Right?! I work with someone who took Accutane in his youth... he doesn't have T but can't hear things I can hear?!?! Hope your ear pain subsides.

My ears were really beginning to burn and sting with the softest of sounds. I am sensitive to sounds. No question a bit of N. The N or H can make T seem like nothing. Good news is that my T is blasting like never before but I can sleep. I miss going out with friends and family.

@Tryn2BHopeful Accutane is so bad. I think I would rather have hearing loss than tinnitus, to be honest. =|

@4Grace my left has been getting hot inside lately. I am so sorry you're dealing with H. My H is very mild compared to many here, but my T is 7/10 at least.

@SarahMLFlemmer - hello - sorry to hear too. my T is at least a 9. Honest to God. It bothers me but not as much as what I can no longer do. It's reactive. Worried that h will get worse too. My T Is blasting but it bothers me less. So if your constant with T I'm confident you can get use to it. It's the darn pain and reactivity and getting worse that bothers me now.

@SarahMLFlemmer - I have said F it so many times. Trying to live 1/2 a life. I'm worried as to how true it is that I should be staying in before it gets impossible. Feel like I'm going to keep doing until it's so bad I can no longer continue. My anxiety is down 80 percent I honestly don't know why. I am alone most of the time now. I was always super social.

@SarahMLFlemmer - sorry as always for the rant. People don't give a shit to keep it down a little. My family is upset. I feel sorry for them too but what can I do. This condition is invisible. Anyon who is non reactive - constant steady T no H no N they will be okay. Locking up in a room is a no can do for me.

@4Grace that sounds awful. I deal with the pressure, awful ringing, jaw pain, ear pain, migraines now. I don't have to hide out though, so that sounds so isolating. =(
