous pair). But my previous pair had some functionality with my phone. This pair has none.

I've got the absolute CRAZIEST thing going on with my #Linux workstation right now. (#LinuxMint 22.1 Xia)

I am #hearing #WATER like waves crashing ashore every 10-15 minutes. It's a #short clip, 3? Maybe 4 seconds long?

For the life of me I can't figure out what in the hell is generating this noise! I don't have THAT many apps running or windows open.

I seriously wonder if I've got malware (unlikely though - I only install software from reputable sources). Not to mention I've never heard of malware that plays an audio file every 10-15 minutes of fucking water.

Tinnitus may be a phantom percept — when our brain activity makes us see, hear or smell things that aren't there. But that doesn’t make the annoying (or worse) condition any easier for those who suffer from it. @ScienceAlert shares recent research that may help us better understand tinnitus.

ScienceAlert · Tinnitus Seems to Be Somehow Connected to a Crucial Bodily FunctionAround 15 percent of the world's population suffers from tinnitus, a condition which causes someone to hear a sound (such as ringing or buzzing) without any external source.
