Keith Handy Apr 11, 2024 48+ hours of the calmest, quietest, least reactive T since November 2020. This is at about 3.5 years.

Keith Handy Oct 16, 2022 If it stays roughly where it's been the past few days, I might consider declaring myself "out of the woods." Very cautiously optimistic.

Keith Handy Jan 15, 2022 A little early to post my 14 month update, but at this point it seems like it's going to be a good one.

Keith Handy Jan 12, 2022 If there are no trees falling in the woods, but someone hears them falling anyway, is there a sound?
Keith Handy Nov 8, 2021 If a cow could master circular breathing and "moo" without stopping... that's one of my sounds.
Keith Handy Oct 10, 2021 An "ear [...] specialist" who can only diagnose the canal & drum is like an "auto mechanic" who can only change wiper blades.

Keith Handy Sep 28, 2021 I tolerate music when I'm around it, but don't yet trust my ears enough to listen to music I like of my own volition. Maybe in a few months.

Keith Handy Sep 26, 2021 One of my best shifts since this began. I have to keep reminding myself the T is there.
Keith Handy Sep 20, 2021 Went to bed early, woke at 10 PM and experienced TRANQUILITY in a way I haven't since pre-pandemic. I am healing. For real.

Keith Handy Sep 6, 2021 Milestone: this morning I could hear my refrigerator AS A REFRIGERATOR from ~15 feet away, not as a low budget slasher soundtrack.

Keith Handy Sep 5, 2021 Last November... I hope it was the subwoofer... because my chance of ever doing that to myself again is exactly zero.

Keith Handy Aug 26, 2021 Pretty mild trip to the grocery store. Let's see how my class goes this afternoon.
Keith Handy Aug 12, 2021 *Very* mild during my one-on-one two-hour afternoon class. Approaching normal hearing for a good chunk of it.

Keith Handy Aug 5, 2021 Wasn't *the* quietest morning, but I was talking to myself in the car (yes, I do that) and really appreciating the clarity of my own voice.

Keith Handy Aug 3, 2021 A few encouraging days, then yesterday was kind of ragey all afternoon & evening. This morning it's... on the fence.

Keith Handy Jul 30, 2021 Man, this thing is all over the place. From "it's inaudible" to "this sound is OK" to "I can't live with this" - all in the span of minutes.

Keith Handy Jul 30, 2021 Shawshank Redemption is easily in my all-time top five movies. If you can watch it - even if you need subtitles - imagine it as a metaphor.

Keith Handy Jul 23, 2021 T is pretty light today. I'm currently more preoccupied with a missing package.
Keith Handy Jul 22, 2021 As expected, got worse again, then better, but not as good as saturday morning. Still, if it could get there once, it can get there again.

Keith Handy Jul 17, 2021 Milestone: quietest morning of the whole year. Prepared for continued fluctuation, of course.
Keith Handy Jul 14, 2021 I no longer post every time I have a quieter period, because they're frequent enough not to be newsworthy.

Keith Handy Jul 5, 2021 Woke to a nice soft hiss and nothing else. The other sounds creep in as I get moving, but it's a nice moment.

Keith Handy Jul 4, 2021 Wishing everyone adequate protection from noise today, as per your personal needs.
Keith Handy Jun 17, 2021 Impressively low baseline yesterday; wish this stuff was more linear & predictable.
Keith Handy Jun 2, 2021 My ears are Play-Doh, and every sound that touches them leaves an indentation.
