    Do You Remember Your Last Day of Silence?

    I've never been a noisy person, and for that, I also am an introvert. At 24 I tried to change my life a little, and have a year of doing things I wouldn't normally do hoping I'd be happier. I always cherished silence. One night I went out with friends, pushed through and stayed out every time I...

    1) How Old Are You? 2) Are You Able to Function with Your Tinnitus?

    After 1.5 years with tinnitus, I moved into the life goes on camp. Unfortunately, life is really fucking loud so my tinnitus is three times as worse as when it started and this shit really sucks.

    1) How Old Are You? 2) Are You Able to Function with Your Tinnitus?

    I'm 26, and the above is 100% how it's going for me as well but I would rate my loudness a 2/10 (it's so subjective though). I'm pretty much a recluse and it seems nearly impossible to find quiet places to be outside of my home or a friend's home and it's hard to keep friends when I can never do...

    How does your hyperacusis feel while teaching? I'm supposed to teach a seminar in a few weeks but considering pulling out. Im worried projecting my voice to a large audience will somehow hurt my ears.

    Poll: Did Your MRI Find Anything Clinically Significant? Or Did You Have a CT Scan Instead?

    In my case, MRI didn't show any abnormalities. It did make my tinnitus significantly and permanently worse. Because of how loud they are, I did not get it for tinnitus. I only went for the MRI once I began having paresthesia in my hands and feet. Thankfully the paresthesia eventually stopped...

    Be Honest. Do You Still Enjoy Life?

    Yes, since getting tinnitus, I have noticed that my ears are super sensitive to cold, like I can feel the cold all the way in my eardrum in a way I never have before. Which is weird because my mom who has some hearing loss, but no tinnitus, has always said she can't stand cold because it makes...

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    NAC made my tinnitus worse. 3-4 new tones. Just to add another personal anecdote. After reading this thread, several others, and summaries of every medical study re NAC that I could find I decided to take 600 mg. I was a little worried because I saw maybe two accounts of it making people's...

    Be Honest. Do You Still Enjoy Life?

    @CW Dragon, have you tried skiing again yet? I haven't been in years but I've been wanting to go. I'm too afraid there's some giant loud noise involved that I've somehow forgotten about or discounted pre-tinnitus.

    Police Officer or Park Ranger — Career in Law Enforcement with Pre-Existing Tinnitus?

    It looks like you've decided against it but just in case others had the same question I would definitely say to look for another career. I wanted to be an FBI agent but decided against it for similar reasons. I used to go shooting with double protection pre-tinnitus and it was very loud, I would...
