I sure wish I could go back to the days I would sit in my garage and wonder where that faint high pitch noise was coming from. How funny it is now to look back at myself running around the house trying to find out what it was. I could only hear it from the deafening silence of the garage. After a couple of months it became apparent that the noise was coming from inside my head and it follows me everywhere.
Its been about 8 years now and my T has become gradually louder and louder with each passing year. Where did it come from? Who knows? Maybe it is reprocussions from loud clubs in my younger years, maybe it's because I drive with my window open all the time, maybe it was my dirt bike engine, maybe it was the blow to the head I took about a year before this started, maybe its water in my ear from showering twice a day, its probably from being exposed to loud noises at work all the time and me doing nothing to protect my ears...what do you expect...I am Man.
The truth is, who cares? It is what it is. There are no know cures or even treatments with high rates of positive results so its time to get on with it. The less time you spend thinking about it the less time it will bother you. Sure it's ok to have your moments but don't let this tear your life apart. Things could be much worse, you could have a terminal illness, living out your days in a wheelchair or watching your children starve to death while the rest of us play with our new iPhones.
Have hope that someday, science will find the answer.
