      Will I eventually live a normal life?

        Probably not totally normal. You will have to protect your ears in noisy environments.

        @mattewR - if it helped my tinnitus I would walk around with two yellow bananas on my ears.

        I would get some custom-painted hearing aids and make them a part of my style. A lot of young adults wear hearing aids and I think they rock.

      1) I miss the way I would act around my gf when I was normal. Now I feel less of a man. I am not as masculine I don’t gym as hard.

        I don't think your far enough in to know for sure. Hearing loss can be permanent, T can be as well. However there is a chance it could be temporary or atleast become more tolerable. Wish I could give a guarantee, but there isn't one. It does get easier for most.

        ❤️- so sorry. I know how it feels. It’s hard. If you are early on have hope. Everyone’s case is not the same

        I miss being able to be around loud noises. I love working in our yard mowing and weed eating and using the palm sander and painting. I can’t wear earplugs because it makes my head buzz-static so I can’t do any of that anymore because I can’t protect my hearing from getting worse.That is what I love doing and it really sucks. I miss my old life also.

        Try asking your family members/friends if they have any experience with bad tinnitus. I'd be surprised if you didn't know somebody who had/has it. Just talking with someone like that can help. Turns out I know about 10 people who have had it for years. They got thru it.
