    I definitely feel that. I keep a card my daughter made for me that says "You got this!" On my dresser and read it every morning. It keeps me going

    Went to my daughter's xmas orchestra concert. Seemed fine at the time not to loud. Few days later increased T loudness, sensitivity, and distortions. Been terrible since. Rarely have a ok day now.

    I feel like I am in the same place right now :(. Unfortunately if we want to be in this world we have to keep on going and hope the spike subsides or by some miracle we "habituate" to it again.

    I hear you, and I know your right. However its just hard to feel that way. I was so close to getting over the hump... and I screwed up. I am tired, stressed and I just don't know how to find my way back again. I need to stop blaming myself and move forward, easier said than done. As always I...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    When I first got tinnitus and described the low drone, I went to three different audiologists. The first one said it must be energy building up in my ear and releasing as sound. The second one admitted they had no idea, which I honestly respect. The third one told me I was imagining it.

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    I first experienced this about a month after developing tinnitus in my right ear. At the time, it was mostly intermittent, occurring after car rides, loud events, or at night. It felt like an 80 kHz drone moving back and forth in my head, eventually fading out like the idle of a distant car...

    I do this myself. How trivial those things really were. T gives you a completely different perspective on things.

    Well it seems that I recovered some, but not back to where I was prior... I never thought I would find myself wishing for my old T back. I always wondered how I would be able to deal with worse... I guess I am finding out... You just do, because there is no choice. Still hoping it improves with...

    Feb 3rd Texas Roadhouse is donating all profits for Dine In and Out orders to the ATA. I told my wife this, and she said... What is the ATA?... I am thinking where have you been the last almost 2 years. :banghead:

    When I got tinnitus I didn't even know what it was. Now it alters everything in my life. Awareness is lacking!

    Sadly I knew I would be back here some day. That it would get worse eventually, but I hoped it wouldn't. A simple thing I thought, a middle school orchestra concert, it shouldn't be to bad, and it wasn't until 4 days later. I still don't know if this is a spike or the new normal. Somewhat milder...

    Well a positive if there is one to pull from this... The distortion or sound when I speak has gone away about 95%. T is still more reactive and piercing than before and its been humming in silence like crazy (that is an ongoing off and on thing), hopefully that's temporary as well... only time...
