Dear all, I need to go through a medical examination that's necessary - a sigmoidoscopy. I am terrified. To get through it, I consider taking a Xanax, aka Alprazolam before. Do you think one Xanax could worsen my tinnitus? Any advice? Thanks so much!- Juliane

Tinnitus from Call Center Jobs -> Stressed Brain from Constant Loud Sounds Projected Directly onto Both Eardrums
Yes, I don’t work in a call center, but my job often involves listening to people talk endlessly about various topics. It’s horrible. After I developed severe tinnitus, I stopped using the headset entirely and haven’t touched it since. I strongly recommend you do the same. All the best, Juliane- Juliane

Nothing crazy, just lunches and coffee basically. But even minor socializing is off limits it seems. I am...- Juliane

That's because it's a new situation every time it worsens. So we cannot really use our past experiences as the shitshow starts all over again. It's a loser's game. The strongest man or woman in this world would not be able to cope, as it's not even about coping.- Juliane

That is an accurate description. There is no "try and see how it goes" with tinnitus. Trying and seeing how something goes (e.g. doing normal things like meeting a friend for lunch) could mean that the rest of my life is ruined. Those are tough odds. It's not a scenario most people have to face...- Juliane

I Developed Noise-Induced Tinnitus After a Festival Despite Using Hearing Protection
I am deeply horrified by your story. The people who did this to you deserve to face justice—life in jail or worse. How many lives have they stolen? Will they face any legal consequences at all? It feels like we should all come together to sue them and hold them accountable for what they’ve...- Juliane

This is not advice, just my personal experience: going part-time at work was the best decision. With tinnitus, there is no "Powering through". Not possible. Full time no longer an option. Not a loss I grieve, I have to obey my limitations. This feels right for me. Not saying it's right for...- Juliane
