    Never Thought I'd Find Myself Here, But Hello!

    It might sound crazy when I say this but the only way to recover is to let it go and accept it. I got a similar damage about 11 months ago and I freaked out and though my life was ruined. I couldn't figure out how I could live with the tinnitus. First 3 months was the worst, I tried to look...
