That's not what I mean, I just get fed up with people who are all doom and gloom. I believe your input is very good :) it's not at all negative, just to the point

Okay I got enough info out of this, I'm passing on the callcenter job. Already got an offer to do a promotional job where I have to sell things on the street. So that'll probably be less risky. And it pays better :)

I completely agree with what you've posted here! I've been there too! The dark days where nothing or no one could console me. I would have none of it. My life was over, I was sure of it. But magically enough my therapist really helped me with some CBT techniques and just overall positive...

Alright Alright I'm not looking for a fight. I'm sorry for you that you are in that certain position, and I really hope things will get better. But there is nothing wrong with being a bit more positive. I'm just trying to help out. And apparently you've habituated before, so I'm sure you'll do...

You have no idea what kind of T I have, I think it's a bit offensive calling someone's T "baby T" as if I haven't struggled at all. As if I haven't felt the despair of a life shattering condition. My T fluctuates, sometimes it's barely audible and sometimes it's roaring above everything. I...

Is there an audiologist on this forum who could give me accurate information? I really get it that most of you are very careful with your hearing etc. But we were meant to hear, noise isn't bad. Avoiding it by all costs is how you develop H. Also I refuse to let T depict my life. I'm chasing my...

But some people here still listen to music daily with headphones or even use earbuds to mask their tinnitus with rainsounds. My T doesn't really get aggrevated by sounds and my audiogram is perfect. I have no hearing loss whatsoever

I'll be working there for about 3 weeks, where I'll be wearing headphones for about 8 hours a day (5 days a week). I'll probably set the volume at a reasonable level, so I'll be able to hear the customer but not overdoing it at the same time. I really need the money. They're headphones not...

Will this be safe? I'll be wearing headphones most of the day and making calls

I really get what you mean. I love post-rock and I loved mogwai's music. Everything is just so intense with them. But yeah they probably know about tinnitus (It's impossible that not one of their band members has it) and to still play at such unreasonable volumes. At least warn their fans or...

It was dumb because 2 years beforehand I did a schoolproject where we actually tried to raise awareness about earplugs and hearing loss (T wasn't really emphasized though..). I would ALWAYS wear earplugs to concerts and the like. It just took one time unprotected to one of the loudest bands ever...

I got tinnitus because of mogwai.. Went to one of their gigs unprotected.. Dumbest thing ever..

Could it be possible that because of my increased attention to T lately that it sparks some some sort of mechanism in my brain by allowing more fleeting tinnitus pass the filter barrier? Past couple of weeks i get like 2-3 fleeting tinnitus "attacks" a day. This made me worried. Is my T worsening?

I've been taking Zolpidem for about two weeks now (I used it before developing tinnitus). Finals are coming up, and I struggle with sleep during stressful times like this (normally, I sleep fine even with tinnitus). However, over the past few days, my tinnitus has been off the charts. Could...
