Oh lord, slowly I am. Sometimes I have better days than most and other times I think about it and feel really sad. What about you?! What are you still dealing with?

Hey Tara! Funny you commented this, you popped into my mind a few weeks ago. I’m doing a lot better than god. How are you doing? xo

And video games help a lot :D also helps if you have a partner to snuggle with to help get your mind off it lol !

Just try to take it day by day. Easier said than done, I’m v anxious so sometimes my mind races and wanders. Best way is to try and distract yourself. I’ve ordered some candle making kits to help me get by ♥️

@ErikaS i have not noticed the generators have increased my T whatsoever also

@ErikaS i feel you 110%! My T is mostly static in both ears, but my right has a bit of a dull high pitch ring from bubble wrap that popped right next to my ear lol pretty annoying but I can only notice my T when I go to bed. Also I’m recovering from Covid and have noticed my T is a bit louder...

@ErikaS coming on this forum helps at times but it can also be depressing. I try to distract myself with other things but there’s only so much you can do when you’re dealing with this sort of stuff. I hope you’re doing okay.

Just like you, I’m a young woman who was so busy and loved life. Have a wonderful home, amazing job, great family, two Doggos and now I’m stuck with this. It’s been depressing to say the least. But I will try anything and that’s why I’m trying TRT along w counselling. I just want my life back :’(

@ErikaS the spike that I had in October was just one tone, and it lasted a little bit over two weeks. It was one of the hardest two weeks of my life bc I didn’t think it was going away. The one thing that bothers me the most is my noise sensitivity, that has been such a kind fuck it makes me not...

@ErikaS certain sounds make it reactive but I have no idea what because it all seems so random mostly! I have my generators on for most of the day so now even if it is reactive I can’t tell which saves me from a lot of anxiety. I do find that after showers/baths it is a bit louder but it settles...

Do what’s best for you. If you want to try TRT, you have nothing to lose. It’s been helping me.

I am working with an audiologist right now, and doing TRT. the generators helped me so much with my spike, I was able to get my mind off of it at least (even if it doesn’t “help”) well it helped me and I know I would’ve lost my mind if I didn’t have some what of a crutch. Go with what you feel...

@Sammy0225 thank you so much! finally starting to feel better after almost a week :))
