Pinhead May 28, 2024 Every noise is causing my ears to feel full. Footsteps, water, even talking, all accompanied by a new shrill shriek that I've never had.

Pinhead May 28, 2024 Went to a wedding with my girlfriend Saturday. I will regret it for the rest of my life. Hearing is muffled and tinnitus is very reactive.

Pinhead May 25, 2024 It's like a permanent state of psychosis... I can't tell what auditory stimulus is real anymore. Reality is lost. I'm gone.

Pinhead May 22, 2024 The worst part of living now is waking up. Walking outside, hearing my ears scream as a car drives by. They scream as I ride in the car.

Pinhead May 15, 2024 Almost told my Lyft driver to pull over and drop me off on the highway. The tires on the road just make my ringing unbearable.

Pinhead May 15, 2024 Reaching the end. I can hear it in the shower now. There is no peace for me now.
Pinhead May 13, 2024 My office mate just had temporary tinnitus in both ears as we sat together. I looked him in the eyes and said, "Now imagine that...forever."

Pinhead May 13, 2024 Hopefully this is just a spike. I can't sleep. I can't hear the TV. I have to blast cover noise at 85db to drown it out. Help.

Pinhead May 7, 2024 I seem to have more SBUTTs when I eat better, take vitamins, and exercise. What the hell!?!?

Cata May 5, 2024 Hi, I'm taking the liberty of writing to you here. I saw one of your posts where you said you had no trouble sleeping. Do you have loud tinnitus with horrible tones? How does your brain manage to ignore this and get a good night's sleep???

Pinhead May 4, 2024 A friend came to visit today and his laugh peaked at over 100 decibels multiple times. I'm fucked. I'll have hyperacusis by tomorrow.

Pinhead May 2, 2024 I'm blown away by how my brain can push most noise to the background, seemingly in FAVOR of concentrating on my tinnitus instead. What? Why?

Pinhead Apr 25, 2024 The fluctuating squeal in my right ear is really the worst thing. It's just unbearable. I can totally ignore the pure tones.
