I am gonna be so mad if histamines end up being one of the answers in the puzzle of tinnitus...

This is no life.

Argh! Antidepressants can be so helpful especially since most of them are also antihistamines but they make my dry eye worse!

Getting more used to my hearing aids. I need to start learning ASL but the anxiety over this whole thing is so paralyzing.

Progressive hearing loss is a thief. It feels like I need to become a new person to accept that one day I will be deaf.

9 years of just worsening T and hearing loss. Why was I born? Why am I here?

derpytia · Mar 3, 2020

Tinnitus still screeching and screaming away. The fact that I can sleep at night after all these years is still nothing short of a miracle.

Oof. Lost more hearing again. Guess dead silence during a power outage makes ears work harder

derpytia · Oct 29, 2019

Having tinnitus in the silence and darkness of a power outage is not fun at all.

derpytia · Aug 21, 2019

Having a huge hunch right now that brain inflammation is the difference between hearing loss with tinnitus and without tinnitus.

Hi derpytia, you have mentioned that your hearing is declining gradually just would like to ask did you have your vitamin d levels checked. Vitamin D deficiency can pretty much do that you can google it.

A really big ((hugs)) to you.

derpytia · Jun 28, 2019

if anyone's been wondering what i've been, i've just been taking a mental break away from here. gotta survive somehow.

derpytia · May 14, 2019

Trying to write but my sinuses/allergies seem hellbent on forcing me to take antihistamines which make me sleepy

derpytia · May 7, 2019

Another ear infection. Super.

derpytia · May 5, 2019

ETD sucks so much. Two straight days of tinnitus so loud because of the fluid in my ears...

Lynny · Mar 21, 2019

How are you doing?

derpytia · Mar 11, 2019

Got an ear infection again so I decided to try a tumeric/black pepper pill. Took one. Didn't take any the next day. Whistle tones are quiet!

derpytia · Feb 24, 2019

Thinking I might have cochlear hydrops. A lot of the symptoms are there in my left ear, especially when I eat something with a lot of salt.

derpytia · Feb 19, 2019

Lost more hearing. For no reason this time. I just woke up one day with more gone and more tinnitus.

derpytia · Feb 14, 2019

Being a woman doubly sucks when you have tinnitus because every month my hormones go out of whack and spikes my tinnitus so badly!

derpytia · Feb 8, 2019

So many things I want to do but coping with tinnitus through each day takes so much energy...

derpytia · Jan 31, 2019

I hate sinus infections ugh

derpytia · Jan 17, 2019

Huge storm with loud thunder. Wearing earplugs but afraid I didn't put them on soon enough. Might have damaged my hearing again...

derpytia · Jan 16, 2019

I do not live. I merely exist.

derpytia · Jan 2, 2019

Holding onto a reason to hope is the hardest thing to do in the face of tinnitus.

derpytia · Dec 29, 2018

If you would have told me that my tinnitus would have gotten this bad in five years I would have been gone already.

derpytia · Dec 25, 2018

I have never wanted to die so badly...

derpytia · Dec 3, 2018

Legal euthanasia looks like a really good option for me right now

derpytia · Dec 1, 2018

Welp. For the sixth time (3rd time this year) my tinnitus has another permanent increase again...
