    It Gets Better — I No Longer Obsess Over or Notice My Tinnitus Most of the Time

    I’ve had tinnitus for five years (so crazy), and I agree with this sentiment. I was a complete wreck—suicidal, depressed, and barely functioning for such a long time. But over time, I slowly reclaimed my life. It gets better, either because it fades or because, after enough time, you finally...

    I looked at posts from 2020 and crying and it was 3 months in. Hahahahahaha. What little did I know? Clearly that this was now my new life. Heart breaking.

    Does it get easier? I’m on 3 years next month. I haven’t been on here in a while bc of all the gloom and doom, but I don’t feel it’s gotten much easier. I just got on an anti anxiety med. (here comes the banter about ototoxicity)

    Slowly Losing Everything Due to Tinnitus and Hyperacusis

    @TinaRuns, I think you’re even overthinking the treadmill… honestly just live your life and unless a fire alarm doesn’t go off directly in your ear most things are ok. I go to bars. I don’t wear earplugs. Sick of living my life like this and not feeling ‘normal.’

    Slowly Losing Everything Due to Tinnitus and Hyperacusis

    @TinaRuns, just run. You’ll be fine. I love running and I started again. Running won’t affect tinnitus and those that think it does - did it ever occur that this is probably PSYCHOLOGICAL?

    @bethadtr not to mention the fact we just want to feel “normal.” I don’t want to have to wear earplugs at a bar when no one else does. I want to be normal…

    @bethadtr good for you - that’s what I’ve been doing. No earplugs even at bars anymore, only using them in super loud situations, and I’ve been fine. Life is too short…

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus; Years of Headphone Use

    I’m 17 months in, not sure why the hell I got this. I’m assuming it’s noise induced since I’ve had every test done. I suppose after time it gets slightly easier. I’ve been having a louder week (stress?) which makes those dark thoughts come creeping back in... but I have to force myself to stay...
