At the moment my ears are really naughty and can honestly say impacting on my mood....
I have a high hiss in both ears like a gas oven on full and along with a loud Hoover sound in both ears at the same time.
Duel purpose hearing aids and also my maskers don't seem to be helping!
Sleeping is hard as the high pitch hiss is keeping me awake and sounds like someone is hovering up in my bedroom as I'm trying to sleep.
I totally understand how you all suffer with tinnitus as I have lived with it for over 12 years.
For me though it's down to a ear Disease called Menieres.
I don't get a lot of support at home as they don't understand but I stay positive with the knowledge I have and the support group I run with another lady and the forums I support also.
You have to have tinnitus to really understand just how bad tinnitus can get but at the same time try really hard not to dwell on the down and bad times and grasp all the good times with both hands and notice the nice things in life and the natural sounds around us most people don't give them a second thought.
I break up from work tomorrow for two weeks Easter break from school and I'm planning a few nice things to do but at the moment it's hard but putting in the extra effort I'm sure as got to be a good thing.
One thing is I will be staying over in Manchester for a night with the hubs to see Bat out of Hell the musical at the theatre and my plugs will be with me if the sound gets to much and also taking my little grandson for a train ride to Stafford park and dinner out and a few shops !
You see life does go on as it should even with naughty ears out to get you but you have to build on nice times and show your ears who's the boss.
It's ok to have down times and sorry to say a tearful day for me too....but onwards and upwards follows a down time and looking forward to what you plan...lots of love to you all...glynis x
