If Your Tinnitus Was Cured, What Would Be the First Thing You Do Afterwards?

[JohnAdams]

I agree with that. Some people that is the church. the church is not the building. they are wrong and in it for the cash.

The reason I watch on Facebook my church and Tommy Bates the one that praches on TV. I know Tommy. I have known him since he preached to me at Youth Camp when I was 14 years of age. He was not on TV then. I have been to his church.

The guitars and micrphones will make my reactive tinnitus even louder. If it was not for God I could not even sleep. My pastor and his wife has tinnitus. Noting bothers their Tinnitus. They sung at Dollywood yesterday.

He tells me come to the church anyways. They make CD's and DVD's. He says press on through. They sing and he praches in a lot of churches across the United States. But I tell him I cannot be around that stuff. His church is so loud.

When he had the building infront of my ants house. We could set across the street and hear every word as if I was on the first row. His mom was asked why do you wear cotton in your ears? she said it is tooo loud and he has tinnitus.

I did not have it then. Nothing bothers his. but it bothers mine. I just can't go to really loud places like that. I watch chruches at home. I cannot play my electric guitars and use my microphones anymore untill God heals me again.

I would certainly welcome a healing miracle from God. Maybe He will return to us soon.

Or God will heal it tommorow. That would be great for you. I will pray and get people to pray for you all to get healed. I will put you on a few prayer list.

If He heals me tomorrow I'll be singing and dancing like this Tommy Bates. I had to look him up, I'm watching him right now.

I have been healed 5 times. Once of a stomach problem that they could do nothing about. God still heals. And Tommy is a good old boy. Honest. And God uses that man.

Naked with a silence induced hard on.

[anlia]

I would probably cry from happiness.

 

[Terminator]

Sit in the quietest space possible and listen to silence.

 

[Christophe_85]

Just enjoy Silence !

 

[linearb]

Basically keep doing exactly what I do now, with a somewhat higher quality of life and less benzos...

 

[GSC]

I'D CRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 AND THEN I'D CRY SOME MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then probably fall asleep to the sound of my cat purring.

the treatments in trials right now are primarily going to treat hearing loss, with tinnitus being a secondary issue, so you're in luck.

What trials?

I still think that the key to treating tinnitus is to improve/repair the hearing loss - so the cochlear 'apparatus' - I don't know what to call it. I wish the hair cell generation was more advanced. I posted a study in which a researcher claims that what is going on with the brain is more crucial than first thought - my words at summarizing - but, I think that the 'brain tricking/manipulation' and anxiety/depression treatment - CBT etc. - it is probably a factor and will help but I think that so many of the more damaging and debilitating T seems to come from acoustic trauma and damage over time and then one incident of acoustic trauma and the T is either started or gets worse.

The unfortunate part, if that theory was correct, I think, is that science doesn't seem to be far advanced for a lot of us - at least, for me, I am horrified at the thought of waiting years for it to be 'ready/here' and I know many have struggled with T for years. But, it seems so impossible for me. I need improvement.

If it was cured, I would be ecstatic and think I'd have 'my life back' but I would be hoping it's a permanent cure and would want to protect my hearing when I think I'd be near loud noise (the kind that would potentially damage hearing). I believe the reaction from everyone would be more or less the same - relief combined with happiness - whatever else is going on in life, a cure would still make a major difference. It's something that's supposedly 'not there' to most people but is perceived to be - that's torture in my book. One that more agencies should be trying to find a cure. People's lives are being ruined or drastically changed from this. Some people can't even tolerate it any longer. There are ailments out there in which people tolerate but T is impacting people and destroying their quality of life - which others can't see. How many conditions are like that?

P.S. I'd finally get a good sleep (hopefully, probably, sleeps plural).

What trials?

Theres a couple companies either in trials or about to start trials for these types of drugs.

Hmmmm.... it just seems most drugs are ototoxic. I hope they work.

 

[Jack Straw]

Just sit in silence for the first time in my life.

 

[Eric N]

Cancel my suicide plans

 

[PortugalTheMan]

I would spend the first 10 minutes crying with joy.

I would spend the next 24 hours in total silence in the dark just enjoying the moment.

Then I would go for a walk in nature and just listen to the birds and all the leaves fluttering in the wind.

Then I would sit down and read a book, or work with all the concentration I lost because of the tinnitus.

I would take a year off and go on vacation, but this sound in the head never gives us a vacation.

 

[Brian P]

Sleep.

 

[Wrfortiscue]

Panic for no reason.

 

[Stacken77]

Rejoice in the astounding beauty of the creation ~

 

[Nathaniel Teposo]

I would definitely cry.

 

[Exit]

I would definitely cry.

I don't think we should push our luck with the crying... it might come back

 

[tpj]

Is it wrong for me to admit that I would love to see an Iron Maiden concert?

 

[Strawberryblonde]

The relief would be lifted off my shoulders immensely and I could sleep in blissful silence once again. Oh and maybe give my favourite songs a blast! They don't quite sound or feel the same on the low volume
