This ENT guy did similar, but not as patient or precise, not so successful at the end. I think he used the antifungal drop as softening agent, should have given me the proper one, do you remember what was your drop...? Not DeWax - the only thing they have here in pharmacy... (I have used that already before + hydrogen peroxide 3%). I think I should use a drop of some sort before going to the next ENT, otherwise he send me away with that to use and come back after a few days and charge me another 2000b...!🙄

It could be, I also put that antifungal drops twice a day, maybe it leaves a layer behind..., I'm going for a second opinion soon..., let's see... I have no pain or any discomfort, and hearing is perfect on that side, just this annoying noise when the mouth move...! 🙄

I haven't looked recently, I got mine many years ago..., maybe not selling cable ones any more...! Model is K10

You think BBC is biased, take a look at other news channels...! It's just relatively speaking now, there is no news channel left on this planet without some agenda or bias..., what do we do, get news from Facebook...! 🙄 Relatively speaking I like BBC comparing to others, and over the years I know when they lean to one side a bit in some occasion and account for that. Try watching Fox or CNN for 5 minutes...! 🤔

I thought about it too, but I think some parts the AI generated, but not all, I get similar with Google search... I wish doctors were this thorough, do you think any ENT I go to will have such complete analysis and diagnosis...!? In my interaction with most doctors I found their experiences sometimes work against them, in a first few seconds their previous historic bias decide what's wrong with you, and they stop searching beyond that initial diagnosis..., until you go back 10 times and they realise they were wrong..!!!

To jazz up the thread a bit, here are some photos a couple of days ago. It looks much clearer in live viewing, I think I didn't have steady hand when taking the photos, a bit blurry...

This is the most comprehensive and detailed response I ever had in any forum, specially you read and took into account everything I mentioned in my previous posts..., thanks a lot. 👌🏻🙏 I mostly had similar discoveries through Internet research and will follow your advice. My only weakness is that I swim in the sea a few times a week, play in the waves but no dive or snorkel. From my past experience the salt water doesn't cause much problem, the not maintained dirty pool water is the issue and I avoid that properly now. Still putting antifungal drops, no difference..., in a week or two I will go to Phuket Bangkok Hospital to see the ENT Sheryl suggested ...

I have the BeBird too, but don't buy any of these with WiFi, only cable and check compatibility with your device... I had a WiFi one and died after 3 months. Also this one has a small tube for small ear canals, and kids..., I have another one the tube size is bigger.

This crackling sound has been going on for about 1.5 month, when the ENT in the clinic cleared some wax the first time last week I had no sound for a good few hours, I thought it was sorted..., but came back. I think my next stop is with an ENT in Bangkok Hospital, I'm in Phuket. I called them before, 2000b for just a visit, plus 2500b more if any wax cleaning needed etc. ! But I need a second opinion and as there is no wax now I want him to check other possibilities..., I give it another week or two then will go...

I already have that, but BBC World News service is not broadcast on iPlayer or any UK channels, it's for international viewing only - but damn hard to get...!

At least something I guess, l prefer with video..., for travel and tech programs etc. ... I can't believe they are threatening to stop the sound only even...! They have ads on that service, most news outlets are happy for more people watching their program..., you wonder about BBC sometimes...! 🙄🤔

From my research it could be tinnitus if it's generated randomly, but mine is only happen when moving my mouth, so linked to movement... I did think if it was related to my motorbike riding, but I doubt it...!

I used to get this channel on cable TV but changed condo recently and it does not have it. I used to have a few links to stream it free, but none is working now. Anyone knows any free streaming links, please PM me. I'm not talking about usual BBC News channel, normal one, I can get that already via VPN and iPlayer, or other free links, but this World service is very hard to get online...! I have a TV box, and used to get it via an app there too, but it stopped working a month ago.. 🙄, I'm willing to install free apps too...

