Well, I'm Committed.

No I can just Hear it absolutely everywhere and I feel like it's too loud.
There's no way it can be low in volume and yet react so loudly. I have a hiss too along with the static. It doesn't behave in anyway close to what you describe. Are you sure it was measured correctly? I feel like it could be louder than what I experience. Mine was measured at 25 a while back but is probably louder now. Still don't hear it most of the time unless it's pretty quiet.

Nope. It's masked by a fizzing soda a meter away in a 30 dB room
 
Yeah that's true. But it's close enough that it pretty much counts.

Now my promises obviously matter a lot to me. I wrote it down so I can't changed it to get out of it. The only two ways out of it are if I ordered a cure, and it arrives in 2021, or if it's announced by a company that it WILL come out sometime that year. Maybe even into next year.

Also, I still have to off myself in the treatment doesn't work on me.
So it's not entirely black and white? You have conditions — such as a cure or successful treatment — that would alter your promise.

That is not unlike what I did, it's just that my conditions were different.
 
I don't think Frequency-tx will help me since I can still hear up to 14,000 hz
My hearing loss is more of a distortion due to nerve fiber damage not hair cell loss. So I'm being delusional thinking Frequency will be my knight in shiny armor.

It's either Affichem, Decible or Otonomy
 
No I don't think so. Mine is a hissing btw. I can hear it absolutely everywhere. If it doesn't get quieter than I'm just going to stop living no matter what. I made a promise so I can't take it back anyways.

From Sep-Jan 14 I had two tones electrical buzzing from transmitters and a electrical sound almost like tv static, i loved these tones because they weren't intrusive. Easily maskable. These tones are gone now.

From Jan-Now I have two tones (new) a high pitched dentist drill and a train stopping abruptly on tracks, so yeah, hard to mask and it makes my head hurt.
 
@threefirefour you have to wait till 2020 I might have to wait much longer for Otonomy's hidden hearing loss product
I think Otonomy is on to something. I need to study them More.

Conditions that are written down. I absolutely refuse to deviate from it in any Way not specified because I don't want to go down the slippery slope of breaking promises this strong. Doing that May make me feel like I can decide not to follow through If i don't want. Even ignoring I'm extremely happy and I didn't have a reduction or no research succeeded, then I still have to do it.

I'm very legalistic in my promises. I'm very reliable, but I don't like grey zones.

I am confused. Can you not hear it over a soda fizzing? That would be amazing for me. I have yet to encounter anything that is louder than my tinnitus, it increases in volume in response to noise. I am always surprised by admonishments to not let tinnitus be covered by white noise. That's not even possible for me. I didn't even realize people could do that.

Or is it that it's such a high pitch that you can hear it over all other frequencies? I can relate to that, too.

Loudness and Intrusiveness is not necessarily related.
 
I hear a TV static, like this eletro fog surrounding my head. Sometimes my right ear eeeeeeeeeeeeeees

It's exactly a 5573hz hissing. I don't know why I can hear it over a 90dB freeway.

Tinker Bell, I used to hear mine when it was mild only in quiet rooms, now i hear it all the time over everything just not the shower. It is loud and intrusive.

I apologize if I asked you this before but do you have any hyperacusis?
or assume reactive tinnitus is hyperacusis?

That's doesn't sound bad at all. I can't even hear the fizzle at this point unless I'm holding the glass. It would be amazing for me to be where you are. Perhaps my hearing would not be so bad then. I think you'll be fine as long as it doesn't get worse.

That doesn't change the fact I can hear it absolutely everywhere. Well everywhere except a room with a soda in it of course.
 
oh god I know the train sound all too well whenever I'm waiting for my train, I hear it and I always think "is that my tinnitus or is the train coming"?

That is what I have. Can you believe that? I been hearing that for the past two days all day long. It wakes me up 4-5 times during the night, not maskable.....
 
Today was an awful tinnitus day. I though about it, and how there's a good chance I won't have it as loud for much longer because of research, but there's also a good chance that nothing happens.

After today I realized that there's is no chance I will live past 2020 if my tinnitus doesn't get better. Today I finally made my strongest kind of promise about you tinnitus. A promise so strong that I've never broken it and oven made it only three times my entire life. I've promised that no matter what, if my tinnitus remains unimproved by January 1st, 2021, then it's going to be my last day. I've be genuinely tried to make it better, and I'm doing everything in my power to make my tinnitus better, but I'm scared that I may only have 2 years left. When you realize how short life can be, it really sucks. I sincerely hope everything's goes well :(

Just curious about why in your profile you say this - "I am God's shitpost"?
 

Not maskable for me either. I hope a reduction helps.
I know we got off to a really bad start after I called you some really horrible shit in a retarded fit of rage. But idk man I barely know you but it makes me really sad to see someone around my age also so fuged up by this disorder. From the posts Ive read written by you, you seem like a really nice/genuine dude and I would be really sad to see you defeated by this bitch ass disorder. BUt in saying that Im not going to give you that long speak that you have probs heard a million times about not killing yourself, because when it comes down to it, you are the one in control and it is your life and you choose what you do with it, not me. Fug idk this probs makes 0 sense, I hope you feel better.

You can't be that precise at measuring a hissing sound. I'm a musician who transcribes as part of my profession and even I can't pin it down to that kind of accuracy. Also with me it depends which sound because I have many.

@threefirefour, it's your life to live so you are free to do as you wish. Although, I don't think you've had it long enough to know how you'll feel in two years let alone five or ten years. Your post is a cry for help which is understandable because T can have an unbelievable affect on us. It's also something I wouldn't necessarily advertise if I really meant it.

My advice, stop focussing on a cure. That's the reason you haven't moved on. In order to move on you need to let go and accept it and then it will slowly bother you less and less. One day you'll realise you don't really care about it anymore. Sure, if the cure does come it will be an added bonus, but not a necessity.
 
Well said Ed209.
And with that information It's time put this thread to bed.

Love glynis
