Moving out of my noisy apartment to a quiet neighbourhood. No noise exposures 24/7 = good. No constant noise though also = less masking

I'm just really fighting against wearing earplugs everywhere because man... I just wanna live my normal life again yknow :/ get fked T+H
Loud kids screaming on the bus, my ears were hurting so much Feels like someone probing my inner ear with a blunt scalpel when it happens
Give up and live my life the exact same way I did before or stay paranoid and hyper vigilant that this all could get worse. Dunno anymore
When things are too loud its like they sound distorted coming off a pair of shitty speakers. Muffled. Like a recording that's peaking, lol
I think it's pretty impossible to let my ears heal completely when I live right in the middle of a busy city with constant noise exposures..
Just prioritizing feeling OK in the end of it all even if I'm hearing it. Sucks having to run away from sirens in public like a cat tho HA
3 month mark. I'm coping much better than I was the first month and thank God for that! Never felt so hopeless and dire before than then
Not really holding out for treatments as much as habituation for my T cuz I probably can't afford them when they come out anyway LOL
"How's the ringing in your ears?" Still the same as the last time you asked that fucking stupid question. The same. Stop asking it. PLEASE !
Finding hyperacusis far more annoying to navigate than T now. Sucks that loud noises just.. hurt No rhyme or reason. Some do, some dont.
I know it's hard, but keep holding on. Please. I want everyone I see on here to have a happy today & future. One day it could happen.
The distortion, pressure + tingling I get in my ears when trucks & buses drive past is really uncomfortable
Thinking that years before taking different SSRI/SNRI's contributed to me getting T. Maybe my auditory system was damaged from the get go :/
The ppl I've talked to that didn't know wearing earplugs to concerts was even necessary! Blows my mind about hearing awareness here in Aus
Loud AF smoke alarm went off in my friends house cuz we lit a joint :/ Ears were aching after No particularly noticeable spike. But ouch
Do you find that nicotine spikes or quiets your tinnitus? It's the latter for me which is unusual from testimonies I've seen ?
Sending everyone strength for today and tomorrow. \m/
Idk if volume reduct or start of habituation at this point. Either way, I am grateful. I wish this + H/N didn't exist for anyone though.
Life is moulding into its new normal. I know I'm going to be okay in the end. It's been a crazy 2 months of wrapping my head around it!
I'm in objectively quieter rooms out and about than my 50db< city apartment, yet it only blares tenfold when I'm home. Makes no sense to me!
I'm learning how to work with my T. Trying to stitch together my new normal with this. Habituation is my goal.
Hearing a lower sort of mechanical whirring noise in my left ear. It's weird the new tones that this condition can throw at you randomly.
I think about all the people I saw at shows that never wear earplugs. I wanna grab them by their shoulders and tell them it's not worth it.
Non-ototoxic antibiotic as a replacement. No gaslighting about overreacting. Took my tinnitus as a serious matter. Refreshing to hear.(2)
Told my doctor about wanting to stop doxycycline as it's ototoxic and that I have tinnitus - listened to me straight away and gave me a (1)
I am really starting to think that me getting COVID at the same time of noise exposure was some evil combo that gave me this
And the ability to relax after a long day is essential for me. So life is semi back to my normal Stoner activities in that regard? Lol /2
I've started regularly smoking bud again & just toughening through the T spikes from it. Bc the constant anxiety + restlessness is torture/1
Having OCD when you have tinnitus is some cruel joke. Constant noise = constant attention = constant obsession = constant rumination. Ugh
