Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

@BellaMia, did you check out your TMJ more thoroughly as a possible cause of your tinnitus? Did you see side by side imaging of your left and right TMJ? It could be ETD caused by TMJ irritation.

Is it just a coincidence that you get tinnitus and this happens? I hope it gets easier for you.

Even though you have endured a lot you have always kept a kind spirit about you. Rarely complain. Always positive. Always taking the time to offer words of encouragement. Don't change a thing and I think you will be okay. How the hell all this shit happens to some people is just insane.

It is a challenge for sure, but eventually you'll cope better with it and as a result youll feel better about dating. I know it sounds crazy but youll deal with the t better in time.

Honestly, would you date someone who had the same T as you?

@just1morething I'm going to see if the mouth guard works. My appointment for the mold is next week.

@4Grace That was really sweet of you thank you! I try to stay positive and hopeful because being negative doesn't solve anything. I still have my moments though. However I know only time can heal.

@Stayinghopeful It's gotten better in time but still annoys me. Dating will be a different world but not impossible. That's a long way aways though. How long have you had T? What caused yours?

@Jupiterman Yeah, my family members have T. My life isn't really altered by this condition (thank God) besides me getting annoyed at times. I have very mild hyperacusis and the noise has gotten less intense. I'm very thankful for that but I still have those moments where I'm just sick of hearing it. I know time will help and a year isn't anything when it comes to T.

@Stayinghopeful as long as her hyperacusis doesn't get worse. @BellaMia make sure you protect your ears as much as possible. I was getting so much better then the hyperacusis got worse. And then Noxacusis!
