The lady who cuts my hair has tinnitus and she doesn't know the cause. My mom's ex-boyfriend who was in the military has tinnitus from 'shooting guns and blowing things up.' He did these things without hearing protection. He is still a family friend.

This is devastating news. My heart aches for you, Dave. Your posts about Sylvia reflected your deep love for her and made me smile. I am so sorry that you're going through this. Know that you have the love and support from your community here on Tinnitus Talk.

Those quotes from Trump about COVID-19 were appalling to read. Absolutely appalling. I shouldn't be surprised though. I wish that people would fact check the information that they find online. I have some information that I need to continue fact checking myself. Luckily I didn't get the...

COVID-19 is freaking me out because I'm considered high risk thanks to one of my health conditions. I've been pretty isolated since March so I'm safe, but it bites that this pandemic has put me in between a rock and a hard place. I don't like being out of a job and I empathize with so many...

I'm sorry that your tinnitus is acting up again and I hope that your sleep improves. Sending positive thoughts your way. :huganimation:

Lol! :p I'm happy that you're caring less about your tinnitus and that you're reading more! I hope you're enjoying Armed and Magical. :D Schwab is great! I love "City of Ghosts" and "Tunnel of Bones" and I read them last fall. I'll have to look up which books are her first ones. Which books of...

Aww! :eek::huganimation: It really is nice! I'm sorry that your mom has dealt with doctors shrugging her off, but that doesn't surprise me. Yes, my hearing device is called a combination device. It amplifies sound in my right ear and plays soothing Zen tones that can help distract from the...

Tinnitus has become intermittent in my left ear. My left ear is silent sometimes. I have obnoxious tinnitus on the left side of my head.

I hope that reading with tinnitus becomes doable for you. I struggle when it comes to reading with tinnitus, but I'm trying my best since I've loved reading for years. The Deficit Myth sounds really good.

You should! Cartoons and animation are fantastic. :D Omg! Animaniacs. It's my childhood. :love: The trailer for the reboot made me laugh and smile. The scenes with Pinky and the Brain made me smile! Thanks for posting it. :)

I'm sorry that it's going to take you so long to see an ENT and neurologist. It doesn't sound like the CT scan will have results that apply to your hearing damage. The reason for that (your acoustic shock) makes sense. My aunt is really into Buddhism and meditation and so was my uncle while he...

There's nothing wrong with that. :LOL: It's annoying when alerts don't show up. I don't like missing out on posts either. That's true. We do go through ups and downs with tinnitus. Seeing an audiologist who is also a tinnitus expert on Wednesday helped me. I saw her for a sound therapy...
