    I've Moved On

    First off mine is more on the mild side. I can hear it in quiet room, it's probably a 3/4 - multiple tones, new ones that come and go. I've learned to just let it be. Staying off this forum has helped immensely. Honestly I get it, you want to be around people who feel your pain but I fought...

    The Positivity Thread

    I went to a pool party with loud music bumpin today and bad a GREAT time. I used my downbeats plugs and no spikes. Just exhausted from the hot ass sun! My son was in the pool for 3.5 hours! To let him be out and enjoy himself was a reward. I felt "normal" even with plugs in, had a great time...

    I'm Ready to Move on with Life

    I watched this entire thing this morning. In CBT part of it is "exposure". Little by little and not to dangerous sounds, but back into life. Dr. Hubbard's story is on this forum too.

    Yes my dad has T. He hears jet engines. I told him about new research about T and he does not care for it at all. He says he doesn't even notice it until someone asks him. He's able to tune it out and focus on other things. This talk really helped me get through some rough patches.

    I'm Ready to Move on with Life

    I didn't mean I was going to be careless. I've gone to a few loud events before with earplugs, away from speakers, and no spikes. But I really need to lose grip of letting T control my daily decisions. So far the only thing that has made my T louder was a cold/sinus issue. That has subsided...

    I'm Ready to Move on with Life

    Well so I looked up the courses and I can take one specifically for makeup without the hair. I'm probably going to do that and if there are hair dryers going near me ill use earplugs. I don't want to feel like I'm hiding from the world anymore. T has made me more aware to take care of my ears...

    I'm Ready to Move on with Life

    So I've had T since the end of January this year. I have what you might consider a minor nuisance. Different tones in each ear, I don't say I suffer but feel for all of you who do. A little background on me.. I'm a homebody, stay at home mom who homeschools her son. I've always lived a...

    Should I Be Concerned About Driving Through Mountains? Will This Increase My Tinnitus?

    Hi Chris! Took a road trip a few weeks back to NC and drove through some mountains. No problems :) I had a cold and I think that was more of the issue than the mountains. Enjoy the view!!

    Tinnitus Beeps Now?

    This happened to me a few weeks back if you look at my thread. It doesn't happen that often anymore, maybe softly in the mornings but for the most part its gone. I had a cold and stress from a road trip. Which one? No idea just glad I have my regular one back.

    Praying for Manchester

    I'm sure most of you have heard of the event that took place in Manchester with Ariana Grande's concert. I deeply feel sorry for all the families hurt by this. A part of me thought... maybe not going to concerts isn't that bad anymore. I've never been a concert person but the bombings are...

    Please Help. I Think I'm Losing My Mind with My New Tinnitus.

    I dont have experience with your condition but you are in my thoughts. In the meantime youtube tinnitus relief videos and wait for your meds. If you are feeling really low, definitely call your doc. Hope you get better <3
