    I love my life, my wife, and my kids. So its a shame tinnitus gets to steer the ship. Everything now revoles around this horrid condition and I hate it.

    "No Rest For The Wicked" I must be an evil man. Or so the saying would insinuate.

    Possibly. Although I had my generalized anxiety and depression nearly completely under control before tinnitus onset. Ever since few of those methods work anymore.

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    More than likely. Unfortunately, NAC is more of a preventive supplement for hearing loss. There is a chance that the sudden increase in volume or pitch just happens to coincide with the use of this product. Hopefully, you return to baseline quickly—or better yet, to baseline and beyond!

    T just can't let you have a Lil fun. I'm having new tires put on the motorcycle Tuesday and wr will see what a bad idea that is. Haha. The weather is nicer and I hate having the bike rot away in a corner of the garage.

    I always wonder how musicians such as Ozzy Osbourne, Eric Clapton, Chris Martin, Neil Young, Phil Collins and I'm sure a few others continue to have successful careers in the industry while also dealing with this condition. At what point do you start not giving a f**k?

    Finally Had My Long Overdue Breakdown — Regret, Loss, and the Unbearable Weight of Tinnitus

    One of favorite quotes. Living with chronic unilateral tinnitus is not easy or fun. It can be very difficult to steer your thoughts from depression and suicidal ideation. Not impossible, but extremely difficult. I hope you have some good days soon.

    A Cautionary Tale Regarding Bone Conduction Headphones (Aftershokz OpenComm)

    This is good to know. I’ve been considering trying bone conduction headphones for a while now but never went through with it. You definitely put that idea to rest for me. Sorry to hear you’re dealing with this.

    @MindOverMatter @Tryn2BHopeful Thank you for your hopeful comments. Not having a lick of silence since 2020 has been hell.

    This current spike is gradually and expertly eroding the layers of psychological defense I built over the last few years. Tinnitus is just Evil. Plain and Simple.
