Hey Lynne, Have 'unlocked' the conversation, I think, sorry, I'm new at this! Hope to hear from you soon!

Hey Lynne, It sounds to me like you need a massive hug! I will pm you!

Hi Lynne, hope that you are having a good / alright /passable day today?

The power of positivity! Recognising this is surely a big step in itself! Things WILL get better, I hope, in time, for all of us...

Hi Lynne, So sorry to hear about your predicament. I have only been a member of this forum for a few days. But have already found a huge amount of wise words and excellent support here. I am 37 and have has T for 4 months now, I have a 6 year old and a 5 month old, this stuff is understandably...

Thanks, Curly for your comment, I will suggest a back rub! I'm so sorry to hear of your predicament, I hope that you have people close to you now?! Yes, I will, of course push forward and try to keep busy for the sake of my children. Thanks for your post

Thanks for your post Sam, wow, new twins and T I bet that was quite a time!! You sound like a marvel to me, you have been through so much! In answer to your question, I don't think that my hearing has ever been that great, I seem to always be asking people to repeat things... Although the...

Thanks so much for your kind words and support Deb, it really means alot! You sound like one very strong and caring lady! I have taken lots from your post, thank you! Yes, I am being treated for my PND, with talking therapy and medication. I also have a few groups that I go to which help too...

Hi Mike, like I said, you can always talk to me. I think, just like you said, that whatever happens we will eventually habituate to these sounds and live normal, happy lives.... you know where I am if you need me x

Thanks for your advice Greg... slowly and surely wins the race???

Well, you can talk to me, anytime!! My tinnitus is high pitched like cicadas or grasshoppers with extra whistles added in sometimes...all the time....it seems to change...louder sometimes and quieter too. I love the quieter mornings they feel like bliss!

Thanks Greg, still slightly concerned that the sertraline / zoloft may be a contributing factor, as it can be a side affect...but not sure what to do in this case...

Right, with my 'mum' head firmly screwed on may I suggest that it is not a good idea for you to be going too fast anyway!! But, I also understand at your time of life the freedom, and what it and what it means to you, and I can only feel sorry for your loss! have you been able to discuss your T...

My T usually sounds like cicadas/grasshoppers or like some sort of electrical/static hissing charge, just wondered if this was normal. I feel like it may change quite frequently and wonder if this is just my perception??

I'm so sorry to hear this! At 21 you should, of course, be living life to the max (I was!) I find that my T is most quiet in the morning...and at times can almost feel silent for a few minutes at least...what is your experience?
