That's called "residual inhibition".
Note that I would be careful about using pure tones for too long. Pure tones end up focusing the energy in your cochlea towards a small area of hair cells. Since these cells don't regenerate, it may be wise to avoid overstressing them.
They can't do that either with Wallet items. That's kind of the point: you can hand over your phone with a wallet item "unlocked" and visible on the screen, and that's all they'll have access to.

Which country is that?
There are various explanations about the genesis of the sound for T sufferers, and it obviously depends on the kind of T that one has (this chart [1] helps navigate the variants).
But if you are one of the "common kind", which is typically an insult to your hearing apparatus that damaged your cochlea, then the work from Susan Shore [2] is a reasonable explanation of what could actually be going on (genesis by the fusiform cells of the dorsal cochlear nucleus). You may be interested in checking out her publications listed in the wikipedia article quoted.

I remember reading this story about some woman in a scandinavian country who chose medical-assisted suicide because hers was so bad.
I think you are thinking of Gaby Olthuis. Her story is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzQ6kSqBOao
Yes, I have to figure out the right pattern and block that.
That is a reasonable strategy, but I need to figure out a way to delete SPAM emails only.
I still need transactional emails to go through, unless I change pharmacies, which isn't impossible to do, but has downsides that may be more painful than having to "Mark As Spam" a couple of times a week.
They are about 25 hours apart, which isn't very large I'll admit.
Thankfully, the serial numbers aren't too close to each other, so I'm hoping they aren't part of the same batch.
My SSDs show SMART attributes, which can be used as a rough indicator of health, but really the only strategy I've found to work well for my peace of mind is to use redundancy.
Concretely, I use ZFS with a zpool with 2 SSDs in a mirror configuration. When one dies, even if it's sudden, I can just swap it out for another one and that's it.
My vulnerability window starts when the first SSD fails and closes when the mirror is rebuilt. If something bad happens to the other SSD during that time, I'm toast and I have to start restoring from backup.
I take advantage of paperless options everywhere and got burned by the "Paperless DMV Vehicle Renewal Notice" going to SPAM. I had to pay pretty hefty late fee (a few hundred dollars).
Since that event, I've flipped the switch back to "snail mail" and will resist the constant nagging until they implement a paper fallback (i.e. notify by email first and if it's not paid within X weeks of deadline, fire off a paper notification).
I don't think so. That is the main reason I'm keeping Blue Iris going.
My wife can use the BI app (even though it uses an outdated UI design). I haven't found any Frigate-based UX that would meet that bar (and that bar is not even particularly high with the BI app).
Would love to know if I'm missing a Frigate UX option that is "family friendly".
Great advice!
I realize this is going to sound dumb, but please also consider that we all (almost all) carry natural ear plugs with us in the form of our hands/fingers. When sound gets loud, do not hesitate to plug in quickly. Damage to our hearing apparatus depends on intensity and duration, so the sooner you plug the better.
It may be safer to plug your ears with your fingers quickly than to spend a few seconds looking for your fancy -33 dB ear plugs, as unexpected loud noises tend to surprise us but not last very long (ambulance, fighter jet, honking, etc).
In addition to this, there are lots of sound level measuring apps for our smartphones and it can be helpful to measure long lasting levels at venues (concerts, bars, etc). Airplane cabin noise is surprisingly loud. Noise canceling headphones are a great tool for this scenario.
Finally, remember that hearing damage is cumulative: what many of your peers will tolerate fine may not work for you and vice versa. Watch for "the straw that breaks the camel's back".
If your hearing apparatus has already been insulted, treat it with lots of care. If it hasn't already been insulted, treat it with lots of care.
Sorry that you're going through that. As someone who once had severe hyperacusis, I sympathize with your situation as my own whispers as well as keystrokes would hurt my ear. It was challenging to browse the web due to the inability to type in a website URL or input into a search bar.
One of the hardest parts of this disability is that it is invisible and so difficult to explain to a third party. People think you are overly dramatic.
In many cases, hyperacusis does get better on its own with time, so keep hanging in there.
Good luck to you.
Can you please walk me through it on the site? I'm logged in and can't find any service manual (I can find the regular "Owner's Manual" though under "Documents" under the a specific car selected. Is that state specific? (I'm in CA)
You wouldn't harm a puppy, even though it's (probably?) not conscious
What makes you think a puppy is not conscious?
For ref:
conscious | ˈkänSHəs | adjective aware of and responding to one's surroundings; awake.
Source: have a puppy. He's plenty aware of his surroundings.
This is super interesting and surprising. Can you please elaborate on what those reasons are?
Where do you live to have this rate schedule?
In my neck of the woods (SoCal) the lowest rates for TOU (Time Of Use) are during the night (Super Off Peak, generally 12am to 6am). Most of the TOU plans are like this (see https://www.sdge.com/residential/pricing-plans/about-our-pri... )
Are these 2 different things? (uploading vs sharing)
Where are the settings for those?
Not quite.
After an acoustic trauma, especially bad enough to degrade your hearing, there is a good chance you will be gifted with life-long Tinnitus.
What does restic offer that borg doesn't?
I've been using borg for a while (successfully, with Vorta as UI on mac) and curious to learn if there is something I've been missing that restic provides.
AFAIK hidden hearing loss is due to synaptopathy (see Liberman's work). This work helps regrow hair cells, though. Does your Pure Tone Audiometry show any losses at all on your audiogram? It would be surprising that such an auditory insult had no damaging effect on your hair cells, so you may still benefit from this if it works.
Is there a way to tell what was generated vs edited post generation?
i.e. Do I only ask questions I already know the answer to and not questions I don't know the answer to?
I've been advocating for a "coding interview" where both the interviewer _and_ interviewee draw some random question from leetcode or other problem bank, and try to work at it together.
This would show collaboration skills, and you can tell pretty easily how helpful the candidate is with his/her contributions, and whether you find there is an impedance mismatch somewhere.
It probably also maps more closely to the kinds of interactions you'd have after the person's been hired.
I think it would also help calibrate: if you can't figure it out, is it fair to expect the candidate to figure it out? Maybe it's just a hard problem!
If you model a back-of-the-envelope sustainable civilisation, you'll find we're nowhere near any sort of fundamental population limit.
How did you model it? I'm curious about the assumptions you made and how you came up with your conclusion.
Remember that death isn't the only bad outcome: just because you survive doesn't mean you're out of the woods, unfortunately. I'm afraid "Long COVID" is a thing, for adults and children.
"Evidence from the first study of long covid in children suggests that more than half of children aged between 6 and 16 years old who contract the virus have at least one symptom lasting more than 120 days, with 42.6 per cent impaired by these symptoms during daily activities. "
There are folks that are still debilitated, almost a year after their "recovery". We don't know if/when their sequelae will disappear. Time will tell.

Do you need a PayPal account or is there a "take my credit card and check out as guest" option somewhere?
There are trade-offs.
Behind the ear is great when you still have reasonable hearing in a good chunk of the spectrum, so the dome from the BTE provides the boost that is additive to the natural signal.
Wireless earbuds' counterparts in the hearing aid world are called "in ear" or "in canal" or "completely in canal" or "hidden", and they provide some benefits, but do have a couple of drawbacks: they can often give the impression of a plugged ear because they keep the natural signal out (exacerbating tinnitus, which is common with hearing loss), and they can irritate the ear canal from all the friction (that part of our body is very sensitive). They can also prevent the natural outflow of cerumen (wax) and cause its accumulation.
People who are actually bad at what they do rarely realize it
Apparently, they may often think that they are good at it! See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect
Where did you go specifically?
