Hi @emmalee ,
I wear hearing aids and have no problem people seeing them when I'm out.
I hope they help you too.
Love glynis x

Thank-you for the encouragement, glynis. I will be seeing the Audioligist who is in the same clinic as the ENT specialist. My experience was a positive one, the specialist was very understanding and thorough.

Hi there Emma.
Its been a while since i posted and i was thinking about you and wondered how you were doing.
I've been pretty busy with work and therapy and not much time to be online.
Last i read you were contemplating hearing aids. How did that go for you.
Mý T has been pretty much baseline since my last post so ive been pretty blessed lately.
Anyway peace and courage to you :)

Hi, David, it is so nice hear from you. You are very thoughtful, thanks for thinking about me. :huganimation:

Keeping busy is a good thing, I understand how you haven't got a lot of time to be on-line. Having your T at baseline is wonderful, I hope this keeps up for you.

I am researching hearing aids and learning a lot. My plan is to give it another three months before making a final decision. I am three months into this and hesitant to do anything until I hit the six month mark. Hopefully my T will reduce and the aid may not be necessary. This is a gamble, I realize, but one that I am willing to take. Even though I have hearing loss in the left ear I am still able to function very well, so it is dealing with the T that will help me decide in the end.

Other than all of this I am doing good, David. :)

~ I've learned that no matter how difficult things seem, there is always hope. And I've learned that no matter how powerless we feel or how horrible things seem, we can't give up. We have to keep going. Even when it's scary, even when all of our strength seems gone, we have to keep picking ourselves back up and moving forward, because whatever we're battling in the moment, it will pass, and we will make it through. We've made it this far. We can make it through whatever comes next ~

I am well, David, thanks for asking.:huganimation:

I've had some busier than normal days and this may continue for a while, yet. Unfortunately I am not able to be here on the forum as much as I would like. All is good! Thanks for the prayers and the warm thoughts, David. You are so kind and thoughtful. ❤️

Yesterday was a good day, I still hear my tinnitus but I am able to not think about it 24/7. Today has started out the same, fortunately. It has been three plus months since the onset and I am in a far better place, now.

~ Then, she began to breathe, and to live, and every moment took her to a place where goodbyes were hard to come by. She was in love, but not in love with someone or something, she was in love with her life. And for the first time, everything was inspiring ~

I never underestimate the value of a good day!! I enjoy every second and learned there will always be more in my future.

So glad for you @emmalee !

This is very apparent, fishbone. You are quite the inspiration to myself and many others here. Tinnitus is a very personal struggle, we have to be our own hero......

Everyday we get up(even when we don't want to) and take those small baby steps(to achieve our goals/dreams) makes us heroS. Everyone should be proud of themselves, for enduring the HELL tinnitus can put us through.....

It has been a while since I have visited the forum, life called and I needed to answer.

I logged out when I left, but I forgot to disable my private messaging feature and in doing so I see that I have messages from some of you that went unanswered. I am so sorry if you felt that I was being deliberate in not replying, this is truly not the case.

How heartwarming it is to know that one has been missed. This forum is wonderful, the caring nature of those whom I have befriended humbles me. Thank-you for your concern.


@TracyJS

Tracy, I see that you continue to struggle. Please keep fighting the good fight, you are very brave and you deserve to have your life back. Keep Riley close to you, she needs you and you need her.

~ i think it's brave that you get up
in the morning even if your soul is weary and your bones ache for a rest

i think it's brave that you keep on
living even if you don't know how to
anymore.


i think it's brave that you push away the waves rolling in every day
and you decide to fight.


i know there are days when you
feel like giving up but I think it's brave
that you never do. ~

Hi @emmalee ,
Nice to hear your in a place of acceptance but I know it can be a tough battle.
You have come a long way now and that is lovely to hear.

love glynis

~Silence is just like the color black.

It's meaningful. Strong. Deep.

It does absolutely nothing yet explains everything. You can write pages about it. It's elegant and noble without trying.

All this, and it doesn't even make a sound~

I miss silence

Time to dust off this thread......

One full year with tinnitus, no change at all. It is here to stay, of this I am certain. Life is good, I will not give up or give in......there is still so much life to live.

"I may fall apart but I will never lose the pieces. I will always see the picture that they create, and my hands, bloody cracked, trembling, and tired, will never stop fumbling to put them back together."

I have a similar post to write. Glad to hear you're fighting the good fight.

Yes you do, John.:huganimation:

Had someone told me that I would live a full year of my life with tinnitus, I would not have believed them. I sincerely hope that you are coping and managing to get by on a day to day basis.

If it had not been for people like you and so many others (not to mention this forum, in particular,) this past year may have been much more difficult for me.

I will be forever grateful for the many articles from @Michael Leigh. They helped me to cope and remain positive.

I look forward to reading your one year post, John.
