Keith Handy Apr 21, 2021 We want: More information. More knowledge. More progress. More hope. More relief.
Keith Handy Apr 20, 2021 I have to remind myself that yesterday, I took my time grocery shopping because everything (including the music) sounded pretty *good*.

Keith Handy Apr 20, 2021 @Guywithapug - they say it's a looooong process with wild fluctuations throughout. Those five days were a good sign. You'll have more.

Keith Handy Apr 19, 2021 Tame at work again. "Reactive to sound" seems to be trending more towards "reactive to silence." Central gain low-ish on my break.

Keith Handy Apr 16, 2021 Any kind of surge of adrenaline - trying to be funny, trying to be creative - can ramp up the hissing. Otherwise I'd DO THINGS.

Keith Handy Apr 14, 2021 First post-vax visit with parents, ringing was tolerable despite poor sleep. Hope I can sleep now.
Keith Handy Apr 13, 2021 Nearly 8 million people on the planet and not a single one can tell me why reactive tinnitus reacts.
Keith Handy Apr 13, 2021 I can tell the difference between individual tones being suppressed and central gain being lower. Wish I could control either.

Keith Handy Apr 10, 2021 Noticing how other bodily injuries & ailments heal in three days or so... see, ears, this is how it's supposed to work.

Keith Handy Apr 8, 2021 Lying still with earplugs, mostly hearing mid-range ambient whoosh. Would happily lock it into this mode if possible.

Keith Handy Apr 8, 2021 Maybe we need to better understand the brain as a whole before we can understand auditory disorders.

Keith Handy Apr 7, 2021 I have a damaged stereo in my head and no one in the medical field thinks like a stereo repair technician.

Keith Handy Apr 6, 2021 Kind of reverse-reactive now. The sizzling ramps up in silence. Was tame when out walking earlier. Do I need to start using masking again?

Keith Handy Mar 30, 2021 Reactive tinnitus = a game of "Don't Wake the Demon(s)." Maybe what we need is an exorcist.
Keith Handy Mar 28, 2021 "Here's what worked!" *lists 27 herbs and dietary changes* ...yeah... you DON'T KNOW what worked.
Keith Handy Mar 24, 2021 Uncharacteristically quiet right now. It could stay like this forever and I'd be fine. I know it's just a teaser, though.

Keith Handy Mar 23, 2021 Played some electric guitar with no amp. My fingers work the same, but I feel like I'm only pretending to be alive.

Keith Handy Mar 20, 2021 Can't wait for us all to move past the hearing disorder dark ages and into the age of enlightenment.
Keith Handy Mar 19, 2021 "Some people drift off to sleep in the MRI machine." You gotta be f***ing kidding me.
Keith Handy Mar 16, 2021 Suppose no one knew the illnesses that caused coughing, and people with coughs all went to other people with coughs for advice/support...

Keith Handy Mar 8, 2021 Figuring out tinnitus without understanding its causes is like understanding the behavior of shadows without knowing what's casting them.

Keith Handy Mar 8, 2021 FX-322 *exists*. It exists *now*. It could literally save lives. Petition for compassionate use.
Keith Handy Mar 7, 2021 Waaaay too much correlation mistaken for causation. Just because you did a thing before the spike, doesn't mean it *caused* it.
