I have about 40% of my sound capacity taken up by tinnitus, constant "beeeeeeeeep" sound , since I was born, thus I'm still wondering.

Most of the time I have hard time understanding what people around me say, using normal voice. I get lots of feedback that I'm "yelling". But every single loud thing , is clear to me.

so you're saying that there are earplugs in existence that would mute alarm sounds? extremely high pitched noises? best I've ever achieved even with noise cancelling in-ear was muffling outside world A BIT, never ever it stopped ALL noise from coming. How would that be even possible?

meanwhile *proxy continues to exist, forever forgotten*

thing is , you don't really need vpn, unless you're going to sit at MCD on their "free" wifi and do work related stuff, or banking for that matter.

self hosted OpenVPN. You can host it on AWS, behind your home router, really anywhere. On top of that you add PiHole and enjoy internet free of ads and annoyances.

You can also use things that are heavily marketed for a few years already like Nord, Surf. unless you're trying to run darknet drug market should be fine. These are convinient, as long as they're not owned by chinese company you shall be fine.

you do not, ever, under any circumstance use ANY FREE VPN services. Thank you. Also 90% of all VPN are owned by 23 chinese companies.

practice makes perfect. You're afraid of stuff that never happend ( presumably, just like 95 % of fears that people have )

Even if somebody reacts poorly, your answer will not change. You do not care nor can do anything about it. Just keep calm and repeat your answer.

Did I mention that practice makes perfect?
