I hope it continues for you. I was having similar progress in December 2024. Since my last setback the "drone" has been terrible, along with the high pitched reactive T. Going past month 3 of that setback and onto year 2 of T. Not to scare you, but all I can say is be careful, its easy to feel...

I never cared for silence, but now I would do anything to experience it again.

@MindOverMatter I certainly pray that comes to fruition. I always appreciate your positivity. Especially when I am having trouble seeing it. Trying to stay strong. Hard day today.

@adpolandam Almost 2 years for me as well... started after a couple doses of Lexapro... Not sure if that was a the catalyst or what, but it doesn't much matter anymore. My daughter is the only one who seems to empathize with me and offer me some support, otherwise I have been on my own like many...

@kingsfan I fear I may keep getting worse as well... I apparently don't know what may cause a permanent increase, I thought I did... Started working a day from home each week because driving on the highway has become more difficult.

I need to stay strong though.... I know I am not the only person going through this, but its a personal battle for us all.

What hurts more and I think is making this harder is that I was almost over that hump. I was have decent days I could handle sounds just fine. I had hope... then I went and did something stupid that I thought would be fine... This condition can be deceiving. I hate the dark thoughts I have...

I definitely feel that. I keep a card my daughter made for me that says "You got this!" On my dresser and read it every morning. It keeps me going

Went to my daughter's xmas orchestra concert. Seemed fine at the time not to loud. Few days later increased T loudness, sensitivity, and distortions. Been terrible since. Rarely have a ok day now.

I am glad to hear this. Be careful and don't become complacent. I did and unfortunately I am back on here. Best of luck to you.

I feel like I am in the same place right now :(. Unfortunately if we want to be in this world we have to keep on going and hope the spike subsides or by some miracle we "habituate" to it again.

I hear you, and I know your right. However its just hard to feel that way. I was so close to getting over the hump... and I screwed up. I am tired, stressed and I just don't know how to find my way back again. I need to stop blaming myself and move forward, easier said than done. As always I...

I do this myself. How trivial those things really were. T gives you a completely different perspective on things.

Tbh I was doing better. Sound tolerance was much improved with less bad days and more ok ones. Went to my daughter's orchestra concert and it seemed ok until a couple days later. Having back and forth days every since along with distortion to loud and sharp sounds in my right ear. I am sad to be...

So sorry! Glad to hear from u.

@Thizzle some... in terms of sounds sensitivity and mental well being. T is still there, still varies, and still drives me crazy sometimes. I wish it were gone or less, but that doesn't seem to be going happen.

I had a "good" run of days. With some terrible ones like today. I do plan to limit my time here.

I will likely try to avoid the site for the most part. It's hard to avoid the negative posts. I am not saying they are not valid, or that I have have not done or will do the same. It's just not helping me right now.

@4Grace I dont much see the point in posting much anymore. Mostly when I have a really bad day. T still sucks, I have had some improvements here or there. It tends to go back and forth.

I am happy for you! I hope you can find peace and leave this place.

Satan.

Humming is intermittent for me. When I have it that does make it go away. No idea what causes it. It's worse after driving on the highway.

I cant sleep and become more anxious. Takes about 3 days. Of course it might just be part of my normal cycle of T.

I am still taking a low dose. 2mg give or take. I don't know if it helps or not at this point, I just cant seem to get to a point where I can get off of it.

I said those words to myself today... but then will turn around and say I can do this. I think I am T bipolar...

I was also told I should be happy I am not deaf with T by an audiologist. Moral is... it can always be worse... but it's also always relative. I hope we all find peace someday.

Ita all relative. A year ago I never imagined I would be suffering with this. I thought diabetes and kidney stones was the worst.

Let me know when you do! Because I am wondering the same thing!

@4Grace Its all good, just venting a little bit. Overall I am doing better than some people and worse than others.

@SumGuy same shit. It's just feels like I am stuck in some nightmare and I can't wakeup.

It gets easier. I can't guarantee it gets better

Haven't found a dB yet I can't hear this shit through, it's either the frequency or the reactivity. Masking doesn't exist for me :(

50 dB rn and it's clear as day lol... I think you will be OK. If it doesn't go completely away you will likely habituate. Try not to focus on it.

Ah sooo this all went pretty well... it was relatively quiet and enjoyable, no spike afterwards. Soo yeah?!

@SumGuy its the nature of T. It can fluctuate for alot of reasons. Stress and sleep can be big factors. Sodium, caffeine, msg... Yours could be related to fluid in your ears so allergies could affect it. Trust me we all understand the feeling all to well. Hang in there.

Take some deep breaths and try to relax. Your T is pretty new and seems to be going in an out. It may be temporary.

Not to jinx it, but it seems like a good sign that you are having moments of silence. No silence here in 10 months! Happy to see someone getting better!

I hope your progress continues.
