I'm so happy for you! I rarely check this forum anymore, as my story is very similar to yours. I never posted my recovery story, although I might. Some months ago a story like this would have helped me to feel a bit more calm. And now, I still appreciate it, nevertheless, so thanks ☺️

Last night I went to my first party not only since T onset, but also since Covid. I had a lot of fun! I wore musician ear plugs.

Here's another infantile or gullible user :p Of course not all therapies work for everybody, but calling names is definitely not good. CBT alone helped me but it was not totally effective, I needed an SSRI and other type of psychological therapies to combine it with. In other words, CBT is one...

Since I got tinnitus, I also started to notice how often authors use this expression, mostly when characters are anxious. So far only one book mentioned that a character actually had tinnitus, and oh what a surprise... The author has it too.

It can also get better. Going the route of the negative what-ifs won't help you. We have risks of bad things happening all the time, in regards of anything, but you can't go living in fear and avoiding things all the time. It's good to take precautions and know your limitations, of course, but...

You are also strong. Most of us had or still have those thoughts. In my opinion, the difference comes when you challenge them, when you don't listen to them. For that there are many techniques.

Hopefully @PDodge will reply to you, but what I have seen in many stories of habituation is that it comes in stages and you have setbacks. Probably they weren't suffering everyday during those 4 years, they had good days and other days were not so good, until approximately 4 years later their...

Great question, and if @linearb still had them when he was part of the trial, I would like to know if the device had some effect on his eye sight (it would be a dream come true if the device not only helped tinnitus but also visual snow syndrome symptoms).

I'm Argentine, I moved to Dublin six and a half years ago. I want to visit Glendalough, yeah, but it's hard to get there as I don't drive.

Hi! I read some of your posts about visual snow and you seemed very positive about it improving with time, which I think it's the best attitude. I just wonder how are you today? I hope your VS is gone, or that at least you can ignore it easily.

I live in Dublin, but I'm not Irish, I'm one of the many expats living here. I haven't visited much of Wicklow yet, just Bray and Greystones (very pretty walk!). Btw, here we can use Borrowbox for free to listen to audiobooks, it's very good.

I listen to them on speaker using my phone. If the quality of your phone's speaker is not good for, you there are better speakers you can connect your phone to.

I think this woman has a great attitude towards life. I think of her very often when I'm down about my tinnitus and visual snow (she's deaf blind, and yet keeps enjoying life!).

I don't know if audiobooks would be an option for you (depends on the type of your tinnitus), but in my case I have been enjoying them a lot more than actual reading lately. While I listen to them, I do arts and crafts, or just relax before going to sleep. Maybe you could give them a go.

I'm very curious about your profile picture, did you take that photo? I think it looks very aesthetically pleasing ☺️
