    @Juliane - My God what is happening to us. This is insane. 100 percent due to coke. Sugar. That should come down. Drink water. You have been staying in. I have read more about this in last few days then ever before. If you protect there is still a chance for you. Honest.
    Juliane
    @4Grace You are so kind. I may not have been protecting as much as you think. I watch tv. Go for walks (protected). I honestly have no idea how to behave. I am as lost as anyone
    4Grace
    Thank you but I have not been so kind to my family. I carry that guilt everyday and it's hard to change under this pressure. Going for walks protecting is protecting. Watching TV on low volume is being careful. I am assuming no additional massive noise traumas. If not you are on your way. I really believe that.. just time.
    So so scared. Will not be able to cope with this sound

    If it helps I am locked in my room for the first time. Sound is deafening. I'm pacing all day. Hang on. You have committed to no exposures. If I had did what you did I would have been better by now. You need time. You have what it takes. Much more then I do.

    Thinking of you ❤️ I can honestly feel life energy slipping away
    I drank a lot of Coca-Cola during my sickness as it tends to calm the stomach. Could that be the reason for my new horrible T sound?
    I now have a new T sound! Came after 3 days of stomach flu. What is happening? I can't do this, I just can't. WHY
    All I want is for my tinnitus to go away. It's ALL I care about. Since that is not possible why even bother with anything else

    I know the feeling. I dont want it to be all I care about. There are so many other things I want to care about. It feels impossible to shift my focus for any amount of time.

    I would take my old T level back in an instant! Don't even want silence at this point just something way more manageable that doesn't turn my stomach at the mere sound and actions of it.
    This condition makes me feel like my soul is freezing. If there is no after-life and this is what we have to deal with I feel so cheated...

    I think after this tinnitus experience, I don't ever want to be human again lol. I feel so traumatized. I think about this sometimes and it terrifies that if there is after-life, that this sound will continue to haunt me.

    Anyone else feeling our world is in a really dark place in general or is T making me think so?
    So tired of having to explain to friends why meeting up in larger groups is problematic for me. Honestly they can just f... off
    I think us T and H sufferers are just too sensitive and fragile for this mad and stupid noisy world. I am not built for that shite
    Will self-isolate and hibernate until spring. I'll be a bear.

    I'm just praying for improvement by Christmas, so I can be with family.
    2/2 3-4 hours. Now spiking. Bad decision apparently. Back to being recluse for at least the next 6-7 months. Then I reevaluate.

    I met two friends yesterday evening...although I partly enjoyed myself, today my ear is aching... Such a hard new reality to accept.
    1/2 Accepted invitation to meet with friends for the first time in months to be less of a recluse. Five people around a table talking for

    I could be wrong but sometimes I think it's our determination not to make it worse that makes things worse.

    Hi Juliane, how is your hyperacusis nowadays? P.s. I like your profile picture. Frida Kahlo suffered a lot in her life to health issues. She was a strong woman.
    Juliane
    Hi there. Thanks a lot. I like Frida Kahlo as well and did way before my suffering intensified. I am not as strong as her but she is a great inspiration!
    GG_Ear
    @Juliane Yes I studied art history in college and always admired her work. I also liked the film that was made about her starring Selma Hayek :) ... I hope your suffering ends or lessens with time. The only constant is change.
    Juliane
    @GG_Ear Thank you so much for your kind words
    @Juliane - Hey Juliane. I have been thinking of you. How have you been doing? Has going part time at work helped?
    4Grace
    @Juliane - Thank you. I think it is worsening due to massive stress. Had to move out temporarily. Family is not happy due to believing I am not strong enough. Plus I stay in a some what noisy environment all day. I have been isolating but talking to a lot of people. I am great full for not being on the meds at this moment.
    4Grace
    Meds remove all emotions so they help but then I panic for being on them. Fear they will make things worse in the long run.
    Juliane
    @4Grace I am truly sorry to hear you are suffering so much. I am in a very dark place too atm.

    Honestly loud doesn't really bother me to much anymore that I can tell. Not that I go to concerts or anything. Mostly loud parents at football games. What gets me are fans sometimes, roadnoise and any other broadband sound. Silence can cause the low hum to kick in... so I can't win

    @4Grace Sorry I missed this. No I rarely wear ear plugs. I wear them to mow the grass, and if I go to an event that gets unusually loud. I keep them with me just in case.
    I want a castle in a quiet forest. Furniture there will be soft, cutlery made of velvet. The swimming pool open only to people w H and T
    If stress and emotional trauma (in addition to noise) are linked to our T, could we become better if we became happier?

    @Juliane it was just 2 10mg doses of escitalopram when it started. I took a third thinking it was temporary and then stopped. T ever since. No history of hearing issues or T. My audiogram is actually fine, but I know thats possible even with hearing loss.
    Juliane
    @Tryn2BHopeful That is so horrible. So so sorry. Doctors should be penalized for not warning people about side effects
    Tryn2BHopeful
    @Juliane shit happens... the "doctor" didn't know either. I quote doctor because seeing an actual doctor is near impossible. I saw a Nurse Practitioner who prescribed the meds that potentially changed my life. I could of questioned it but at the time I trusted them and thought it was the path to getting better. I guess I was wrong
