Sat in the back of my friend's revved up car not warned how goddamn loud it would be - Having a noise increase :/ I still don't really feel all that polite jamming my fingers in my ears every time its loud, but sometimes you need to I suppose!

Since getting this it has made me want to explore audiology as a career pathway. It's alarming how many unempathetic experiences people have had with the initial realization of having tinnitus. I think about how unprepared I was at first - I think I really needed someone who got it to help me understand more face to face.
Went and saw Nosferatu and have had a noise increase since :/ That's on me for not having my earplugs in the entire time. But also: Why are cinemas so goddamn loud? Or can they mix the movie so it's not going to deafen me every time something interesting happens...!
Happy new year. 2024 was woeful and the first year with T but I'm determined to have a better year learning to deal with this. Stay strong everybody
It's been louder for me for a few days now. I'm grateful that the anxiety isn't here towards it anymore - but it's still annoying to sit through and can be hard reminding myself to try and tune it out over and over again. I'm getting there.
At a bowling alley right now for a friend's birthday and the music is blasting. I hate bowling enough as it is
Earplugs with me to look like a doofus as always
There needs to be more tinnitus support here in Aus, tempted to start a support group for my city so I feel less alone... Selfish maybe. Ha
Sick as a dog & my ears are blaring. Why is T like this? As if I wasn't miserable enough already! Thanks T :')
E.g. My tinnitus I hear over 50db easily, it's the hissing static kind. But I'm able to tune it out enough. I consider myself mild, really.
What do you guys consider "mild tinnitus"? Only hearing it in a quiet room, or is it how you handle the distress/habituate to it?
I went to Iron Maiden. Everything ended up being fine. No spike, no pain. I think its time to close this chapter of my life for good.
Hiding in a quiet corner with my bong away from yelling people is now my default at parties and gatherings :')
Stay hopeful & stay sane.
My energy for a cure/treatment is directly for the severe cases - they need to be prioritised.
how you doing mate?
"Do you still have ringing in your ears?" Mate, I have a lifetime contract with T at this point. If it stopped EVERYONE would know about it!
Is it the cause that made me have tinnitus, or was it inevitable? They say this is genetic. Maybe it would have happened regardless.
My ETD sucks when I'm sick and with T thrown in on top of that now :/ Bit hard to rest to say the least. My ears are hissing and popping !!
I hope I can close this chapter of my life soon. I hope one day I can go days upon weeks & months forgetting that I even have T & H.
T & H are no longer ruining my life, it just makes life harder. But I can manage it; and for that I am grateful.
I miss embracing idle time. Feels like I have 2 occupy/distract myself 24/7, I can't just *be*... Because then T rears its ugly head again!
No spike from tooth being pulled. I'm grateful, but here I was semi-hoping that my wisdom tooth was affecting my T so I'd see a reduce lol
Getting my wisdom tooth pulled out on Monday. The only thing I'm scared about with it is the procedure spiking my T
Tinnitus is weird man. Sitting here enjoying it being quiet for once - a good sign?
The best thing out of all of this is the boards & forums and people who give me hope and humble my perspective & level of T. Appreciative
Tripped shrooms for the first time since getting T - it made me forget I even had it for a good few hours
I need to get my wisdom tooth removed :/ I feel like it's causing a noise increase (apart from the fact its super painful FML)
If musicians with T still play & enjoy music live, surely I could still too. One day maybe.
I am convinced now that mould exposure is effecting my T. New house, quiet street: the ringing is quiet. Old apartment, loud city: blaring -
