Tinnitus

Anyway, Billy T, is English a second language to you?

No. Why do you ask? I am slightly dyslexic and don't see my errors - I read what should be there, not what is if it is text I have written. This is disasterou when the word "not" has been left out of a sentence, and I read it as if it were there.

To answer your question about hearing your blood flow (turbulance) being dangerous or not: Probably not - just annoying but it could indicate so clogging of arteries. Do you have high blood pressure? That can be an indication of the same clogging.
 
I'm getting stoned while reading this..

If we can assume all the unscientific comments in your posts are due to some misunderstanding, can I attempt to thoroughly explain why each of them are?
 
The blatant one is your use of the word 'hallucination'.

Your definition may be off.

Please tell what definition of "hallucination" you have that means, hearing car engines start up as you walk past them, when no engine is running, is not included as a hallucination. Visual and auditor hallucinations are the most common, but feeling insects crawing on your skin when there are none or having strange smells and tastes with no cause are hallucinations also.

My definition of "hallucination" is any perceptual experience in conflict with external reality, and not just an illusion (miss understading) of external reality. I. e. Hallucination is uncaused by external agents and "illusion" is caused by external agent and percieved to be in conflict with the external reality.

For example the moon appearing bigger near the horizon is an illusion, but seeing three moons orbiting each other is a hallucination.

Well, in comparison to 'tinnitus' the word 'hallucination' is unfitting. Hence, I asked if English was a second language. Not jumping to conclusions that you bumped a seemingly dead thread to make an insulting snide comment out of boredom.

:EDIT:

Or better yet, I've suffered a concussion and tinnitus is one aspect that can come of it, so fuck you.

Oh, did you edit your post?

Then let's go Mr. Moderator of linguistics, compare and contrast hallucination with tinnitus.

:EDIT:

Or are you a coward as well.?

No, I didn't have a head injury, but I'm never drinking that stuff again. The word "tinnitus" was new to me. Has anyone else experienced something like it?

On a few rare occasions I've awoke in the middle of the night with ringing in my ears. It's happened maybe three or four times during my lifetime. I don't know how that might compare to your issue. All in all, things could probably be worse for you. Years back I worked with people who actually heard voices (schizophrenics). And those voices were very unkind for the larger part. The sad thing is, many of those people became ill while young adults, just starting their lives in college or elsewhere.

It's best to leave her alone she is very sensitive. If you do decide to speak with her be direct and honest so even if she takes offence, she is very smart and she will know when she is wrong and has crossed the line in her own time.

It's not good to antagonis someone because you notice they have a problem, I think this poster had admired you in the past but you chose only to look at her negative side now you have destroyed the bond you may have had. "It's always easier to point the finger than to lend a helping hand"-unknown...

Billy is an American, but he emigrated to Brazil many years ago. For all I know, by now Portuguese might be his "first language."

Just for the record: I've lived in Brazil for 21 years now - retired to live there with beautiful lady professor, at USP {best university in S. America, most think.} We met for only one day and its night until 4AM during mutual vacations in Acapulco. Exchanged many letters in next three months and then about four visits each way. In less than a year from our first meeting, I sold all I had in US (except financial assets) to go live in her owned Sao Paulo apartment. She speaks English with me, so my Portuguese is just good enough to be understood on the street, even with its bad pronunciation. I read it well, but can't write it.

I never studdied Portugueses - just picked some up. This has had the effect that I do not translate from English. When I speak Portuguese, the words and phrases just flow out of my mouth and I have no idea what they will be until I hear them. In that sense only, it is like a 2nd "mother tongue."
