Get your facts straight dude...

@Marie79 He has had minor T for as long as he can remember. In 2010 it went up a level, but he learned how to ignore it and eventually forgot about it. In 2014 it reached intrusive levels after riding go-kart with his friends without wearing earplugs.

@Bill Bauer, you're referring to a lot of posters who are new to T and H - early days are horrible and T can spike just by breathing. Have you read @CDNThailand's last post...? He's fine nowadays. I agree that one should be careful and always use earplugs when needed, but living a life being...

Wonderful post, but I agree with @vermillion - please write a more detailed story of your journey with T. Thank you!

Lyme, isn't there a test for that? Anyway, I think your healthy as a horse...

Personally I got more sensitive when I protected my ears from daily normal/moderate sounds. Concert, clubs, pubs are however still out of the question for me.
