Tinnitus can be hereditary, my grandfather had it and I have it. It gets really bad though after a session of loud whatever. Also kinds of food can make it worst. Caffeine makes it louder for some reason.
I have tinnitus in my left ear due to scarring of the ear drum by ear infections.
Does anyone have any home treatments for tinnitus?
I never heard of any home treatment. My step-dad quit caffeine but I won't do that. There are some gadgets that help you sleep by making waterfall, rain and some other background noises.
I had a 2x SCSI CD burner that used the cartridge. There were already 2x IDE CD burners on the market, but the SCSI did the job in about half the time. It came with an AHA sound card with the SCSI port on it.
Did the guys who made those figure that people were too stupid to deal with CD Media unless it was made to look like a floppy disk?
No, it was technologically necessary at the time.
I use an old caddy cartridge to hold my DS games that don't fit in my carry case. It actually works pretty well, and is the geek equivalent of ghetto fab.

Nobody's found a direct treatment for tinnitus yet, as far as I know. The best you can do at home is avoid caffeine and nicotine when you can, don't get stressed out, and listen to something when you're in a quiet room (I've heard that crickets work rather well).
I am reminded of playing Wolfenstein 3D on my first computer. To improve performance we disabled the sound. Then the awesomeness of having an external SCSI CD drive.
Also a few years later the fun game of try to play Warcraft II online with friends: call friend, hang up, dial up, wait 5 min, if no one connects, disconnect and call friend back.
Oh man, I just remembered playing Doom II on my old 486 with 4MB ram. My friend was in the same situation. We used to have to use the pixelated graphics mode (or low-quality, or whatever it was) as well as turn the screen size down to about the size of a deck of cards. It was so crappy that you couldn't see missiles coming toward you, so I had to make a WAD that changed the missiles to bright pink, so we'd have a chance.

Lol. I played the whole of Doom II in a friends house, he had a just released pentium 166 mhz. That was so hot at the time.
If I remember correctly, it was the same rationale behind having the plastic protective casings for floppies: to protect the fragile disk holding the data from dust and damage. However, making the cd caddies openable instead of fixed like floppies pretty much ruined it.

No, they had caddies to stabilize the discs so that the laser could consistently read them in an era before cheap and plentiful cache memory and other necessary technological advancements.
Loudness chart Here is a pretty good chart the is used to gauge loudness in decibels. (notice guns are in the 140 db range, well beyond the point of damage) Though I believe sandblasting should be much higher on the scale, it is still a good chart.

Is the word/phrase you were looking for while talking about your TotD "Illuminated Manuscripts"?
