Rereading my old posts from years ago made me shed a tear. After losing my hearing aids a lot of old fears and memories came back. I almost forgot how hopeless and dark it used to be. I don't think people understand how traumatic going through something like this can be. Wishing everyone else on...

I’ve come across many of your posts and comments, especially during the height of my struggle with this affliction. I remember you always being incredibly kind and helpful! I haven’t been on here much, partly for the same reasons you mentioned, and I’ve often wondered how you were doing. It...

Everything was going better until I lost my hearing aids😭 I’m too broke to replace them… does anyone have suggestions?

Hi everyone, I’d really like to ask someone with some motorcycle-experience some (possibly dumb) questions about motorcycles / tinnitus (or hearing loss in general). It’s been my dream for years to get my license, and I’ve been saving up since I was about 15 years old. Unfortunately at 19 I...

Anyone have experience with motorcycle riding + tinnitus? I really want to get my license

Still with the high pitch :’( Today I heard it (aggressively) while skating (aggressively). That hasn’t happened before

Am I responsible for my alcoholism or is tinnitus

Studying in the US is a completely different experience. Also, cicadas are LOUD!

First panic attack in almost 4 months.. back to xanax after a sudden spike. Pray for me y'all! :(

I agree! I can still hear my tinnitus above the 'masking' quite easily, though. I suppose maybe masking isn't the right word for it. For me it's a distraction from the tinnitus, not a complete masking of it.

In that case I believe hearing aids might suit you even better! Although I have little to no hearing loss, the option to raise the volume of certain sounds in my surroundings has helped me greatly. It's a more natural sounding type of masking! In your case the hearing aids 'filling in the...

(Disclaimer: I still have tinnitus, this is not a succes in terms of a literal cure) I'm hesitant to post this in success stories, as I know it's not always appreciated when the success does not entail a physical improvement or the disappearance of the tinnitus itself. But for me not being...
