Sick as a dog & my ears are blaring. Why is T like this? As if I wasn't miserable enough already! Thanks T :')
Idk if it has improved I feel I lost like at least 20% of my hearing ability. And I can only blame myself for this one. :/
The new baseline includes burning ears all day. What's next?
Was filling papers for green card replacement and it says the cost is 700 dollars.What the hell. Looks like I'm permanently illegal now lmao
I lost my green card and I don't have any other documents at all. Thank god that one pharmacy chain in Texas that doesn't ask for ID lol
Flying sucks. I have some kind of eutachian tube issues and my right ear stays clogged for a day after. No help from earplugs (for flying)
Had to escape the waiting room of the ophthalmologist.
I went to my second concert after my tinnitus started. And I loved it. I stayed far away from speakers and used ear protection.
2/2 I've never had spikes, mine have always been permanent increases. How do you know if it's a spike? How long do yours last?
1/2 I think I'm having a tinnitus spike? A tone I haven't heard for a long time is back and pretty obnoxious. Sounds like a tornado siren.
Music production and tinnitus/hearing loss don't mix so well. No pun intended.
That's what I get for being stupid I guess. I never seem to learn. Wishing for better days right now...
Dont make my mistake. I hope I didnt absolutely wreck my hearing like the first time again. This is not fun. Sounds are all muffled again :/

My T is as loud as ever, but the main obstacle to habituation was the reactivity, and that's gone now.
I have basically no hyperacusis symptoms anymore.
As if the spike wasn't challenging enough, here comes the first sickness from going back to work in a school ;( Sending T even more haywire.
Based on my memory of that, I can relate to them, but they can no longer relate to me, now that T and H have fundamentally changed my life.
At this point, I feel like I have nothing in common with healthy people, other than a memory of what it was like to be healthy.
I'm tempted to be honest and say, "I have done nothing in the past 24 months except try to get well." But that would make them sad.
nothing to say. Like, they have no freaking idea how T and H will impact every aspect of your existence: hobbies, jobs, social life.
I tell them about my incurable ear problems, and then when they say, "What else is going on?", I feel even worse because I have
Does anyone else find it triggering to catch up with old friends who have yet to hear about your T or H? I feel like a Debbie Downer when
Playing Metal Gear Rising with sound on, now. 2022 me could *never*.
Pff.. neighboors annoying sounds at night... doesn't help for a relaxing night's rest. I wish i could live somewhere more quiet
Sure, why would I be part of the lucky majority? I often forget that I came to this world just to suffer.
