Hello,
In all reality I've never been a part of a forum, and never really had the desire to either. But reading people's success stories gave me new light on how this thing effects me.
A little insight on myself, I've recently turned 21, the same week my ringing occurred unfortunately. (Happy birthday to me right?)
I'm a music producer, I've played numerous shows, a gaming nerd, and a Netflix binge kind of guy.
Never really took precautions to my ears honestly cause I never knew the seriousness of it. Recently played a show that no doubt caused my ringing that I'm going through now. Mind you it's only been 4 days and after 2 doctors visits have been told there's nothing in my ears, so they've given me hope that the exposure to the loud music has caused this and that it "should" fade in good time. It's a real hindrance, and an annoyance at that.
But I'd like to thank the people who take the time to write about their stories and how they manage it on a daily basis. My dad actually deals with it himself, and given with that I feel that even if it is permanent... I can live with it as well.
My anxiety surely doesn't help with the thoughts of it, and my job doesn't either. But having a group of people to talk about this with is a relief. Not even a ringing in my ears will stop me from achieving my dreams. Glad to be a part of this!

(Any gamers out there dealing with this too? Or fellow producers?)
