        Work wasn't too bad, thankfully. Actually the new kitten comes tomorrow morning. She's a rescue so they have to come to my house to make sure everything is clean and safe for a cat. ❤️ I haven't had a pet in over 10 years and hoping it's an easy transition.

I try to do research on undoing it and finding the cause, treating symptoms and share my progress with you guys. Life is short and there's no time to waste obsessing about something that makes it harder. Life is still life and you are still you. Keep pressing forward. ❤️

        You mentioned you were habituated 3 weeks ago. That definitely would make it easier. Truly happy for you. I'm nowhere near that, and it gets harder when new variable tones appear. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, pains from medication..... it is debilitating at times. Struggling through and hoping it gets better.

        Im an introvert too @Mo8409 (its just me personality), but I find a lot of insight and pleasure in solitude. Solitude is not loneliness - to me at least. Its better to have 2-3 good friends, than 10+ so-so friends. Some days are just heavier than others - its the circle of life.

        I had the mindset of @MadeleineHope when I was given the choice of vaxing and I opted out hard. I also isolated hard for 2 years, which was brutal for my body but probably ultimately worth it. After Dirk De Ridder told me about 1 in 10 have a bad reaction (relating to T), that was all I needed to know. Thats WAY too high.

        @Mo8409 Thanks so much for your reply. I'm afraid I was overprotecting by wearing plugs around street traffic and in busy restaurants/cafes....then I was like 'oh screw this, and took the plugs out'.... then my pain started. Before it was just sound distortions/reactivity. Probably did too much too soon.

        @Mo8409 A week before this all started I was exposed to a sudden loud blast from my car radio... but I also have a history of some TMD and anxiety, and listening to a lot of audio through earphones.... so I'm not sure what caused it. Was it gradual and then car radio was just the catalyst... who knows. I've had low-level T for years, but this is next level!

        @GG_Ear It could of been all of the above. See if your hearing is damaged first and go from there. Yes baby steps for sure with hyperacusis. When I first started out I'd put earplugs in for an hour then take them out for an hour. Then I'd slowly wear them less and less and expose myself to noises that bothered me. Homemade ginger tea helps with pain and discomfort.

        Some people report sounds causing spikes. My tinnitus varies alot, so I don't know if any sounds are spiking it or increasing sensitivity for hyperacusis. But I don't like to take chances. You had your loops, so you were being careful. I actually prefer to watch movies at home, anyway.

      Not sure why exactly but I've been having multiple dreams a night. Before T I hardly ever dreamt at all. Wonder if my brain is in overdrive.

        @BB23 You don't get brain damage from T lol. It is just a noise but a stress response from it can cause physical issues. The medications can cause the issues as you know. Medication caused my T. T is all on how you mentally can handle it.

        @RunningMan I've always tossed and turned, so maybe you're right. I sleep just the same as I did without T. I just have a little more stress from the noise vs silence.

        @Mo8409 Of course it is brain damage. Please. That manifests itself as a noise that isn't there.

      Too much black tea on accident. Here comes another caffeine spike. Damn you pumpkin spice. Lol

        I think the good part here is that you know that it will cause a spike and you can cope with that!

        @Tryn2BHopeful Life is too short not to enjoy things. I'm careful about my caffeine intake & moved to tea only now but sometimes I accidentally over do it. T is just a noise... annoying sure. Stressful at times, yup! But you are still you and life is still the same as it was before we got our own theme song stuck in our heads!