I had some ear problem swimming in different pools while on one month motorbike tour, last year infection was cleared by antibiotic pills from doctor, this year infection was cleared by antibiotic drops from pharmacy. I keep swimming in the sea and never have this issue..., only pools from my experience... (from now on I avoid pools or put plug). But after pain was gone I noticed crackling sound when chewing, I had this after some dental works years ago, but this is different as far as I can tell, and I had no dental work recently. This sounds like coming from eardrum, not jaw bone/joint. I have special camera to see inside of the ear, so I used that and saw I have wax, tried for many weeks unsuccessfully to get it out as I read that can cause this sound. It was stuck at the back to eardrum. Finally went to an ENT clinic last week, he had a microsuction tool and did a good job taking wax out, I don't like water irrigation, I tried at home and was useless, so I specially found this guy with microsuction. Crackling sound stopped for a few hours, but next day was back again. He also gave me some antifungal drop just in case. I went again this week and he said he took more wax out, although I didn't see any, and now can't see any wax inside with my camera anyway. But crackling sound still there....! I tried to question him what is next but he kind of had no answer and in a Thai polite way tried to say, I don't know...!!!? I said could eardrum be damaged, or is that tube blocked, but he said no, I can blow in ear, and that tube de-pressurises as normal... He said kept going with antifungal drop, which I think is no help, I doubt any fungus there, and he may just suggest continuing for lubrication. And he said chew gum might help, but that's if there is a jaw joint issue... I wonder if I should go to hospital so they check the eardrum with microscope etc. , but knowing Thai doctors it's hard to get them do a thorough job. Anyone had similar ear problem...!?

If the rash is where there is contact, it maybe not allergy. I have this problem with gloves around my wrist... After going on tour for a few weeks, get this problem, I did a bit of research and it's not allergy or anything to do with material, it's skin reaction to contact, even very soft one, over time it becomes sensitive..., now I have to have some wristband or false sleeve at contact point underneath, a bit annoying, but can't be helped... Balaclava suggested above is an option for helmet issue, but as mentioned the damn thing moves all over, I have problem with pressure on my prescription glasses without it, no way I can use balaclava or too much pressure on my nose...! 🤔

Shouldn't you go to the people who fitted the video system...? Incidentally I was looking to add something similar to my Forza, so please let us know who fitted it for you and how much it costs..., cheers.

Be careful with brand new tire for first 100km, there are very slippery..., I say this from experience when I slipped and nearly fell just coming out of the garage who just changed both tires - thankfully survived by putting my foot down on time...!

I don't know, that road surface is not so bad, maybe get a mechanic check your front tire / wheel / suspension / handlebar, maybe something is not right...!? I can't imagine Honda Moove with good fat tires already should be effected so much ... 🤔

Look at manufacturing date on tires, it's usually have year + week number, that gives some clues, although they can change tires but it's unlikely..., from my experience they put a few months older tires on bikes when they are manufactured on a particular date... Also check the year on green book when it arrives, that's also not exactly manufacturing date, but when selling can be used to say the year of the bike...! In any case if there was no real useful upgrade, only cosmetics and colour changes for 2025, why worry, just ride and enjoy your new bike... 👍🏻

Most comments here are from people who have no clue about teenagers these days, even forgotten their own teenage years..., it's near impossible to shield them in a bubble just because you're worried..., all you can do is to give them all the good knowledge and care you can, and hope for the best ... A small car if can afford and he accepts maybe an option... After that Honda riding school, and maybe go there twice, and another riding school, educate about using helmet and spotting danger early..., specially how reckless others can be..., should be part of upbringing anyway..., risk aversion = survival. Experience rider parents can help a lot with their kids, but otherwise, it's not easy.. Good luck...! 🤞🏻

As long as she doesn't gift it to somebody else....! 😜 You'll be fine...

The look of it...!? 😅 I have given up on the looks years ago...! When on tour I have both... , a 48 L topbox and a Motowolf 66 L bag in front of it on back seat, and of course huge Forza underseat... , we go on nearly a month long tours, so need all the space I can find ... Next year will be the longest, planning a trip from Phuket to Cambodia...! 🤞🏻

Can put a rack and topbox on the back, but attach it only when it's needed. The cheap JDR that everybody has now comes off easily with a push of a button...

On paper the Exciter is very similar, a bit lighter and lower compression SOHC engine (as oppose to DOHC on Honda), with 5.5 liter tank (4.5 on Honda). Only it is 5 speed (as 6 speed on Honda). Similar power and torque... It has a fanbase here and I've seen them pick up some speed on the road, but that's 50kg Thai kids, put a 90kg farang with some luggage, I don't know how it does going up the hills...! I'm sure it's okay around town though... (but auto scooters are kings in traffic... 🤗).

Would they send a representative to accident site right away with a phone call who can speak Thai and can deal with police and help with various issues...?
