    @Matt G I’m sorry to hear about the hyperacusis and TTTS! But thats great you’re doing better mentally. I don’t know when my shift mentally was, but I know how much better things are when your mind is finally more accepting of this. And glad the new tone is subsiding! I had a new tone for 3 days...

    Sorry for not being on here in a month @Matt G! That sucks to hear that you’ve had it return, but yes like you said if you got better before you’ll get better again!! That seems to be a common problem with COVID, so maybe the attention that’s brought to tinnitus will make researchers look into...

    @BrOKeN_1 I'm sorry to hear you're in the same boat! And I definitely am. I really appreciate taking showers now because it's one of the few times I don't hear my T, and I feel it makes it somewhat quieter after I get out!

    @Keith Handy it has definitely gone down and gotten better. I can sleep better and the sensitivity is less, so for that I'm extremely thankful. I'm just worried that since it's been here for a year now, I will never truly be rid of this noise and that's a hard pill to swallow at 26.

    I take 5mg occasionally. When T was really bad, it would be almost every night. I don't think it did a thing to help my T, but it did make it easier to fall asleep which was a blessing.

    Thanks :) It's actually been getting louder as the day goes on, which is so annoying. I just wish I knew why mine fluctuates with good day/bad day/good day etc. How have you been? Have your hearing aids come in/are they working?
