When you say these past few years have been different, do you mean like just "learning to deal with it" better? Your tinnitus is severe all the time, isn’t it? Does it ever go down to a more tolerable volume, even just for an hour? What’s been different for you the past few years?

My Gawdd…I was just thinking about way back when my tinnitus use to be just mild and comparing it to now, I have seen so much crazy shit.

Yeah, I would be pissed too. I agree, I think the drug would help better if we could inject it in the cochlea. I want to believe we might have something that can help us within 5 years but I don’t know.

This is what I try to tell myself too, even though it can be pretty tough at times.

It’s the same with me most of the time. I hear the ringing all the time, but I just don’t emotionally react to it as much anymore. The good days for you would be days where you are not aware of the ringing as much because it’s quiet enough? What do good days look like for you? I get like maybe...

What would you consider to be habituation?

You look good! I’m glad to see how you look. I like seeing all the Tinnitus Talk members.

I just try to tell myself “I’m stronger than my tinnitus, I’m more powerful than my tinnitus.” No matter how intrusive or reactive it is.

How the motherfucking hell can most people abuse the ever living fuck out of their ears and not end up with H or reactive tinnitus?

So basically, even when you hear the tinnitus reacting to noise, it doesn’t really bother you at all? If so, then that’s great. I just don’t hear many comments about people being able to handle severe intrusive tinnitus very well. I know people can definitely habituate to mild or even moderate...

That is beautiful. I got into adult coloring books and jigsaw puzzles lately. Sometimes I also draw.
