My tinnitus faded a bit around the 5-month mark. Keep hope alive. It can get quieter. Stay strong!

Thank you for your posts. You have a great attitude!

Keep the positive attitude that you have! Life DOES go on!

Thanks for taking the time to update us. Keep being smart about protecting your ears, and get back to enjoying life. Good luck to you!

Sounds like you’re doing pretty well! You’re working, and that’s huge. We’re all blue-collar in my family—welders, machinists, farmers, concrete guys. I’m retired now, but I’ve been thinking about going back to the machine shop just to see if I can handle the noise. I also miss working and...

Hahahaha. Hitler-boy is acting like he has power (he does not). I will leave when I feel like it. Not when some mush-brained, weakling orders me to.

I understand the pain you are in. I was there too. I would bet that most, if not all of us here, have been through it. The first six months were the most difficult for me. I am truly sorry this has happened to you. You are not alone. Come here as often as you need to. Please protect your...

Cross the border ILLEGALLY. ILLEGAL aliens. What part of ILLEGAL do you not grasp? ILLEGAL = CRIMINAL. Is that simple enough for you, Hitler-face?
