Karolina

Isn't that the truth, and I feel bad for you and anyone else that has to deal with this crap in their 20's.

Yeah. Waking up and thinking "So, this is it?" Every day is just unbearable and numbing.

In your 20’s … wow.

Ooooh hang on to that! If something changes for the better, it means things can change!

@Karolina Do you have ttts? or jaw/neck issues?

@GG_Ear I do have TTTS and TMJ problems/TMJD. My neck also worsened a lot from sitting with earmuffs on all day

I'm stopping this med. I hope it goes back to baseline soon. This is unbearable

Bad news :( so sorry.

I tried Amitriptylin recently for 2 weeks and it made t worse, but it got better again after i stopped

Wyoming is looking good rn. But a year ago I wanted to live in Manhattan... crazy how things change in matter of several months

I want a little house on a prairie

❤️

hope you get better

I won't. I'm so fucked.

Even with your window closed?

Yes

Yep, I sadly think so.

That is how it feels for sure

@Karolina I can turn it into a contest and win...
I took meds I didnt even need and now my life is over.

Beat me. I did some stupid work without protection I did not need to be doing at all.

Do you have Noxacusis?

@Thizzle I cannot listen to any digital audio, no I don't watch tv or videos on phone with sound, my reactive t would go crazy

@Utdmad89 probably not, only loudness h

The world finds annoying ways to kill us. Drops a nuke on us. Sends diseases our way. Accidents. Gives us tinnitus so we do the job ourselves..

I would argue the last being the most cruel.

I’m losing hope by the day

Do you have hypercausis? If not or it's mild, please keep it that way. once it's catastrophic, life is basically over

Yes I do, everything seems way too loud thankfully I haven’t noticed any pain yet. I have distortions too where audio voices and noises sound off and I have ttts too like wtf

Have you found ways to distract yourself during the day?

I think that’s why I’m also having problems

What was the cause of your tinnitus

Most likely noise induced

That's sad to read :( i symphatize. I find it so harsh how the situation has become. I don't know what to say, trying to go day to day, hope for a better day

I can't do any of that anymore and I only have T. The T is as loud as a vacuum cleaner though, and moving around only makes it worse. I no longer have baths, walk my dogs, or pretty much do anything.

I'm sorry.. how about foam earplugs?

I will wear peltors and foam earplugs of course, but I'm afraid it won't help much, my loudness h is terrible. My window is still not soundproofed :((

Update, the thunderstorm did not reach my area again thank god

Great to hear that 2 tones are gone! Loudness H can get better. Please don't give up!

That’s great What kind of tones were they like pure tones or just a new sound?

Idk i got them at the beginning of may, one tone was quite unbearable, like a weird beeping horror melody
I still have 13-14 tones lol

I hope you get some relief soon, reactive tinnitus is terrible.

Do you have any sound distortions

I have a lot of bad symptoms too, I have T, pretty bad sound sensitivity , distortions and TTTS I think, you’re not alone. :( I’m only a month and a half in

Yes i have sound distortions too

the thunderstorm did not reach my area, luckily

I am truly sorry. You are not alone. I relate to everything you say. My reactivity to sounds could not be worse.

I can’t believe you are 23. You should have a good chance for this to get better for you. Your age is on your side for healing.

Was your room soundproofed?

@Pinhead it will be on monday

It's not your fault.. trying to go easy on ourselves.. uff what a nightmare it has been... going day by day.. breathe & trying to find some untense somehow... may it get better please

I remember hearing about the CEO of Texas Roadhouse killing himself because of tinnitus and thinking, "What a nightmare!" Six months later, I began to understand.

@Pinhead, I did the same. A Bit longer though

Truer words have never been spoken. We knew it was heaven before this happened. Now some way that feeling is magnified. How I feel this !! I now see all hardships as blessing minus reactive T with H and N!
