    I was almost habituated to my T before this flu, ear drum infection BS. It took years. My hearing is so off at the moment, I cant hear, my ear is clogged. There is a tiny hole in my eardrum. Tinnitus is like in the beginning of T but now in my previously better ear.

    And also ENT did microsuction on top of everything before the procedure. My hearing is so messed up at the moment. Tinnitus is so intolerable in my usually better ear I feel like I cant take it. :(

    I went to my second concert after my tinnitus started. And I loved it. I stayed far away from speakers and used ear protection.
