Great article

This bit could help if it were more well known:

⚠️ 👂🏽 Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) causes severe hearing loss and deafness (usually in one ear), tinnitus and sensitivity to sound

The damage is normally permanent unless treated with steroid injections at a hospital as soon as possible 👂🏽

The only preventable hearing-loss with a countdown I’ve ever heard of ⏰

🎒 What did I actually bring back from Music Pro '26?

- Not a PRS guitar (unfortunately 😄)…
- But definitely a bag full of music industry goodies.

In this video, I’m unpacking everything—from tote bags and earplugs to stickers, promo materials, and a few unexpected items that somehow made it into the mix. #BMI #earplugs #MusicPro26 #Pandora #PaulReedSmith #PRS #PRSGuitars #swag

The Invention That Finally Shut Everyone Up

Daily writing promptThe most important invention in your lifetime is...View all responses People love to argue about the most important invention of our lifetime. The internet. Smartphones. Electric cars. AI. Cute list, very TED Talk, very exhausting. They’re wrong. It’s PU foam. Or PVS foam. The squishy miracle inside earplugs.

So I'm trying something new. My eldest child who has been diagnosed with ADHD had suggested I try using Loops earplugs. Now I don't know if I have any form of neurodiverse, at least I've never been diagnosed, but I do know that I have tinnitus. I've had it for years, and age and blood pressure probably doesn't make it any better. The pair of Loops I now have are supposedly good for helping tinnitus sufferers. Anyone ever try these? Anything I should know about?
