100 years from now (when tinnitus will be cured with some over-the-counter med) people will look back and wonder how people could ever manage to live with T during our era.

Happy (USA) Thanksgiving, TT community! Learned from my dad today he has had tinnitus for several years and his got worse from Covid. Sure would have been nice to know from him several years ago 
. Nice to have a family member who knows what it's like, though.

A spine doctor that fused my back mentioned using DMSO for my tinnitus. It is liquid and I put some by my ear/ jaw area with a pad.
I had one great day and seemed back to normal only to turn noisy again. No easy fix. I might try Cymbalta but hate side effects.
it's best to lie down in a coffin
Starting the T recovery journey once again. It never feels easy.
Hello Furetto,
I'm feeling a little better, although I still have a lot of ups and downs and I still hear my tinnitus a lot and it often bothers me. However, I have started my professional reintegration and have also started treatment with Dr Hubbard. I have also joined another forum in the meantime. That's why you haven't seen me here for many weeks. Regardless, I have always found contact with you nice and helpful!

Man. It's just exhausting. It always seems to be: worry/stress about other stuff + this condition. The fucking cherry on top.
Wax removal again, similar to last year, some distortions to sound and sound sensitivity. definitely Not half as bad. Two different techniques used.
Was doing really great the last six months or so. Just had somebody scream in my ear (full volume) over the weekend. So my ears are ringing pretty loud again. Pretty frustrating to have this condition.
Quite a rowdy day, was around a lot of noise unfortunately, very close to some loud construction site. I had earplugs but yeah, constantly having to adjust them so they sit correctly is definitely a problem... Kind of debating if I should go back to the simple foam ones, at least they stay in my ears.
One year with T and H with zero improvements. At least no significant worsenings. Maybe some day I will be able to open semi plastic packaging again
Yesterday was my first year anniversary of my T. November 30th is anniversary of my H after the doctor visit lol
Checking in, still active.
Wedding receptions are not chill! Not even a little. Wow... I think I'll wait in the car.
I took this year's flu and Covid boosters on Thursday afternoon. My tinnitus was spiked a bit Thursday night and Friday, but today (Saturday) it is back to my baseline. I'm grateful for health care that protects me from getting seriously ill from viruses!
Something simple like buying a new pair of shoes now has become a real challenge. Not sure if I won't to visit a shop.
Because T is on the edge of the damaged frequenties (possible interaction inner and outer HC's?) my hope is eventually T will reduce because more HC's die due to aging. Maybe I'm at peak T. At least I still have hope.
How does one live without hope?
ENT said to me it isnt a surprise I havent heard in few weeks because I had so much fluid in ear and eutachian tube issues. The fluid was removed with myringotomy, now from other ear.
After 11 months of Tinnitus today I won a game. I was silent for almost an hour. The fight continued.
Hey buddy - I had my appointment with Dr. Stefane Maison at Mass Eye and Ear and signed paperwork to join a future trial for CIL001 if it becomes available. Dr. Maison mentioned hidden hearing loss or cochlear synaptopathy as possible causes of my tinnitus and hyperacusis. Their auditory research lab is top-notch, and I hope they keep getting funding to advance their work in this noisy world.
