I was going to go back to uni this year + get some life stuff figured out/started... truly cruel. All I can hope is that we get a cure/treatment soon. I'm still young enough to have a life after, but I'd rather get it sooner than later.
Tinnitus Talk Support Forum
I can relate. Spent my youth studying in a field which caused me nothing but struggle and when I started to see the light at the end of the tunnel, tinnitus came. I don't even know if I can finish my studies. Universe has a weird and cruel sense of humor.
@ASilverLight I'm really sorry to hear that. Yes, I hope so too. If there is a cure by the 2030's I'll be happy.
@Kriszti That really sucks, I'm sorry. It's so difficult studying with T. I'm finding it difficult finishing my dissertation. I hope you manage to pull through.

In about 2-3 years you will likely stop being so sensitive to noises. Hopefully if you take a break for 2 years before looking for a job that won't have a negative impact on your ability to get hired.
@Lucifer That's awful :( do you still work? Thinking that I may have to get a quiet office job until things improve/a cure comes about.
@Bill Bauer Thanks Bill. I hope you're right. The H has improved since I first developed it, but not to the extent where I'd feel comfortable teaching six hours a day.

@Charburchar Can you offer one‐on-one lessons, until your ears are less sensitive?
Have the same problem (without H though). Had to quit teaching when severe T took a hold on me. Maybe in a few years we can all fulfil our hopes and dreams with regen. medicine like @Lucifer said
Had to leave my job, too. Life was good. Shitty ears.
@Tweedleman for real tho. A year ago my life was looking up more than it ever had. Fun job and I was able to be promoted soon, finally found a social circle that liked me, figured out some pretty important personal things, was looking into college again, new hobbies.... and that's when misfortune strikes, obviously. I really hope all of us will get cured, or at least see significant reductions, within 10 years.
T and H improve even for most older people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. People in their 20s are probably a lot more resilient.
