Scared — Husband's Tinnitus

[Red]

I'm glad that I never pursued the route of becoming disabled: the last thing I needed when my T started was to sit at home, listen to it, and stew over my incredible misfortune. That would have driven my T up to 10 and I'd be dead now. Please don't seek a disability election for T, because it could make things much worse when your whole life (including your source of income) gets to revolve around the T. Because the T will take over, it's an incredibly powerful "feature" of our auditory cortex -- don't let it win.

He doesn't need to retire but @Digit_dad REALLY needs to at least get a new job. Surely with his long work history and credentials he could find some place in tech who would need him. Maybe he might not get all the benefits and pay of his old job but pulling in income coupled with lower T would probably help out quality of life.
