Self Diagnosing

[@maddisauter9138]

Thank you for being you Rachel, I’ve watched you nonstop for like 10 years now!! I am so proud of how far you’ve come and I love you so much 🩷

[@kelseyhorkey6894]

Thinking of you and your family during these horrible fires. So scary.

[@MichelleRPN]

Parchment paper in the air fryer for EVERYTHING!

[@jixxter]

Yes to this!

[@thewoodsofheaven]

I have had tinnitus since diving too deep into a pool as a kid. When I got chemo last year it made it so much worse I had to go to a specialist to get my hearing tested & may end up needing hearing aids. It's just an extremely loud ringing all the time that gets worse with certain things. I have to have a fan running when I sleep or the ringing will keep me awake.

[@morganmiller8010]

Same. I neeeeeed the fan. The best noise. I immediately wake up if the power goes out of something.

[@MrsCainam]

I got my hearing aids for tinnitus in May of ‘24. I love them. It doesn’t cure it obviously but I don’t notice it as much when I’m wearing them. Hope you find relief for yours.

[@mariahlines1034]

I am also self diagnosed with tinnitus. I have a constant ringing/screeching/static (it’s hard to explain) in my ears. I think it’s from years and years of loud music. My hearing has also diminished. I think it can also be a genetic thing because my grandparents had hearing aids, my aunt is diagnosed with tinnitus, and my mom is as well.

[@jothecook]

There's a condition called menieres disease, it causes tinnitus and hearing loss

[@randih801]

2:07 this is the level of self care I need to attain

[@sydwhitaker5]

Rachel my ears do that too!!! I thought I was the only one!!!!

[@TheBrittney231]

Yall should read “the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo” 😊😊 loving this reading era of yourssss

[@AudreyII-]

I second this

[@AmandaStellar]

Abby read it. She mentioned it on the podcast. Said it was the book that got her back into reading.

[@melrox8809]

Hey Rachel, just watched ur reel. Your hair is gorgeous 🥰 my ears ring sometimes. I wear earplugs to concerts now 😆

[@mamabearandhercubs3177]

I once in a blue get that same sharp sound in my ear and i noticed it was usally right before my period so i looked it up at it says Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle can affect fluid levels in the inner ear, potentially causing changes in hearing perception and triggering tinnitus symptoms. Which makes sense since it only happens once in a while.

[@dohraime140]

Oh that is interesting!

[@Alex.C.747-8]

9:15 I get that ringing a lot. I was at a concert and didn’t realise was standing in front of a wall of speakers not a black wall. 11:27 it comes and goes.

[@bananam0nkey969]

I love my airfryer - I had a basket one like you ladies got but I have to say - get the airfryer ovens! They act the same as a airfryer but its a mini oven style instead - SO MUCH EASIER for pizzas!

[@erwinignacio6453]

Happy Weekend Rachel, hope you're both safe from the California fires; stay safe. Good Afternoon! Hey Abbie.

[@wutduhhel]

Yes! I have that in my right ear every once in a while. It's like a sudden high ping then it fades away.

[@Catlover1375]

I get it alot, it was the loud music in my headphones I think as a teenager lol. But seriously yes it's a high pitched screech and ive had mine last several minutes. They sell OTC stuff to help with it now.

[@corapramann1372]

Mines always my left 😂

[@leeprew]

I get the ear thing randomly too. I have been to quite a few loud live music shows, worked on building sites without ear protection, and also have spondylitis which is a muscular skeletal disorder. Thankfully the episodes I experience are few and far between, but freak me out when they happen. I really feel sorry for the people who can have it all the time.

[@PrincessPeyten]

Heyyy Rachel hope you’re doing good I love and appreciate you so much😁😁😁

[@stephtaylor6292]

its probably not tinnitus if its not chronic/ most of the time. but yeah i get a high pitch ear thingy randomly sometimes also... Im pretty sure its a nerve thing... not a big deal, bodies are weird and sometimes muscles and nerves pull on other muscles and nerves from specific stimulation, its most likely literally nothing and just your body being a body and activating different nerves at times. ...but if youre worried, nect time youre at the doctor maybe let them know and get a check up on brain/ear things for peace of mind.

