MemberWonder how it goes for your typical day if you care to share.
On most days, I will wake up with noticeable but ignorable hissing or low eeeing on left ear. Right ear ringing feels more in the distant and for some reasons it bothers me much less. On good days, that may last until noon or evening until it becomes more in my face and it starts to fill all my head. On bad days, it may last an hour or two or I just wake up with in-my-face ringing. I can't find any correlation to what I do throughout the day. That pattern is quite consistent. Taking a shower, going to work or long driving, like 10+ miles, is like playing russian roulette. More often than not, these activities accelerates worsening of my tinnitus but sometimes they don't. Regardless, in the evening I am almost left with moderate in-my-face ringing, with moments where I feel it is low, only to become loud the next moment like in a few minutes, and then it would kind of alternate between low and moderate.
On good days I can manage some laughs and joy, but these are rare. On bad days, I just wish to be hit by a truck and get it over with painlessly. On most days, I just survive and the only thing I look forward to in the day is the end of the day. I always have trouble falling sleeping and staying asleep even before tinnitus. Tinnitus makes it harder but oddly I still find comfort in sleep. Obviously the next thing is I get off bed and the cycle repeats, and this is my groundhog day.
If only the tinnitus could just stay at the f*king baseline, not even cured, how many of us would be overjoyed and move on to live normal again? How cruel!!!
