I really loved my quiet times tho and silence...ive been robbed of that now :'( I really cant cope...im a panicky mess
We all miss it, but have to create a new environment in which live in. Like someone who becomes blind or paralyzed. It isn't easy. I takes time and practice.
I would rather be blind or paralyzed it would be better than this....its too much for me to cope with. I used to be so happy..i cant believe this
If you have no problems with your hearing, your T may settle down and resolve itself. Stress and anxiety is a major culprit.
I can still hear but its always there and it feels like its getting worse...sounds like almost distant sirens now... im so scared i cant even look after my lil girl properly.. i have doctors appointment but im scared they wont believe me
Tinnitus is a well known condition, so doctors are aware of it. The problem is what caused it? There are many ways to get T, so that's why it's hard to treat it. If it sounds like distant sirens, maybe it is starting to abate? Mine sounds like a siren blasting away and inch from my ear!
How do you cope? Arent you getting sicknof just surviving it everyday?how do you sleep? :-(
I sleep with a sound machine and 3mg of time released melatonin and an 1/8 of a mg of Xanax. I survive by keeping busy and being outdoors. It is difficult and not even 1% as good as my life before, but my family & friends keep me going. I love to cook and drink wine, so I prepare meals in my kitchen, with a sound machine and after a few glasses, my T is reasonably low, for few hours.
