Almost 4 years and i can't concentrate properly.. feeling really lost

2080 for noise-induced hearing loss and noise-induced tinnitus.

What an age to live in, where you rather have any other disabillity or impairment but severe tinnitus and hearing problems. With no urgency withing the hearing field, how am I supposed to survive any longer? Almost 4 years to get better, but only got worse. If there was a last ditch effort -...

You should have your hearing evaluated, at least have a standard hearing test (audiometry) - I hope for your own good that you don't have any hearing impairment to accompany the tinnitus. I completely disagree with this, even though everyone around is glued to their PMPs, less people will...

What were the hearing levels at the audiogram (if you mind sharing)? If you have elevated thresholds, it's unlikely that the concert was the culprit, it was more the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I'm at a stage where I can no longer go on with the severity of the disability. I can't comprehend 90% of what's being said daily. Bear in mind I've not been exposed to noise in the last 3 years, at all. The tinnitus itself is still as bad as it can be, maintaining concentration for 1 minute is...

Almost 4 years of complete dysfunction and for what?? for a damned stupid part time job. No treatment, no prospect of future treatment.

My hearing is at a stage where following a 10 second conversaiton is impossible. i can't comprehend 90% of what's being said.

I'm completely done with this BS. I'm going to finish my semester at uni and apply to Pegasos. Stupid to lose your life over a BS job at a café but it is what is is. I'm just fu*king done.

Too real.

We as a community should articulate to researchers that bad tinnitus causes cognitive disabillity that few conditions cause at that level.

I can't take another day of this torture, i can't! I have already thrown away more than 3 years of what should be my prime years for it to get better and it's STILL severe. I'm not going to waste my life away and survive countless days of torture and dysfunction because of my stupid mistake...

Seeing the Adderall shortage right now, imagine we had the same lobby that ADHD has, then we would also be functioning human beings as well.

If it wasn't for my audiometric loss at 6 kHz, I would tend to believe it, but I have 15 dB and 20 dB loss at 6 kHz which is a massive loss, especially being so young. It's classic NIHL. How did I end up with such damage so young is another question (It can normally take up to 20 years to...

At this point I sound like a broken record. 3 years is more than enough to wait to get better, and my functional hearing and my tinnitus (which was really bad from the onset) only seem to be getting worse. I'm only 23 - seeing everybody, whether my age group or not, without tinnitus and...