[@Mommy-Playz-d5u]

I love how supportive you are of your gf so she don’t feel bad about the tortilla

[@chelled.4622]

Aww no Stevie 🙁 maybe she was scared of the high pitched noise cuz my cats sure were lol. Felt so bad for Abbie when the pizza fell apart, you handled it so well though like no worries its all going in the same place, yum yum in my tum :)

[@jixxter]

If you put the tortilla in with nothing on top the air may suck it up to the top because there's nothing to weigh it down set a knife or spoon. Only all metal to weigh it down. Also if you had that little pizza at the bottom with no space around the edges the air couldn't circulate around to the bottom which is why the bottom didn't get a chance to crisp. Airfryers literally saved my life. Hard boil eggs in there, veggies, meats, bake. They do everything!!!

[@NicoAlcock-y1n]

Who else loves Rachel vlogs?

[@lizd91]

As a kid I was told that's one way you know someone is talking about you if there's a high pitch noise in one ear but scientifically it's actually something called Transient Ear Noise its just like ur "going offline for a few seconds”."

[@Alex.C.747-8]

I found the air fryers draw out extra oil. I love mine.

[@pivana]

Tinnitus can be as simple as very dry air, or as complex as mold. Check your house. ♥

[@alyssa6031]

The chip strap reminds me of when i got my wisdom teeth removed and they gave me a wrap that could hold ice/heat packs to my cheeks. For some resaon i still had to wear the wrap even if i didnt have the ice/heat packs because my face felt super swollen and heavy. I even slept in it for a week after my face felt fine again because it became a comfort item. Now i sleep with my hand on my face and blanket laying on the other side of my cheek to simulate that😂

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Rachel how are you happy Saturday morning to you and I hope you having amazing day and you are amazing supporter

[@suomynonaanonymous]

buy air fryer liners for easy clean up

[@cupcakelikes]

Maybe the ringing is from the tension from the chin wrap?

[@alani79]

360F is usually the best standard temperature for the air fryer ❤

[@flecko333]

That sound you heard, squeal in your ear, is a glitch in the matrix

[@melissacoviello2886]

Your mom likely knows a fair amount about tinnitus or who to make an appointment with, because your brother has hearing loss. My family has at least 6 generations of hearing loss. At Costco if you have a membership (I know you do) you can get your hearing checked. It’s easy peasy (make an appointment through). That’s where I get my hearing aids.

[@led_5226]

I have tinnitus in my left ear. Due to a lot of health issues in the ENT as a child. So, that screech is something I hear regularly. My Dr. thinks it's peculiar that after all these years, as often as it happens that I still react to it like everyone else.

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

I can't live without my Ninja Foodie 😅 it can do a lot including being an air fryer. It's so much quicker than heating up the oven and it saves energy 😊 When you hear that sound for a short time I've learned that's when you lose that pitch of sound 😅 I have chronic tendinitis and it's a continuous sound and it drives me up the wall when it's to quit around me 😢

[@lottewouters6335]

Something weird about my body is that I can feel/hear my stomach rumbling when I’m hungry IN MY NECK. Told alot of people that I have the sensation of sisseling Candy without the Candy in my neck and everybody thought I was weird but I found a forum with people who experience the same

[@hannahmae4428]

Rachel! Yes my ear does this as well, but much more frequent for me. It’s tinnitus and it’s pretty common. It’s almost always my left ear lol My mom has constant ringing in her ears for almost 20 years now.

[@hannahmae4428]

I commented as I was watching and you figured it out on your own 😅 oh well.

[@bookish_heather]

Rachel the ear screeching is tinnitus ask your brother most people with hearing loss have it I definitely have it with my hearing loss all day every day and yes sounds can help it’s quieter when I’m wearing my hearing aids

[@Preston-Lee]

The high-pitched noise in your ear is called tinnitus, it is the inner ear little follicle hair things inside the ear something happened and it damaged some and they fell off. Also you could sometimes get tinnitus if you've had a lot of sodium. There are a lot of different reasons why but it is not uncommon. Also can happen if you've had Covid before

[@kirstyberesford5515]

I have tinnitus and it gets worse when I take my hearing aids out as it becomes quiet

[@faeriesandrainbows]

I've had tinnitus constantly for as long as I can remember. Not sure why. But I get the screeching occasionally too. When that happens, I say out loud, "Lower frequency, please." That usually makes it stop. No idea why. 😅

[@patriciagallant8133]

The sound you heard, once in a blue moon, is different from Tinnitus I am sure because I have Tinnitus.... ringing in my ears 24/7, worse when I'm exposed to loud noise like a concert (which I don't go to but you know what I mean). But I also get that random loud screeching sound in my ear once in a while. That is separate from Tinnitus. I believe everyone gets the odd ringing in their ear. I remember it happening once in awhile my whole life. My Tinnitus started about 30 years ago (I'm 62). It is chronic. Sometimes louder than other times. But totally different from that one loud screech one gets once in awhile. Not a doctor, just know what I have experienced.

