    I need to vacuum so badly, but I can't. It's too loud. I'm embarrassed to say how much time has passed since I vacuumed last...

    If you're able to leave home, you can try using a Roomba to vacuum while you're gone. I believe the new ones can be turned on/off remotely.

    Vacuums are the worst. Thank god for my cleaning lady.
    kingsfan
    @cjbhab If I ever get a job again that's what I want to do. I've racked up a lot of debt being unemployed though so who knows if I'll ever be in that stable position again.

    Strung a couple of decent days together (with the new louder static) only to have the high freq hiss back today. Haven't done anything new

    Hey there, I remember seeing something that you had some custom earplugs made using 3-D scan was wondering how was it did it hurt etc. etc.
    kingsfan
    Yea I have a couple pair of custom molds. Having the molds taken is painless and only takes a minute or two. Feels like shaving cream or whipped cream in your ears.

    That's great. So nothing really to worry about. Thanks appreciate it

    I wonder if magnesium glycinate might be spiking me. Looks like it has happened to people here. I'm taking it for non-tinnitus reasons
    Pinhead
    It gave me new temporary tones that would wake me in the middle of the night. They stopped as soon as I switched to Magnesium L-Threonate. It doesn't help the screeching, but it helps me sleep.
    kingsfan
    @Pinhead Yea I've taken L-threonate without any issue
    kingsfan
    Played my electric guitar unplugged yesterday with only fingerpicking. Was nice, but immediately spiked me and has carried over into today.

    Am I really worried that clipping my cats nails without hearing protection will worsen me? Got that TTTS pressure in my right ear now
    J
    When I worsen ALL sounds scare the shit out of me. Then a few day go by, I'm still alive, my nerves calm some. But while I'm in that state I do overprotect. After that my ears crack and flutter adjusting back to no plugs. Its better than damage on top of damage.
    kingsfan
    @JeffToob Yea I have ups and downs with it, but it's always 2 steps, 1 step forward with my tinnitus. So I'll get better, but never back to the previous level.

    It's always been up and down with TTTS as well. It will get better. I'll stop protecting for every little thing, then eventually it comes back and I'll begin overprotecting again until it settles. Rinse and repeat.

    I'm just baffled that a few seconds of a hand dryer WITH earplugs would increase my T so much. I survived it 100 times before with less pro
    Juliane
    Stop using hand dryers. Honestly. Not worth it. How about a towel?
    kingsfan
    @Juliane I didn't use it. Some teenager turned it on right as I walked in the door.
    Juliane
    Oh :-(
    kingsfan
    I was hoping 1of1 would have a mother's day sale as I really want to get custom solids. I don't want to wait until memorial day

    Thank you so much. Can you recommend the best ones to get from them?
    kingsfan
    @snizzleberry They are having a 15% off sale today and tomorrow. I caught the email they sent me a little late, the sale started last week.

    I personally like the Pro-20 and Pro-27 as they don't attenuate low frequencies as much and sound better in every day situations.

    The Pro-17 and Pro-26 have more low freq attenuation and probably sound better for concerts with large subwoofers.

    Once again, dealing with more than just my tinnitus. My body is a wreck.

    Same here brother hang in there. The last 6 months of my life has been a total wreck.
    Utdmad89
    Yep 18 months of this crap. When will the suffering end
    kingsfan
    I've been dealing with this particular health problem for about a year now. It's extremely painful, I slowly rehabilitate, only to re-injure and continue the cycle. I feel like it's just going to continue and never really fully heal.
    kingsfan
    It's interesting reading other's noise trauma experiences. Mine are so bland - going to mechanic, walking into a restroom. My life is sad.

