Thanks! Right now I’m going to focus on making hybrid learning as effective as I can for my daughter and then I think I’ll explore going back into my old business what was real estate financing. I can make that work and still feel comfortable in my body. Thanks for asking.

I’m finishing up my last 17 days and it’s really brightened up my mood. I just couldn’t continue. Wishing you the best.

Hi All, I’ve posted before how hard it has been with my tinnitus in my teaching job. I finally resigned. 17 days left. Hoping I can find some peace!

Somewhat, yes. Although I have only listened at low volumes lately. I’m generally in a grumpy mood the last 7-8 months because of the ringing so music isn’t giving me what my soul needs right now :confused:

I’ve done some low intensity hiking with my 8 year old over the last few months. I was hoping to get out there on my own this weekend but wasn’t able to pull it off. I’m surrounded by state forests and conservation trails. I’ll report back once I’m able to get out there.

Hi Rich, I stopped running when my tinnitus started this summer. I’m hoping to start again soon. Following this thread for some ideas. Good luck!

Hi all, I do not want to make my tinnitus any worse than it already is. Do you have any recommendations for what types of sounds I should listen to with tinnitus in the 12,000 Hz - 15,000 Hz range? Right now I just fall asleep to pink noise but I feel like it’s not doing me any good... Any...

Hi Steph, could you share which apps you currently use? Right now I have an Alexa that I play pink noise through at night. It’s not perfect but it’s as far as I’ve gotten so far. I do have some really nice Sonos speakers I could use but I haven’t tried yet. Thanks for any info you’ve got!

Please let this be true! Ha.

We need a Percy only thread please.

Teachers representing!

I’m the one that’s not the little person nervous for their 1st day of Kindergarten.

Howdy neighbor!

Amazing.

Don’t hog all the hell!

Hi neighbor. Plymouth here.

Good list. Haven’t read them all but I hope to someday!

Same. Two of my favorite things: music & books... down the crapper! I’ve also always loved audiobooks but I haven’t even wanted to do that lately.

I’d say I’m about the same as everything you said here. Question: I’m new to this as well. I’ve been playing “Pink” noise in the background when I sleep. Do you know if white noise is better for habituation or is it all the same? I’ll switch if need be, I just found the Pink noise a little nicer.

My list: 1. Nothing . . . . A thousand feet of crap . . . . 100. Literally nothing

I’m having an extremely hard time managing my tinnitus in the classroom. I am losing concentration and the energy to be an effective teacher. I am at the point where I am miserable and each day is worse than the last. I have a business degree and pretty close to an M.Ed. 18 years as an Ops...

I’ve never heard that quote. I love it!

Can’t wait to try this!

Yes it will fade! I feel the same way when I go down rabbit holes about how bad some of us feel. I’m having a rough patch with my tinnitus right now as well and I’m trying to be as positive as possible. Wishing you a quick road back to normal!

Hoping you find some relief. After reading quite a bit on here it seems like there is hope. Good luck to you.

Great info! Hoping to “forget” soon!

Hoping this will pass for you. I do find that some days my hearing is way worse than others. The biggest fluctuations are either at night when I lay down or during a quiet time in my classroom. The longer the period of quiet the harder it is for me to hear. I’m sure none of it makes sense but...

Hi! Your story is very similar to mine. I was running a lot and wearing earbuds. Over time I started feeling that little crunching or clicking sound in my ear when I yawned or swallowed. Fast forward a few months and I’ve had non-stop severe tinnitus. I also have anxiety very similar to yours...

Great subject! I’ve always been a fan of everything that Kurt Vonnegut has written. I also love Albert Camus and Bill Bryson. Right now I’m on a biography and auto-biography kick. Reading the words of people like Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, and Frederick Douglass helps give me perspective.

Thank you for this info, Renee. I will look at that. 9 hours sounds like a dream... no pun intended.

Totally agree. Pandemic teaching is its own ballgame.

Hi All, Looking for any teachers out there that might have any tips and tricks for me? My tinnitus is high pitched and in both ears but more pronounced on my left side. I teach high school and of course with masks in I’m having so much trouble hearing my students. I’m honestly considering...

Hi all, I’m so glad a place like this exists. I’m relatively new to this and I really feel like I need to connect. I’m a 39-year-old HS teacher from Massachusetts and I first started getting the ringing this summer. It has been constant ever since and has intensified over the last week to a...
