Hello everyone, I came here to look for info on another topic and saw that I made my account exactly 1 year ago and figured I should give an update. My tinnitus was noise-induced and what I would call moderate when it was at its worst. There were some days in the 1st month where it felt like...

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement John. I'm managing in my own way. It really does mean something to me when others share and I thank you for that. Looks like I'm stuck with T for now but can't hear it over normal conversation so I guess I have nothing to complain about. Keep...

It was approximately 1 minute but I was fully exposed during certain times of the incident. I never felt uncomfortable and surely didn't understand the how far tinnitus could reach. The funny thing is that Idk if I'm locked into tinnitus for the long haul or not. I truly hope not. I dont want...

Hello everyone. A little more than week ago I foolishly helped the maintenance guy in my complex try and stop a car alarm that was going off. I was about a foot away from the alarm holding it down with a screwdriver but it would slip every once in a while. I wasn't exposed nearly as long as the...
