T just can't let you have a Lil fun. I'm having new tires put on the motorcycle Tuesday and wr will see what a bad idea that is. Haha. The weather is nicer and I hate having the bike rot away in a corner of the garage.

Definitely "Raaaaaaaaaagh". I never know how to congratulate someone on these big occasions. So lest just go with FUCK TINNITUS! But seriously. Hope your coping reasonably well. Big Hugs!

I always wonder how musicians such as Ozzy Osbourne, Eric Clapton, Chris Martin, Neil Young, Phil Collins and I'm sure a few others continue to have successful careers in the industry while also dealing with this condition. At what point do you start not giving a f**k?

Gotta find yourself an introvert. Girl who likes to read. Lol

@Tryn2BHopeful I love that for you. I live for my kids! They a great motivator to fight on.

@MindOverMatter @Tryn2BHopeful Thank you for your hopeful comments. Not having a lick of silence since 2020 has been hell. At times I'll feel like I've got this condition managed nicely and then one of these awful spikes can leave you wanting to just throw in the towel. Something has to give. I...

Sorry to hear your spiking. I believe it will settle. If I may? What kind of factory do you work in?

"You Just Do".. I couldn't say it better myself. God knows how we can manage to keep it together with tinnitus that makes onset look laughable. I can only attribute this to time served.. hope your day finds you distracted in more pleasurable activities. :)

Sorry to hear your still homebound my friend. But glad to hear you have gotten a break from the pain. Small improvements are better then none I suppose. Be well.

It's crazy... I don't think I would have made it long in this life if I had it this severe early on. But who knows.

I hope that's the case. Even lower then base line would be great. Lol.

Curious how you gauge it as less intrusive even though it has worsened? When my T worsened and became unmaskable it became incredibly intrusive yet I became subjectively less emotionally reactive.

Long time no see. Hope that mean good things on your end.

Ditto

@cjbhab That has been my experience as well. Short of a miracle or maybe just some dumb luck. Gradual worsening seem like the natural trajectory of my T.

I'm glad you are taking control of what you can control. Its tough working a full time job while juggling this nasty problem. Kinda wish I had that option. Best of luck.

*hugs*

Well enough. Glad to see you pushing through and continuing to live to the best of your ability. Good luck with finalizing your dissertation :)

@2049v Believe it or not you can habituate to even our level. Ideation is extremely common. I use a low dose Prozac to keep my mental health in check. Other then that you just deal with it one day at a time. I can pretty much do what I want now although I avoid venues I know will be loud.

I think how you handle it plays a huge part. I hear mine over almost everything under 80db. I don't even try and mask it anymore.

Be careful out there mate. Best wishes! Happy for you.

Good ol dumb humor. I'm just finishing up the office myself. A good comedy can help lighten the load.

@2049v I totally get that. Considering where you are in your journey. 4 months in with no Sleep and my wife was looking to have me committed. It's hard to say what will happen should you stay in the fight. But I've been here long enough to see major improvements in most people. And others...

Your already getting stronger. It may not be apparent. But it's happening nonetheless. Stay hopeful.

Try and remember you've beat it down once and you can do it agian. Massive spikes are the absolute worst. Praying for you Sis!

Happy Birthday! @PennyCat

Yep.. same here. Probably why the T has gotten gradually louder and more intrusive over the years. I don't have the luxury of just hiding out. Not sure that would even work for me. Stay strong girl.

Wild Orgasms and Heroin! My bad. You said ONE reason. In all seriousness though I hope you catch a break real soon. Much love.

@4Grace agreed. At this point all I really want for you brother in that tldamn pain to go away. Tinnitus is hard enough to cope with by itself. Much Love. Keep fighting my man. Give it all you got.

@kingsfan yea.. its pretty much impossible to mask unless I'm cranking shit up over 80dbs and that doesn't seem reasonable. The only saving grace I have at this point is no hyperacusis or physical pain.

Most here would agree that headphones are almost never a good idea. I personally would use them sparingly and a for short durations if at all.

My Aids literally just became really expensive head phones that may or may not be safe to use. I do like having the white noise option always available.
