It is most of the time. But I also have hyperacusis. My tinnitus is also very high frequency. Its wearing out my brain. It's the first thing I think about when I wake up. I'm just very tired of this. I want to have another baby too but I cant like this. It's also affecting my concentration at work.

the sad part is I knew about it from taking pre-med courses in school.

I had T growing up but it didn't bother me too much. Then a loud sound made my ears ring really loud, it never faded. I never imagined T could be so loud making habituation basically irrelevant.

It's been five years and I'm still sick from it (insomnia, stomach, digestion, concentration, etc...). Tinnitus is largely responsible, this I believe.

I'm also getting old, but before this I was determined to beat old age. I was in the gym 5 a.m. three days a week, working 50-60 hrs a week with non stop weekends. I'm barely a shadow of that now. Guess it could be worse. I just never thought something like tinnitus could take me down.

I will don't think i didn't see all the love and respect MPP showed me in the past i did and i really appreciate it you guys humour,insight,knowledge and hope and advocacy for biological hearing loss cure keeps me going.I think MPP and research section are the best parts of this forum.

I especially have to credit and shoutout @JohnAdams for being such a pioneer and trying different experimental methods of treatment he is inspiring and if any method he tried works he may save a lot of us from unnecessary suffering.Also @Contrast is really incredible intelligent and knows his shit i love how he educates people on hidden hearing loss,cochlear synaptopathy and how outdated tonal audiometry is he also exposed and destroyed scammers praying on innocent tinnitus sufferers and for that he has my full respect.

Unfortunately i have to admit that i didn't post that much in here,because i'm currently in a very bad state mentally i don't want to turn this fun uplifting treath depressing,but severe cochlear synaptopathy really cucked me right now my hearing is so bad the only time i can even function is in quiet 1 on 1 conversation if there is any background noise i struggle extremely.I lost all enjoyment,joy and love for life.Life seems like meaningless and empty struggle ever since i messed up my hearing.I can't enjoy music because it sounds muffled,i can't watch movies because my hearing is distorted and i miss half of the dialogue,i can't play games for the same reason because i was always into story focused dialogue heavy games and i can't hear dialogue now.So what's even the point to keep going if you can't get any enjoyment out of things you used to love?I lost my job,i lost my good looks since i have to be on really heavy anti psychotics and anti depressants and gained a ton of weight i went from completely mentally healthy to having schizotypal personality disorder all in the span of two years since i got this condition.

My family thinks i'm a failure that didn't achieve anything in his life and doesn't respect me anymore even though they don't even try to understand how bad my hearing is and how seriously i'm suffering because i pass the fucking standart outdated hearing test.And worst of all there is no cure or help ENT'S are useless if you have hidden hearing loss no matter how severe it is they treat standart tonal audiogram as the holy grain and don't care about any auditory synapse damage that it doesn't show.

I just have to say I WANT TO DIE I WANT TO DIE I WANT TO DIE,but i don't even have the balls to do that yet i held the knife next to my wrist the other day,but i couldn't bring myself to do it because,deep in my heart i care too much how much my family would suffer especially my mother i love them even though they act so cold towards me.
I just hope Regain(Audion) can get the treatment for hearing loss out in the next 5 years that is my only hope because they are EU funded and if they succeed their treatment will probably spreads to clinics across Europe and be goverment funded.I really cheer for Frequency therapeutics and Otonomy OTO-413 too,but unfortunately even if those succeed my broke ass probably wouldn't be able to afford it.So that's the sad truth about my life and why i am inactive,but to end it on a positive note i love you guys i love this forum and i hope all our struggling and suffering and pain will end and we will be able to enjoy second chance at life thanks to bio medicine,because we really deserve it.

Excellent.

To me, exercise is the best coping mechanism for T. Getting good blood flow throughout the body, makes good sense.

I swim. At first 25 yds and I was out of breath. Now 1.3 miles in an hour, non stop. My goal is two miles in an hour.

@fishbone got me started awhile back.

Thanks fish, hope you are well.

I will try it as soon as someone else here provides a positive and credible review. Spike-timing-dependent plasticity is nothing new (but what do I know). I trust the opinions of you guys more than anyone. I'm mostly hopeful regarding fx322.

Pretty much where I'm at and I have allowed myself some cash to try shit this year. If reviews are good I will get one, anyone in YYC can come over and use it.

Fitness has literally saved my life. I have had a very difficult life and I always turned to fitness to pull me through and still do. Keep pushing harder and achieve more and more buddy!

Are any of y'all in any of the FB T support groups (not TinnitusHub's)? I was in one or two at some point but subsequently left.
What's the cultures there like? I seem to remember they were Jastreboff land, but I don't quite recall, and I'm curious.

does exercise have a effect on your tinnitus?

I use to do muay thai and taekwondoe. Loved it.

I want this. Why can't I have this? Why can't this be me?

My routine is mixed in with 50 minutes of low level to heavy lifting and then 15-25 minutes of treadmill on level 15 (highest level on mountain incline) at close to speed 4(machine goes up to speed 8)

After I finish my gym routine, my tinnitus may still be an A$$ and intrusive, but I have no negative mental energy left to even think about it or get frustrated at it.

Exercise has improved my health, has given me even more confidence. It has given me great sleep (I have had sleep issues for over 2-3 decades).
