Like blender loud?

Probably louder :/

Wtf?!....that's crazy. Luckily I'm a scrambler not a boiler haha.

"THIS IS INSANE, I CAN'T LIFT 3 TIMES MY OWN BODY WEIGHT WHY DO I LIVE IN A NEST!?" sorry I miss read that I thought it said The Raving Ant.

I miss your lovely hair too Holly,
but now we can’t see it anyway, now you’ve changed your avatar.
(photos are so much more personal - IMNSHO !)

@Jazzer That picture previously on @Holly1987 avatar was not her. You're not vain at all Holly, as it's said a woman's beauty is in her hair....

Yes that wasn't me Jazzer! I did a post about it, it was my favourite character from a TV show. Sorry for the confusion.

And then you realise they are quicker than you thought and you're not sure you will make it.

It's v stressful

My stalking days are over.

theres more actually

Wait, I'm not suppose to see this?

I Always wear earplugs with my hairdryer...

I don't really care or panic like I used to, it's just so confusing.

LOL!

You are getting at least 6 hours of sleep though, yes?

It's very up and down at the moment, some nights it's 2 hrs other nights it's 8.

I do it looks very sad. Of course it's leading to a treatment so I'm not complaining too much.

Poor little thing, he should be the mascot for this group. A true hero.

@threefirefour: They always look like that, take bloodhounds and bassets, they always look sad, still I wouldn't want to be on the RD team to have put Tinnitus on that Guinea pig.

@Holly1987: Agreed, is there away to do that?

Donate half to research, the take another half to starting an animal shelter, with the remnant buy out a local non-chain business in Your area, a gas and sip for instance, then use Your cut on research and animal shelters. but it's only fantasy, so *proceeds to sing the Pirate song with the word billionaire instead of Pirate* I promise never to sing again.

I think I'm getting there..

Do you have tinnitus? I'm suffering from hyperacusis but just like you I laugh it off. What will be the next step?

I have tinnitus xx I'm hoping the next step will be total indifference towards it.

Oh hi Ed! You changed your pic, I didn't realise it was you. You're so right, I hope in time I can get there.

You will, Holly1987, stand firm.

I'm exactly like you. It is like i was absolutely fine with that noise and suddenly I catch the sound and it bugs me for months. Just like a radio, catching a particular noise frequency..

He said once the fluid drains hopefully the tinnitus will return to baseline.

Feel really pissed off 6 weeks ago my Dr wouldn't give me a referral... I've had the worst few months. Knowing it was fluid would have helped my anxiety so much

If you get a random spike don't let people tell you it's all part of tinnitus. Demand to see an ENT.

I love your new avatar :)

I like your new avatar too Holly.

Thank you!

Update: Had pancakes instead, v good

My poor fiance, at least once a day I will say "can you hear that noise?" I'm a nervous wreck!

Same, once I was at my friends house I heard a faint ringing, I panicked for about 1-2 seconds thinking it was a new T tone, and then asked my friend if she could hear it, and luckily she said yes :D It was a tv box that made the sound.

My mom has done this for year. Use to drive me crazy! Now that I have T I do it too!

Thanks for the encouragement Dave xxx some days it really wears me down. Tomorrow will be better.

There's strength in numbers. I would be so lost if I had to seek advice from people who didn't have T and I'd also think I was being soft. This really effects us.

I would be lost too, I was telling my parents about it and they were like "oh that's no good, sounds a bit annoying" I explained to them it was causing me extreme distress and they looked rather puzzled. Thank gosh people here understand.

My mom said something very similar within an hour of when I was told to deal with it. I was patient and cried once I hung up the phone.

(((Big hug)))

If tinnitus is in your brain that is not unusual. I have that happen a lot and become confused. I think it's more of a perception that it's in your left or right ear. But I could be wrong.

I hope one day it goes away

That's me almost every morning. The sheer disappointment of waking up To T everyday is tiresome.

@TheDanishGirlKD It's exhausting :(

Coffee can lower the risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, so don't feel guilty about your morning caffeine fix ;)

I am drinking my morning coffee as I am reading this haha

Lol very true!
