At a bowling alley right now for a friend's birthday and the music is blasting. I hate bowling enough as it is

@KoolKat Hi there, I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to ask if you were close friends with Ruben Ruiz?
hey guys its me just spreading awareness to let everyone that sensorieural hearing loss and tinnitus is not being taken and researched seriously
Giving up
is conceding that
things will never get better,
and that is just not true.
Ups and downs are a constant in life,
and I've been belted into that
roller coaster a thousand times.

I just fell on the stairs and hit my head... Just my luck... Hopefully nothing changed and things are normal. I hope
Sudden, very loud tinnitus paralyzes me
You can learn not to hear the ringing in your ears at all. I went from stage 3 to silence. Although formally the noise remained the same. I just don't notice it. Coming soon in "Success Stories"
very bad. aggressive sounds and pain
permanent spike...
today. a year ago today. what happened to my life? it's terrifying
Day 15 of Lenire treatments. 8 kHz T levels mostly unchanged 2L and 5R. Was told this can take 12 weeks to hear improvement.
This is not advice, just my personal experience: going part-time at work was the best decision. With tinnitus, there is no "Powering through". Not possible. Full time no longer an option. Not a loss I grieve, I have to obey my limitations. This feels right for me. Not saying it's right for anyone else but my personal story.
I wish nothing but peace, love and silence for all of us
PLEASE I WANT TO HEAL
I miss my old life so much my heart breaks every second
Note to self. 'Get comfortable this is now your life.'

I'm sure you've read all my posts. I am unsure how to move forward.
Should I open up all my vents even if my reactivity is crazy?I tried opening my window a little bit to let ambient noise in, it helped but then my tinnitus went weird. I feel scared because I cannot even open my window in my condition. Is there still hope for me?

Does your tinnitus worsen with autumn and cold dark season? Mine seems to do
Still experiencing a gradual reduction of tinnitus spikes after using oral minoxidil for almost 5 months. They now happen less often than before and they are never severe like they used to be. The spikes usually go away by the end of the day as well which used to rarely to happen. I think this is actually working.
6mo update: Same as last month
I was using my headphones on a 3% volume for the last 11 months, hearing 92% is very weird and scary lmao. I hope no perma damage was done
I accidentally turned on my headphones to 92% when I was gaming. To my surprise it wasn't painful at all, but I know that even 1 sec is enough to cause permanent damage 
no pain anymore it was probably something else causing that, but the ringing still persists in my left ear. Very loud. :/
So here we go again. Looks like my lows dropped again. Waiting on my ENT. Why can't life stay consistent. Obstacle after obstacle! It really does stink getting older!
