Tinnitus and hyperacusis are a heavy burden on us 24/7. It can be hard for close ones to always be supportive towards us because of their own hardships / not understanding our suffering. I know people around me will get tired if I always complain to them.

Big hug for you. This condition stinks. I've just had a flu and my ears are a mess. People don't understand.
I feel you. None of our closest ones get how debillitating it is. If they had only spent an hour in our shoes..
@Gabriel5050. I've had a tough year. I've had a lot of medical issues and so it's been sort of issue after issue on which I've been perseverative. So I get he's fatigued. I take any of those issues over this.
I think you hit the nail on the head @Forever hopeful. I've had a similar year, just one thing after another.
We are the ones going through it, but the people close to us are impacted heavily and often feel powerless to help. We have to cut them some slack as well. Empathy goes both ways.
Are you seeing any signs of improvement? You are on steroids just now?
