    I Think This Is a Spike

    Thanks for the advice..:) how would I be able to tell if they were inflamed? I'm going to the Dr on Wednesday so I guess I could ask then? I know what you mean about small venues..I like them but some places just have no idea how to set up sound equipment properly and there's just nowhere for...

    Careers With Tinnitus

    Who did you go and see? Did you enjoy it? try and take the positives (if you can, I know it's hard) I know exactly what you mean..I had H at the start too. It should settle, it's just lots of adjusting. Good luck with the job application..fingers crossed you'll get an interview :D

    Careers With Tinnitus

    I have no idea...could be a number of things, including stress, so I'm just going to pop to the Dr and check it's not an ear infection. What caused your T?

    Careers With Tinnitus

    No, not really since I got used to things...it takes a while. in fact I went to see Against Me! in November and I had no ill effects what so ever, just had a fantastic night. I think I got it from loud noise exposure. I was worried too when I first got T, It was about a year before I went to a...

Mine sounds like standing next to...

    Careers With Tinnitus

    Hello Firstly, I would say don't panic. Tinnitus shouldn't stop you achieving in life, although yes, there will be stressful times and sometimes Tinnitus will react to that...coping strategies are great, making time to relax (I find Yoga helpful). Since getting Tinnitus I went to University ...

    I Think This Is a Spike

    Hi, Thanks very much for reply. Yes, you're right I don't avoid them, I am very careful though. When I first got T, I used to think I had to use ear plugs to dry my hair! Which I don't anymore. I've had so many wonderful times since, going to gigs and events that if you enjoy that too, I would...

    I Think This Is a Spike

    Hello Firstly I should say that having had Tinnitus since 2009, I actually never thought I would need to visit a support forum again. I was advised by the ENT I saw at the time that they were generally not the most positive environments and so I gradually stopped and I would say I habituated...
