I don't even know if calling it "Anniversary" is a right term, but it is what it is. So, i got used to live with T cause i don't have a choice. I hear it everyday and when i go to sleep i feel sad that this crap is with me, but there is not much i can do. Distraction is the key, but true is no...

I was like you util the onset of T at 38. So maybe this is when the overuse was too much to handle.

I dont believe so. I believe that sounds that are around us make the loss happen but we could be aware from early ages we could prevent this and still hear very well. I am 39 and i still can hear up to 18400 although i have a slight drop in my left ear around 12000. If i would be lucky and if...

I wish i would know why is it so fragile, but i still believe in its beautiful design. Why the limbs, teeth or hair cells do not regrow? I don't know. Why chicken hair cells are better then human? I have no idea? All i know is that hair cells pretty cool and smart design. Maybe i am wrong...

Get a tennis ball and work on these muscles Piliformis, Gluteus Maximus and minimus. Search for videos on you tube how to work on the trigger points for these. It should help. http://www.triggerpointtherapist.com/blog/piriformis-pain/piriformis-trigger-points-double-trouble/ It might take...

Religion for me was always too complicated. It is a tool to manipulate people to have more control over believers. But believing by itself with no religion is different. It brings lots of good to ones life. It helps, it gives hope, and it heals ones mental wounds. Maybe it is just a side...

Some day that guest will have to leave i hope. Nothing, both are separate things and can be worked on its own. Agreed, you never told me to do it. I mentioned it.

That's is huge accomplishment. That make sense. If i would feel like thatthen it would be just random tinnitus I assume. Yes, at this point it is somehow the bus driver. I am kind of ready to let it go, but something inside me wants me to fight with it as I believe there must be another way...

I guess for you it does not make any difference as you are not bothered by it. I cannot comprehend the fact that one can wake up and don't notice it. Yes, I understand that you can notice it but be happy and not react to it, but not notice at all? For me is same day everyday. I wake up and I...

I don't even know if this is possible. Once I wake up my attention goes immediately to T. I check if it is there and move on. I think it might be because everyday I hope that some day this nightmare is over and in the morning is the best time to check if this is a case. I personally cannot...

I want to get back to playing drums. I do have electronic drums set. I am not a professional drummer, I just do it as a hobby in addition to other stuff i like. It makes me happy and although I do have T i want to enjoy it if I can. My goal is to learn basic snare rudiments and beats. I am...

Thx I gave myself a pass today and went to listen to live blues today. The sound at the bar was around 100db so I hope I was safe with my er20. I also tried to keep longer distance from the speakers. Of course nobody had plugs except my wife and I. Band did not have any protection. It amazes...

Exactly 1 year ago on July 13 I acquired tinnitus. Things did not change much. My tinnitus sounds the same and I did not experience any miracles. I wish it would go away, but that seems to be not happening. I must live with it and somehow enjoy my life. I know that the only way to do so is to...

How do we know in what condition the good cell is? What if audiogram shows perfect hearing but the cell is on the edge of the exhaustion? Then maybe little unnecessary stimulation might cause damage? I believe that frequency generated tones are different then natural sounds and might cause...

I did not mean to put you on spot. I guess I misinterpreted your answer. What I wanted to know if aggravating the dying or overused cells can cause pain sensation. I have seen many posts where people describe having some pain although the ears seem to be ok.