    @4Grace No I only took it the one time
    snizzleberry
    It's not too late to start living again. We only live once.
    kingsfan
    @snizzleberry I've been trying. Being unemployed and unable to snag a tinnitus-safe job for almost 3 years has really hindered me. I did get to witness the total solar eclipse a month ago though, so that's something. Saw it alone though.
    kingsfan
    Seems this elevated head hiss/static will be the norm now.Static in right ear has elevated to an uncomfortable level.It used to b a nonissue
    kingsfan
    Another day of recruiters contacting me on LinkedIn and then ghosting me. Down to my last dollar. Yet another worsening. My end is nearing.
    RunningMan
    I keep hearing about more tech layoffs. Two family members have lost IT jobs in the last year. Neither has found a new one.
    Juliane
    How about unemployment benefits?
    kingsfan
    I cant handle my right ear.The static is too loud and harsh and the tone too variable.ear feels clogged bc the static is blocking my hearing
    4Grace
    @kingsfan / this is insane. So sorry. Just no words. Last year you had mentioned mirt. Did it help? Gabapentin - help? Any medication that helped? I have Nox and need something.
    kingsfan
    Are earplugs a waste of time? Ive been wearing them since the beginning. Ive experimented with many different kinds.But I continue to worsen
    Joshua Macleod
    They've been really beneficial for me, I think.
    kingsfan
    @Joshua Macleod I think I'm just going to get custom solids. Filtered don't seem to be enough, and I use the strongest filters available for my customs (ACS Pro26).
    snizzleberry
    I've gotten worse from wearing them. That's why I stopped pretty much.
    kingsfan
    At this point, this Auricle device will only get me to less horrible tinnitus. If I could have had it before Dec. I may have been saved.
    kingsfan
    The alarm going off on me at target has definitely made things worse. I'm hanging on by a thread.it's crucial i find a job in the next month
    kingsfan
    But how can I with this much adversity? It's a struggle to function. If I owned a gun I'd have used it already.
    Juliane
    @kingsfan Don't say that. I know life feels unbearable. It does for me too. We have to believe in better days. I have hope for you
    Juliane
    We have to believe these hardships will end for us
    kingsfan
    I cant take this stress anymoreTruck besideme set off itsalarm as I was changing earplugsin my carThen setthe alarm off at the grocery store

    the gabapentin.
    4Grace
    Sorry to hear this. Really am. Hopefully with time it goes back down. I feel like it's like trying to avoid air when we go out. Stressful and impossible.
    kingsfan
    @4Grace I'm surprised anyone could read my rambling. I was on my phone in the parking lot just having a mental breakdown.

    Too many mistakes on my part. I should have been just doing curbside orders instead of going into stores these past 3 years. I probably would have avoided a lot of misfortune. Feels too late to bother now.
    kingsfan
    Cool cool cool. Set off the alarm at Target twice. That thing is at ear level when you walk through it. Not gonna freak out....
    kingsfan
    My ears have that pressure like they need to pop again, but my eustachian tubes are completely clear. Worrying. I can't believe I forgot there was a security tag on my stuff. I'm never careful enough. I really think I have ADHD and it's a terrible combination with Tinnitus.
    kingsfan
    Not T related,but I'm losing the hair on my legs and they burn when I wear pants. I look goofy & even uglier now
    kingsfan
    wow my tinnitus is insane tonight. It's like a plasma gun charging then resets, causing a zapping sensation, then charging up again.
    4Grace
    :(
    Barry098
    Same here…mine is seriously pissed off about something!
    4Grace
    Suffering is interesting. I have had pain in my ear. Kinda went away. Now massive soar throat for months. Swollen lymph node. If the pain goes away I feel like this blasting T won't be so bad. The pain is unbearable. I would appreciate just T. A least for a short while.
    kingsfan
    I was actually stringing together some decent days until I ran some errands today. Back to end of December levels.
    kingsfan
    What's the point if AI will replace anything I've worked hard to learn. Might as well put the barrel to my head now and save time.

    Human beings have really made a point out of making this planet inhabitable. In so many ways
    kingsfan
    @Juliane Our purpose is to fulfill the ultra wealthy. That whole "a nice recession will [solve the return to office dilemma]" that mega-wealthy CEO said and Bob Iger saying that actors losing their homes will force them to end the strike is messed up.
    kingsfan
    @RunningMan And the AI bootlickers solution is to "transfer to new roles specializing in prompt-writing" is ridiculous. Artists, designers, engineers don't want to sit around and write prompts. They want to create hands-on.
    kingsfan
    Few things hurt quite like hearing your teenage child tell you they are saving up to visit you bc you can't afford to visit them...
    kingsfan
    I'm about to just let my tinnitus worsen and get a job at a factory or construction or something, anything to get out of this shame
    RunningMan
    Widening your net is probably a good idea. Good luck in your search. Sucks about the tech layoffs.
    kingsfan
    Just found a piece of my cat's string toy is missing. I think he ingested it. Distraught whether to go to get x-ray, but I have little $$$

    @Tryn2BHopeful maybe 2 inches of a thin, stretchy, elastic string. I have read it can entangle around the intestines and kill the tissue. I just don't know if it's long enough for that to happen.
    Tryn2BHopeful
    hrm.... you would think if it was on a cats toy it would be safe! I get what your saying though.
    kingsfan
    @Tryn2BHopeful I already had to take him before because he ate a toy. That one was like a fluffy worm. I usually put everything away when unsupervised, but I guess I forgot this one time.
    kingsfan
    Those stupid little alarms in Best Buy went off twice while I was there today. My watch only said 67dBa, so fingers crossed.
