Ace Oct 31, 2024 I drive many hours a day for work. For years I was doing it with earplugs in the majority of the day but nowadays I'll drive most of a 12 hour day without them in and it doesn't effect me at all

Ace Oct 25, 2022 T is back to mostly non-intrusive, after blaring full-blast for a week. I had something stressful to get through and now I'm able to relax.

Ace Oct 19, 2022 Anyone else have the ability to make one of their eardrums twitch on command? I can do it with my left eardrum. I have a feeling I shouldn't

Ace Oct 13, 2022 September was great for the most part, only like one bad day and a handful of somewhat-annoying ones regarding T. Best month I had all year.

Ace Aug 18, 2022 This year my T keeps goin back n forth in loudness a few days or weeks at a time. Habituation is hard because it just doesn't seem to settle

Ace Jul 31, 2022 Tfw you sleeping at a friend's place and wonder if you're hearing new aspects of your tinnitus or if it's just sounds their house makes

Ace Jul 28, 2022 It's a lil aggravating how non-linear habituation/reduction is. Yesterday T was mostly quiet! Today it's screamin'. Tomorrow? Who knows!

Ace Jul 26, 2022 Part of my strat is to just sit with it. Put in plugs, face the T directly. Let it suck. Become familiar with it's fluctuations/variations.

Ace Jul 23, 2022 W/ permanent increases or long lasting spikes, going just a few seconds w/o T bothering me is a signal that full habituation is achievable

Ace Jul 22, 2022 I don't like to catastrophize about my tinnitus but I'm having one of those weeks where it makes me depressed and anxious.

Ace Jul 19, 2022 That is to say, I don't hear those tones as well in my left ear. It's subtle in the early 10ks, but once we reach higher up, forget about it

Ace May 3, 2022 Got COVID. oddly enough, for the first few days my T spike came down. Pretty noisy today though. Blew my nose a bunch, ear popping involved.
