I hope you have a nice time! Your friend sounds very considerate- I'm sure you'll be fine:) it's also good to get out and test to see what your ears can/can't handle in a controlled environment
Pretty sure isotretinoin played a part in my tinnitus. I was on it at the time of my noise trauma, but others were also exposed to the noise and never got t.
Unsure atm, would like to pursue a phd though! Glad to hear your t is easing. Ah habituation is a nightmare isn't it. I hope you continue to improve :)
Hey @Strawberryblonde! On the final stretch.. just need to write my dissertation. Ears are a bit shite but can't complain too much. Thanks for checking in :) How are you?
I'm sorry you're having a bad night @Strawberryblonde :( Fwiw of all the success stories i've read I would surmise that the rate of recovery is higher for those with stress-induced T vs others
@Steph1710 No just my foam plugs. Tbh I forgot how loud the tube was :o a trip on the Jubilee line is what I imagine being dragged to hell by a thousand demon witches sounds like.
@Steph1710 lol!! I bet you looked fab ;)
@MaxRabbit I just want something 'normal' (i.e. not bulky ear defenders) to wear while I'm walking around uni that can easily be taken off/put on. Let me know if you find a good pair of lightweight muffs :)
I have a pair of Senner 20db plugs but I've never been able to get used to the sound of my footsteps when I wear them- that's why i've always used foams! Maybe i'll give them another try :)
Does exercise not exacerbate your pulsatile tinnitus Steph? The last time I got my heart pumping during a mild jog it felt like my head was going to explode!
Ah hope the spike has receded since you posted this aura! I'm going through one myself, hence why I'm on here. My Mum mentioned n-c headphones recently so I just might try them
@Rockman Something to do with the engine's vibration perhaps? I didn't want to take a risk and take the plug out incase it was even louder!
@Safari1999 Weird!
@aura Ah how long have you been using noise cancelling? Did they give you a spike?
Thanks Steph ♡ though I don't think I'll be going on another anytime soon while this spike persists lol. @aura hahaha I like figs! But I like dates more ;)
I don't know why I do it to myself. I get too confident when I'm going through a good period, uh. Yes hopefully this passes. Hope you've both been ok - I haven't been on here much recently xx
