  • Hey Jake how is your T going?
    Jake007
    Its the same as it always is, loud and clear
    CAgirl
    Does it get easier Jake? I'm nearly one month into this. Saw you couldn't sleep. I can't either.
    Just got the Peltor x series 31nrr for my hard hat. That plus foam plugs in I'm hoping I can do my job right again.
    Jake007
    Just tested them on a old hard hat, they do they're job like a mofo. I should be golden.
    About to go to a firework show, I used to look forward to firework season.

    @Foncky, the fourth of July to me is the same to Christmas for a kid. Before I could go with no worries, enjoy it fully. Now there's always that what if. I went because I will not have t run my life, but it's not the same now as it was before.
    Foncky
    All right. Be careful and don't stay near if you feel uncomfortable, but if you feel ok to go, you should be ok.
    Jake007
    It was last night, I plugged my ears for grand finale. Kind of like when you told t and h to piss off, I'm riding my mountain bike today. We can't let it run our lives but be careful at the same time. I know you have bad h so it's more complicated for you.
    Listening to halcyon on and on, very relaxing. I would recommend this to anyone who just needs to relax. Or just listen to some good music.

    One of the most beautiful, soothing songs ever created. Loved it in Hackers and MK film... on its own... just bliss.
    I am checking out to do. Thanks for the reply. I am to get dental gone, holistic, removing metal fillings, I guess.
    I just bought the decibel defense earmuffs. Had my 10 year old son try them on and he said it's so quiet he could hear his ears ring.

    Why couldn't you utilese a chainsaw with -37 dB? I am pretty sure a chainsaw is not louder than 120 dB, right? Where did you buy these?
    Bobby B
    i have those muffs - this product is a lie ! those don't 37 USA NRR, its the same rebadged cheap Chinese made product inferior to the peltor x5a in both true nrr and comfort, but cheaper
    Jake007
    Alue, I don't know but that's what they said they are? Jurgen, I got them off amazon. Bobby B, how do they compare to the peltor?
    Anybody ever worry about mowing they're yard?
    Jake007
    I agree all the way, it is absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully we'll get to were we don't care about if that's even possible.
    Foncky
    I don't worry about it. I pay someone to do it ;)
    Jake007
    I even thought about that, but I have to feel somewhat like a normal human being. I can't believe that we go through this shit.
    This is bullshit
    Paul10
    It is; but got to push on to the next day. T sucks, but positivity is key. Enjoy the beers Jake.
    Jake007
    I'm running out of things to be positive about. I couldn't even sit in my living room with my family to watch a movie it is that loud.
    Paul10
    I know how you feel man, trust me, my T is multi-tone, both ears and head, and now pressure in right ear. But I know God has a plan for me yet; stay strong and do what you got to do to get thru each day until better days come along again. All the best.
    What will just knock your ass out cold for 8 hours
    Jake007
    I'm gonna try 6mg melatonin with no beer, maybe one beer. Will be last one for awhile.
    Rubenslash
    Time will also help. After my massive spike in December I was awake for 6-7 hours at night the first weeks. Now it's reduced to 1-2 hours.
    Alue
    Ambien.
    Been waking up at 2 or 3 in the morning and can't fall back asleep for days now.
    D
    I take my pill an hour before bed, then 30 mins of mediation (Head space, or Stop breath - apps on my phone) then i normally go off easily and always wake up at 3am for a pee, and sometimes Im awake for 20 mins but no longer. Im planning to stay on these tabs for max 6 months.
    D
    Have you seen a specialist about the T?
    Jake007
    Yes, I have surgery next Thursday. T is from hearing loss. He's gonna do a tympanomastoidectomy.
    People who don't have tinnitus just don't understand or don't care how hard and difficult it is to live with.
    B
    You are right, they'll just ignore you and think of it as nothing.
    M
    i agree, regular people just doesnt relate to the issues people with some illness face, thats why we have to support each other :)
    Has alcohol made T worse for anyone
    Cameron C
    Yeah it does for most I think. Only temporarily though.
    Jake007
    I said the hell with it one nite and had some fun. It got worse. But it was worth it at the time.
    M
    try white wine, i get pretty drunk after 3 glasses and it doesnt change my t
    How do you find out what kHz your ringing is at?
    MikeGreen
    I was also thinking about this but I never asked anyone here about it. What I believe (just a guess) is that you listen to a certain sound, use a db meter to find out what db that sound is and whether you can hear your T or whether you cant and then make an estimation of how loud your T is in db? I dont know about kHz though. I would love to know how too.
    Jake007
    I have to go for a CT scan tomorrow, I will ask my specialist and let you know what they say. I'm almost scared to find out what it's at.
    MikeGreen
    Keep cool bro.
    Has anyone tried lipoflavonoid
    stacey
    I did about 2 years ago and it didnt do much for me.
    Cameron C
    Yes, no change in T. Dont think its any use if yours is noise-induced. But ive heard its helped with causes through meniere's disease.
    Jake007
    My T is from hearing loss, cholesteatoma. I'll save myself the money. Thanks for your replies I appreciate it.