[@Krisdogwisperer95]

Tinnitus is a constant ringing. Not just for a few seconds. The sound you heard is actually pretty common. I get it quite a bit. I feel like it is just slight hearing loss. But being around loud people or situations or in my case ..(and yours now) listening on headphones for an extended period of time.

[@ochoreba7949]

Throne of glass is by far the best book in that genre I've read, much better than ACOTAR😊

[@DebbieSp19]

10:44 stress can cause tenttinidus(?) I have it, I have thyroid issues and dwarfism of fused neck bones since birth. But you are fine!! If it’s not daily you will live. ❤

[@TheAnnabel22]

I get the random screech now and then. I get wax build up as I have damage on my ear drum. Apparently 🤷🏻‍♀️ its the ear drum shaking I was told, dunno how true that it is but I just ignore it now haha

[@knemetz80]

An air fryer is basically a super charged convection oven. They're fine. Used in every commercial kitchen practically in the world. We spred too much food propaganda in this country. There isn't actually that much to be scared of

[@jessicalemelle]

I listened to First Lie Win. I sort of liked it. I give it a 5.5 out of 10. I also use my library card on Hoopla

[@IconicBluejay]

ooooo could you let us know if you like throne of glass?! it's the next book that i plan to read after i finish the last ACOTAR book. !! i'm excited for you

[@MonkeyQueen39]

How's your throat btw...also..I really hope that you and all your family are safe and stay safe through these fires.

[@whereloveblossoms]

I think its Highly likely Tinnitius especially for anyone who works in Media Production /Music both High exposure to Audio Sound esp witg Editing that is alao concentrates adudio focus combined with sitting at the Computer that can cause Neck, Head, Shoulder Strain or posture issues.. I have Tinmitus that started when I first went to Uni clubning & I was a Music Student! I had a good 10-15yr break with temp flare ups but tbe past year or so its Come back a lot worse & I have Chronic Migraines. I have been testing LED Red Light Therwpy ear plugs that has made a significant reduction in my Tinnitus Highly Reccomend!

[@abigalebirch3321]

the ringing in your ear is called tinnitus and it could be because u have some hearing loss

[@abbieantrim465]

Hi Rachel! I have a good book recommendation it's called Visions and Shadows by Michelle Heard. it's a fantasy romance novel and its really good!

[@elizabethchaib4195]

You are using the jaw strap it can cause tension shift so maybe it's that.

[@TeganHort]

Do you still talk to Emily?? I miss her so much

[@alyssa_bananas]

I have tinnitus too. It’s annoying. I have mild hearing loss. (Also, it’s not pronounced “tennin-itus”, it’s “tin-itus”. 😛

[@alyssahcollins5087]

Most ppl who have served on the military have tinnitus lol it’s just part of life 😅 I have it from military and from intracranial hypertension

[@debmiller5187]

The ring in your ear is from your jaw. See your dentist about the chin strap. Tendinitis is constant. There are silicone mats & baskets for your air frier that would make the pizza easier to lift out.

[@unicornhypnotist]

1:22 OMG I just apologized to you without even thinking, because I let out a bong hit and you immediately coughed as the smoke blew towards my phone. 🤣😂🤣 🤦‍♀️

[@lottewouters6335]

Maybe it’s because English is not my first language but I thought that ‘bong’ was an instrument

[@MonicaTheMad]

It's basically a glorified convection oven. Hot air. Not dangerous at all. I love mine, but it's quite a bit smaller than yours. I am one person.

[@Mommy-Playz-d5u]

I read screeaching in the ear is a hair dying ? Don’t quote me lol

Would you ever cut your hair significantly shorter?? Like right below your shoulders?

You were wearing headphones when listening to your audio book. Maybe that has something to do with it.

[@babeeegirl123]

9:25 with peace and love, WTF are you talking about? No thats not normal. I can not relate. Maybe you should have that checked?

[@maryroseleivas8236]

It’s actually normal. I get it too.

[@tjbrat44]

That screeching is often "Tinnitus"...... make a doc appt!!!!
