Awesome !! So nice..

I have battery powered lawn more and trimmer. Depends on reactivity. It’s still a little loud when the cutter spins. I have all my family in the city. I need to move to the country because of T but it will never happen. Too much of my family in the city.

@4Grace yeah we live in a little town called Belhaven NC. So we live in a little town. I have never been to a big city. I have been to Colorado about 3 times years ago so that’s the farthest I’ve ever been. I’ve never been on an airplane either and never will because I’m very scared of heights. Yeah I couldn’t imagine living in a big city where it is loud. Are you doing any better?

@SharonBell - that’s interesting. If I told you how I was doing you would not believe it. I am thinking of taking mirt and I don’t want to. It’s so loud and reactive to sounds. Everything falling apart.

@4Grace hello I havnt talked to you lately. I’m doing ok. I sure hope you are doing better since you went to the chiropractor. I’ve missed talking to you.

@SharonBell - that’s great news. I did not realize you lived away from the big cities. Sounds so nice. Must make it a little easier.

@shoronbell - Thank you.

This would have been awesome.

@JeffToob Hello I’m dealing with it better than before but it is so hard. How is yours doing? Oh yeah he did and he lives in Chicago I believe and I’m married, but it was nice he made me feel good.

@SharonBell - I hope this was not me they are referring to above. :) I am also very happily married. You had mentioned it so I said it back. If I offended you by saying it I apologize. You had mentioned it so I replied back that it would have been great since we share the same experiences. I don’t think it was me but just in case. Thanks as always for being a friend.

@SharonBell I'm glad you and @Lipshitz are chatting now and his interest in you was a compliment.

I'm trying meditation which is its own torture with this condition. Relaxation is impossible when my brain is constantly firing off this noise but we need to figure it out and keep trying. Life is day by day now. Keep protecting your ears and don't worsen!

@SharonBell - I have no option but to not do anything at the moment. I think to myself maybe tomorrow it will be a little better. If I continue to wake up and it stays like this everyday, I don’t know. Being bed bound is not me. It’s torcher. I am getting bad restless legs in bed. My back is killing me. I was biking and 1/2 happy a few days ago.

@SharonBell i read many stories of people with chronic illness. I knew of them prior to developing T. The human mind cannot conceive or understand that type suffering unless they expericance it themselves. My heart breaks now more then ever. As of the last two days God has molded me into something better. Kind of… if he would just remove the mold.

@SharonBell - without removing the mold it’s all worthless. My suffering once had a purpose. It no longer serves any purpose. Just suffering. I did pray that God take me for the sake of my family…. But to be honest, also, for a bit of selfish reasons, to remove my suffering…. because I can no longer do it. If you were a few hours away I would take a drive to come say hello to you.

@SumGuy hello my T is very bad lately. It started out rough aging when I first had it with Covid both times. When it came back in 2023 it was 10 times worse with buzzing-static electricity 24/7 it’s in both ears and my head. The head is the worst. How is your T and how did it start?

I actually dont really know, I remember I woke up wtih a stuffy ear and T. Went to PCP, and said I had an ear infection because my eardrum was red and inflammed. I finished my course 2 weeks ago and while it did remove alot of the pressure and pain, the T stayed :/

@Anthony2019 no I can’t get hearing aids because my hearing loss is in the high frequency over 10,000. Right ear and left was mild. I’m going to look tomorrow and see what my left was seems like it was 16k. I heard a lot of people say that hearing aids have helped them when having T. How bad is your T? How much have they helped you?

I say that to my wife alot... I think it was lexapro but was it? I will never be 100% sure. Doesn't change anything now.

I am just seeing this post sorry. I am thinking of you and suffering along side you. You are not alone. Hope for better days. Today I talked to someone with bad T. He lives as if he does not have and he’s in pain. WOW.

That's the right mindset staying busy . Good job

Lipshitz yeah I’ve been painting a lot in my house and thank the lord it’s getting warmer so I can work outside in the yard and start getting the pool ready. I will eventually start back working a real job. I’ve been cleaning some houses also and I have 3 that I clean every 2 weeks.

❤️❤️❤️

Then it makes me feel.. naturalness.. is the thing also.. when we feel natural.. that's just kind of all one could wish for (in my mind)... just natural health & wellbeing. A natural life. Oh gosh man.. this has been such a heavy ride..

Yesterday i couldn't sleep and find relaxation.. and just crying to be honest.. it's just too ridiculous.. and again just without drama.. we just want to feel comfortable in our own skin.. that's all.. and it feels like this continuous disturbance.. sleep is a basic need.. and luckily it does get better, and luckily i don't have too much work n such..

My heart goes out to you too friend. I wish and pray things may get better. Truly going day by i guess..

L along the way thank you.yeah day by day. Hope you had a good day. Do you have any suggestions to help. Didn’t know if maybe you do something different than I do.

@SharonBell thank you, well pfft honestly, i'm also struggling with it all, i'm also looking for solutions. The only thing that seems to help now, is that i try to find calm, despite the t. But this is easier said than done, but somehow, let the body & mind try to untense, despite the t.

Other than that, hope that it will get better with time, healthy lifestyle, and plenty of rest. Praying for things to get better.. going day by day.. hug

❤️

It sounds like it will happen for you. So close.

@SharonBell - so sorry. I wish we could at last go to events with family. I cannot believe this happened to us. It’s incredible what we take for granted without even knowing it. Just the freedom to walk around or go to a restaurant. Enjoy a meal. I just had some desert and my ears are an electrical storm with pure tones. This is top of the line T with all the trimmings,.. bells and whistles - pun intended.

Sooo many typos it’s incredible. I should really proof read my posts before hitting enter. At least … not at last. I think my point gets across even with all the typos. :) These little boxes and on my phone .. always thinking faster then I can type.

Yeah...got the same thing going on as well. It is truly astonishing how loud it is right now! Feels like my brain is short circuiting. Hope this calms down for both of us soon...

Work gives me a task to focus on and actually makes the day pass by more quickly. I dread the weekends when my T is bad.

That sounds nice. Staying busy is good. I am happy to hear this news for you. :). Only change here is that I have reintroduced all foods in my diet.

@SharonBell - I feel like too much pulling back on life is hard. Do what you want to do and let T do what it has to do. Accept to share our brains with T. Possible? I don’t know. May be the only way. Mine fills my head like yours. It’s loud. I am trying to let it be.

There are millions of people who have Tinnitus that is very bad and they live happy lives to a extent where they don't let their Tinnitus control them . The key to adapting to the sound is to except it and change your thoughts about it . If you keep listening to it with negative feelings towards it you'll never be able to move forward in life .
