    Damn this condition.. as soon as you think your making progress. Noise spikes and tolerance evaporates.

    It's like every victory is short lived.

    Daddy-Daughter Dance tonight. Feeling a bit nervous but I'm prepared with adequate hearing protection I believe. Live a little bit. Be safe.

    How did it go?
    BrOKeN_1
    Kept the plugs in all night and stayed away from the speakers. Girls had fun!

    Woke up with increased anxiety for no apparent reason. Now I have that crawly skin, uncomfortable shakiness. Let's do this I guess. Sigh...

    Yesterday was a good day...
    BrOKeN_1
    The irony of life... best day I've had in well over a year and covid takes me out the very next day! Feels like I've been hit by a car. :(

    Took two weeks off work and completely screwed up my sleep schedule. Stupid circadian rhythm. Hopefully I readjust fast. No sleep equals :(

    @Kain On the pulsating tinnitus question. Its probably not to odd. I'm getting some crazy reactive T after 3 years of a pretty constant Eee!
    Kain
    Aw heck. I'm hearing blood flow in my right ear when my head is at different angles. Just another nuisance to the list :p

    Trying to play Minecraft with my 7yr old and just let it be. Constantly in and out of being present. Build the house dad! Get the coal! :D
    PennyCat
    I love minecraft! I've been playing it every day for like 2 months now :p It's a good distraction
    BrOKeN_1
    Been dreaming alot lately... no T in my dreams as far as I can tell. I should dream more. (If only)

    To Lenire.. Or not to Lenire. That is the question. Insurance doesn't cover costs so big gamble. Any thoughts?

    Garbage. Don't.

    I haven't heard anything good about it on these forums, but honestly I haven't heard much good about anything on these forums and really don't expect to. I thought about trying a 9V battery and random noise JK
    BrOKeN_1
    @Tryn2BHopeful Maybe if we try taking a tazer to the head something might get reset! Lol

    It's so unrelentingly loud. I feel like I could cry at any moment. Yet that's just too exhausting. It's amazing what we can endure. Kind of.
    SarahMLFlemmer
    I understand.
    4Grace
    Its amazing what we can endure. Kind of … Yes. As I type this I am in my basement while my daughter is having her 8th break down of the day. Yelling and screaming for 15 min. I'm on life level 11 out of 10.

    Silence is but a fleeting memory now... mornings are tough. 1st wake up. 2nd find the will to live. 3rd do the damn thing.

    I keep getting fullness or pressure in my ears. I went in dollar general and came out and that's what happened and then it went away. Anybody deal with this and what is it? I ate a biscuit earlier could that have been it from salt. I just don't know.
    BrOKeN_1
    Every time I walk into the gas station that happens to me. Goes away immediately after I walk out. It's wierd
    SharonBell
    I have been having some pressure on both sides of my face by my ears. Anybody get this. It comes and goes. I had pressure like that when my tinnitus first started , but so much worse when I woke up that morning and went to urgent care.
    Forever hopeful
    @SharonBell I have TMJ. Same symptoms. Aggravates tinnitus big time. I am a big clencher. It can change the nature and frequency of Tinnitus. Getting a night guard. I would look into it.
    SharonBell
    Can anyone that has hyperacusis please explain it to me please.
    MindOverMatter
    Hyperacusis basically means your are oversensitive to ("everyday") sounds. Your tolerance of sound levels are not as they should be. It could be loudness h, pain h, or both, and a lot in between this... I suggest you do some searches on the forum about it @SharonBell to get more insight.
    SharonBell
    How do I deal with hyperacusis? My audiologist thinks I have it to because of certain noises that make my tinnitus worse. Can someone tell me about hyperacusis please. I don't really know much about it.
    BrOKeN_1
    Hey @SharonBell I think you are posting inside my profile. Every time you post it is tagging me. There are others here that may have alot better advice. Especially for hyperacusis.
    SharonBell
    Ok thanks.
    SharonBell
    I havnt heard anyone say anything about Tinnitus in winter time. Does it change for some of you?
    SharonBell
    Sarah havnt seen you on here how are you? You must be doing good.
    SarahMLFlemmer
    I'm here. Been doing okay this week.
    SharonBell
    Your T hasn't been bad? Mine has been terrible the same as usual.
    SarahMLFlemmer
    My T is I say a 7/10 but I'm not crying all day everyday this week so that's a win.
    SharonBell
    Broken_1 did you have tinnitus before you started taking trazodone?
    BrOKeN_1
    No. My T started around the 20th of Oct 2020. I've only been using trazadone for around 2 months because I went through a massive spike that caused really bad insomnia.
    SharonBell
    ok i was just checking
    BrOKeN_1
    Helped the kids build a tree stand in the apple tree today. No hammers allowed. Cordless drill only. And hand saw kept the dbs down.
    Forever hopeful
    @BrOKeN_1. How are you? Been off for a while. Was doing pretty good and then ended up with another inexplicable spike. Friends took me to dinner at a loud restaurant but I had my custom-made earplugs in. Been dealing with an ailing parent I'm sure the stress and lack of sleep isn't helping. Now have reactive tinnitus. So much fun not being able to mask. Hope you're doing OK
    BrOKeN_1
    @Forever hopeful Sry to hear you are having trouble masking. That stress can really be a SOB. I've pretty much quit trying at this point. Besides the shower nothing works. Luckily I've been able to sleep more then 3 hours a night lately so I'm doing ok. I'm probably as habituated as I'm gonna get so I'm just working on acceptance. One day at a time :)
    SharonBell
    Broken do you have hyperacusis? I was hoping someone could explain it to me.
    BrOKeN_1
    First time to the dentist in 3 decades. Cracked wisdom tooth extraction. Not as bad as I thought. Mostly.

    It seems strange that the noise in my head creates anxiety in my body. Alas the frailty of mankind.
    BrOKeN_1
    Celebrating/Not Celebrating 3 years this week. Exact time and place not 100% sure. But my life was changed and I've fought hard to be here.
    gameover
    @BrOKeN_1... 3 years... Have it improved at all over these 3 years? Tell me it did...
    BrOKeN_1
    Damned headache going on 4 days... most likely Trazadone. May have to quit and figure out another way to get sleep.
