@fhs Ive been diabetic for since i was 18, im 39 now. I wouldnt doubt being diabetic has something to do with it but ive had my blood sugar under control for the most part but the longer you have diabetes the worse the symptoms are. Like my kidneys losing functions, going blind in my right eye...

@Sooner Arrow Its been tough. I feel like its getting worse. Just day after day it wears me down. I haven't been able to really cope well. Can't get used to it. Sleep is hit or miss. I dont know what to do anymore. Is there even a such thing as treatment for tinnitus? I cant find relief. I...

Hopeless, imprisoned, depressed, anxiety, angry, suicidal, miserable, lonely, dark.

@Sooner Arrow Yeah ive been forcibly anti social myself. People know Im not well but they seem to forget you can certain problems that limit you mentally, socially and physically. Your concentration and ability to focus falls off a cliff. But still people will after awhile start asking me can I...

@Ed209 My ex called me a couple nights ago. It was extremely emotional. I dont know what to really say to someone who doesnt understand you. She wanted to know if the ringing went away or if im getting better and I said no. She told me I act like im dying. Acting? No, for once go google...

@SilverSpiral Its been two months and from everything Ive researched, all the supplements, medications, and therapies ive tried and the information ive been given by the doctors, ent, audiologist, and others who have tinnitus, I think its permanent. Ive come to terms with that. I dont want to...

@fishbone "It is what it is" thats like the mantra of my life. Its like a woman living with an abusive husband. The more you fight back the more he beats the crap out of her. I don't think reflecting back on my life and ascertaining the quality of it is a mistake. Things like this force you to...

@fishbone From 1 to 10, 10 being super loud I would say my T is around a 7 or 8 most of the time. That is why its so hard to mask because it is not only loud but reactive. So if I play something like the sound of a waterfall, it turns into a 9. When I have to drive is when its at its worse. I...

Titanic.... dont tell anyone.

@BLane I got outside and lay out on the back porch. I never appreciated birds, crickets, and the planes that fly over more. I always hear it regardless. I listen to it. It seems unbelievable at time. There is literally nothing I can do to remove you out of my life. So how can we coexist. Maybe...

Ha................ ha.

@slipware whenever someone describes habituation to me its sounds like theyre describing a form of meditation or hypnosis. I do believe it is possible to build such a tolerance but Im wondering does it depend on how intrusive and loud the T is. I can build such a tolerance where it isnt as...

@hans799 someone will have to explain to me what habituation is. Tolerance is unlikely and I would have a better chance winning the lottery than waking up one day and having this gone. I doubt I would have such luck.

@stophiss Yes, suffering is integral and essential even to building your tolerance, character, and inner fortitude. It shapes you in some cases positively. But living in a constant insufferable condition only devalues life and degrades your humanity. Theres only bitter, nothing sweet...
