@nocticolor sorry you’re spiking but congrats on making it through two years with T! XD

You made me realise my three year T anniversary is very soon!

Sorry to hear that, do you know what’s causing it?

@Wrfortiscue My doctor says maybe it's helicobacter but she’s still going to take a blood sample before ordering a gastroscopy. I think maybe it’s GERD or something. I just had a plain cup of green tea and I immediately feel nauseous ‍♀️

Yeah I have gerd and get nauseated quite a bit, that’s why I was interested lol. Elevate the bed and don’t eat too late may help. I ate late two days ago and woke up with a sore throat and inflamed uvula from the burning

Yup! I absolutely know those days. I thought I was having a spike (before my actual spike) but really it was because I was super stressed and focusing on it more.

@Steph1710 I feel you, I’m about to lose my shit lmfao

I think this time it’s an actual spike though lol. Stress has got my ears ringing!! That and some unnecessary noise trauma - yay!

I’ll take the shitty ones.. they deserve love too

love ur attitude making me smile which is hard nowadays

@valerinaanna Hey! Sorry, bin gerade im Urlaub :D Mir geht es inzwischen ganz in Ordnung, hab tatsächlich das Gefühl, dass mein OG-Geräusch auch besser geworden ist! Feiern war ich seitdem noch nicht (hauptsächlich wegen Corona), aber mit guten Ohrstöpseln würde ich mich davon glaub ich eher nicht anhalten lassen. Muss allerdings dazu sagen, dass mein Tinnitus idiopathisch ist!

Hab mir gerade mal deinen Post durchgelesen. Dieses statische Rauschen das du beschreibst hab ich auch (keine Ahnung woher das kam, war eines Tages im Februar einfach da). War mal für eine Weile besser bzw. fast weg aber kam dann unverändert wieder. Mal kann ich mich besser damit abfinden und mal schlechter...

Ja, mit guten Ohrstöpseln können wir feiern! @nocticolor und @valerinaanna

@nocticolor That's so great to hear! I think from what I've read on here SBUTT episodes are completely normal, and they shouldn't be any cause for concern.

You definitely shouldn't worry about this @nocticolor.

It doesn't matter if it's SBUTT or LBUTT or even DBUTT; ALL BUTT is good in my opinion!

@Damocles Now that’s a mindset I can get behind!

All my friends are upset, and I’m loving it. Haha!

@Steph1710 I probably would’ve rooted for England if it wasn’t for the fans, they sure didn’t have any manners. Feel super bad for the players that are now racially abused on social media, though. Sports fans are a special kind of breed...

@Charburchar Obviously! <3

@nocticolor @Charburchar this has got to happen! But don’t be surprised if I can’t answer any questions. My mind suddenly draws a complete blank. I’m utterly useless at quizzes.

@nocticolor our government is appalling, which is why I’m trying to move to Italy. Germany would be my first pick, but your houses are too expensive. :(

Hope you enjoyed it

@Wrfortiscue I already kept my hopes of it lasting down, but I would’ve enjoyed it even less if I knew what I know now :D

Maybe it will be permanent soon :)

It wasn't Blitz Füssball this time, but I can at least rejoice in the memories from 2014.

I've lived in England all my life and I'm really fucking impressed we're winning haha.

@kuromi I think we're more shocked to have won than the Germans are :P

I was sure we were going out. Although, knowing us we'll beat Germany but go out to Ukraine!

Habe schon alle Prüfungen durch

@Ilias T Hab nächste Woche noch zwei Klausuren, dann bin ich durch. Und im August gehts endlich in den Urlaub!

That sounds like some real good improvement. ;)

What country has no A/C? I think you can buy an A/C in any country. They have portable units and split units available.

@ajc Most buildings here do not have A/C, except for some supermarkets and drugstores. Getting a unit for my home doesn’t change the fact that there’s no A/C at work or at school.

When I lived in Mexico and Turkey neither had air conditioning. I'm not sure how I did it, other than I was younger. :-)

@noticolor so sorry. Hope tomorrow is a better day.

@twa Thank you! I hope you’re doing better today as well <3

@nocticolor, I seem better using Afrin plus an EarPopper
Why does Afrin work so well?
He explains that oxymetazoline (the active Afrin ingredient) actually works by mimicking adrenaline in your nose. It forces your nostrils open by squeezing the blood out of your nasal tissues. When you spray a shot of Afrin nasal spray into your nose, you will feel immediate relief from that awful congestion.

Amazing! I’ve just booked a trip to Rome in October :)

@Diesel It’s such a beautiful city! My friend was concerned it was going to be boring for me because I’ve already been three times, but I love it there!

@Steph1710 Oh, nice! Rome is definitely on my list, too!

This means that eventually your T will be gone for good.

@Bill Bauer One can only hope!

@Keith Handy Thank you, I wish the same for you!

@Bill Bauer You’ve been giving me hope since day one. Whether it’ll ever happen for me or not, it makes it easier for me to stay positive. Thank you!

I try to think of it like weather vs. seasons. Based on the change from one day to the next, you would never know if you were heading towards winter or summer. That's why you have to zoom way out to see if there's a trend.

I've always thought the notifications for how long you're registered here for were a bit morbid, lol.

Ha! Love it! I actually hate clubbing. Never enjoyed it.

@Steph1710 Same! Love drinking and dancing from time to time, just not in some loud, crowded, overpriced club :D

I'm the exact same haha. Never went to a club in my life and now I don't have to! :D

I've had that exact experience with the cicadas in Hawaii! I also had to use masking sounds of cicadas.

Haha! Yeah, funny cause I remember thinking a similar thing when I was in Greece.

same here, its been a week with one of my worst sounds, I really hope it goes away but im starting to lose hope

Angry Birds!!! LOL

Yeah same here but, even with no rain, my tinnitus is much less intrusive on cloudy days. I guess there's some kind of pressure "thing" going on.

How are you doing, overall?

@buttercake If I’m busy or outside I’m doing pretty good, thankfully. My original T from March last year has generally been pretty bearable, other than a few bad days here and there. Now the static I’ve been experiencing since this February I find much more difficult to handle, especially if it gets high-pitched. Doing my best to stay positive though. What about you?

@nocticolor during these days I am doing quite ok too, thanks for asking. I have a lot to do - teaching, studying for a course and writing a paper - so I do not think often about my tinnitus.
