I'm so bombarded with it I can barely tell. I know milk makes it worse. I love milk and drank two full glasses the other day and it made Hell in my head. Refined sugar doesn't do a lot of good either, like cordial. It never stops. I keep a strong face up but secretly I'm fucking dying. I don't...
I get moments when I feel entirely normal then the ringing comes back. I wish to God it would stop. I was just praising a woman on clean sheets and if her husband appreciated her. I felt for a moment I could be that man. Then, when I stopped to ponder...
I can't sleep regular hours. I'm up all night, sleep in snippets. Stressed, anxious, depressed, can't work. Can't do anything. It completely ruins a person.
It wont make you dumber, but it will make one wish they were dumb enough to be optimistic about what the future holds for one with tinnitus.
Your brother certainly sounds like a simpleton. You nailed it there. Next he'll be telling you that it's all in your head and to just get over it. Avoid those twats, for their own safety.
I got tinnitus from headphones and was sensitive to sounds in the leadup. Throw the things in the bin and stay away from loud noises. You're likely right on the brink of getting the constant ringing forever.
I've had mine for 5 months. It will ruin your life. Loud music is fucking rubbish. Avoid like the plague, but you wouldn't know until it's too late. I mean, why would a person come to a place like this unless they're already fucked?
Things are better but the T is still there. I can't tell if it's worse. It goes up and down almost randomly now - doesn't go away though. Luckily I can go outside in the world and it seems mostly un-noticable. It seems worse when I sit for long times for TV and movies. I've still got computer...
Ok so... The tap thing will roll away fractional T but not the base. Mine was lower then it got set off by a slamming door of an angry female. Then she did it again! It's lower today but in the dead of morning my cat flicked the xbox stick and that set it off. Very sensitive. (mods should move...
My T is less today. I now might now know what they mean by "baseline" in that it did go up but it comes down. I also tried something experimental:
If you plug your ear with a finger on the outer bit, then gently then tap the ear and lobe in different spots it matches the T in a spot and gives...
My "testing it" the other night was a stupid idea. I think I made it a little worse. Now I know I'm finished. I was a little optimistic, perhaps too much so. Now I'm completely in despair.
Yeah but you and I both know there's nothing that can be done. There is no cure. I've looked at everything known to man about this thing. It's a wait and see scenario.
I did go to the doc - he was some Indian guy so he wasn't much help. Kept asking "so you want a hearing test" - the guy could barely speak English. So I said "yes, hearing test" (what a stupid thing to say) and that's as far as I've been. I've never had an ailment this long. I feel knackered...
It's very siiiiii high pitch in left ear. I cant tell anymore so much because it has sent me half mad. Is it better or the same? If I thought it was the same I'd lose the plot completely. It's getting better.... i think.
