    Realizing that I have "Good T Days" also means I realize I have "Bad T Days", maybe I need to realize nothing at all?!

    @Joe Cuber I really haven't, it tends to be better on weekends though, but less stress and more sleep :). Maybe tracking it would help, along with determining possible triggers

    I'd say tracking your tinnitus and putting a rating on it is a waste of time. Tinnitus is gunna do what it wants and tracking it will make you focus on it.

    Mine has been better on weekends lately too. Now if only every day was Saturday.

    Maybe another "quietish" day... I hope! I am almost convinced that most of the sound is coming from my left ear at this point... who knows!
    Tryn2BHopeful
    Well.. after 2 conference calls Mr T. is getting angrier... but not terrible I guess... On a side note... I called a Tinnitus treatment center... and it literally kept ringing...jokes on me!
    Tryn2BHopeful
    Welp little over 2 weeks to go to the Tinnitus center... not sure what will come of it, but hopefully they can help me in the long run. How my life has changed in the last few months.

    Woke up relatively quiet, we will see how it goes.

    Well... so far so good... relatively low. I took some magnesium and added back the little bit of mirtazapine I removed prior... so either that worked or its just a good day.

    So I am sitting here... and I hear this other sound and I am thinking here we go a new sound... Turns out its my computer fan... I dont even know whats real anymore!

    @Mo8409 yes I do miss it. I miss being able to just enjoy the loud laughter of my kids without T reacting. Today is almost over... hoping for a better tomorrow:) thanks for the support.

    It's also my daughter's 10th birthday and I guess it all caught up to me today with trying to stay positive. First time I have actually cried in a while...just too much today
    Mo8409
    @Tryn2BHopeful It's okay to have cry outs. I know it's hard to remain positive for our kids when we're screaming on the inside.

    Rough day... kids wanted to go to the wax museum and aquarium... I never realized how loud those places were until Mr. T
    Tryn2BHopeful
    @Joe Cuber well I am fine today, normal buzzing... it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't react to the sound so much. The loudness is mostly the overly loud music they play.
    Mo8409
    @Tryn2BHopeful Do you carry ear plugs just incase? I get the loop ones if you need a brand. Cheap on Amazon.
    Tryn2BHopeful
    @Mo8409 Yes I do. I wore them through the aquarium after tempting fate at the wax museum

    Mr. T has been good to me so far on vacation. Not perfect sometimes he gets mad... but cicadas are amazing. Who knew in SC...
    Tryn2BHopeful
    10 hours of driving... that's rough on the T!

    I didn't, but I don't tend to get long lasting spikes, just buzzing that goes up and down with certain sounds. Still the drive tends to make it go up the duration of the ride
    Tryn2BHopeful
    Also my sensitivity to sounds has gone way down, just the reactivity is still there mostly for droning sounds like fans
    Tryn2BHopeful
    I did have ear plugs at the ready though

    At the ENT, audiologist said my hearing was excellent...

    Ahh the vitamins. They also gave me some lipo flavonoid samples and sent me on my way. You can try going to an audiologist who specializes in tinnitus, they can do more extensive testing but there's only so much they can do since there is no treatment or cure.
    Tryn2BHopeful
    It's not that I expected much... but I wasn't expecting snake oil from the ENT. Maybe I will try them...<shrug>
    Tryn2BHopeful
    I did get a number to a local tinnitus clinic. That's my next step after vacation

    The fan on my wife's work computer.....needs to be torn out and destroyed...

    I switched from a 2015 macbook pro to an m2 mac mini, and I couldn't be happier. Zero fan noise.

    Can you set up her computer with a computer cooling pad so it doesn't get warm enough to trigger the fan as often?
    Tryn2BHopeful
    Nah it's a work issued monster. She could move to a laptop but she refuses
    Tryn2BHopeful
    Hyperacusis?! Now I know how my dog feels! Maybe that's why he sleeps so much...
    Mo8409
    I had it in the first month. It's a little bit better now in the 4th month. Hopefully yours gets better.
    Tryn2BHopeful
    It has certainly gotten better... but some things still cut through me like a knife... I have been trying to not use ear protection unless absolutely necessary, like when mowing the grass, or the vacuum.
    Mo8409
    @Tryn2BHopeful Yeah that's smart. Try not to over do it on the noise though too. You'll know what you can handle.

    Not too dim your late mate, but Aristotle was wrong about a lot of things lol. Just messing with you.

    Not near as long as alot of people here but it feels like forever. Going into 5 weeks. It started one night after my second dose of lexapro and hasn't stopped since, even with discontinuing.

    At my office they have a "Pop a Shot" basketball game right on the other side of my desk that people come and play ALL DAY!
