Oh no @kingsfan :-( Looking for a job is a full time job! I hope you will soon be invited for an interview and land a great well-paid job.

Why do you think the hiss went away?

Lets see if insurance still pays for Covid tests. Hopefully my tinnitus doesn't get even worse...

For sure, I'm not seeing many people wearing masks when I go into public places.

You're not alone. ❤️

Sad to hear that. And no, you are not alone ❤️

@kingsfan - I am very sad to hear that for you. You are not alone. This T is making my pile much much bigger.

I mean to be fair when you have severe tinnitus, does the day really matter anyways lol. New day same BS. Nothing too look foward to regardless.

@Ryan Scott Every day is different with me. It's exhausting.

I hear you, I got this low frequency being a PITA, along with my normal high pitch... No rhyme or reason, just another way to torture me.

@Tryn2BHopeful Trying to wrap my head around what low freq tinnitus would be like. This condition is so personal that, even while suffering from it, it's difficult to imagine what anyone else's experience is like.

@Hardwell Now I never know what each day will be like. And that hour I was on the side of the highway a few months ago just made things even more random and extreme.

Yeah I think T just does whatever it wants honestly man, for no reason. Been confined to the couch for 10 months and still get spikes for no reason. Just such a dumb condition like no other to have to live with.

@Ryan Scott You aren't working?

@cjbhab But it still took another decade of abusing car stereos and earphones to set it all in motion.

Took 2 pills... and likely alot of stress...

@Tryn2BHopeful Otoxicity really is a whole different beast. Another member here had her hearing destroyed from a single course of azithromycin. I used to take that stuff regularly for blepharitis. I even had it in eye drop form.

For real!

Yay! =|

@Juliane I'm a UI designer and front end web developer. I can also do graphic design work. I've worked in the travel, video game,home builder, and music and events industries. Some I worked for companies directly, others were while working at a design agency.

I will do remote or in-office. I'll work anywhere needed, though I'd prefer southern california.

@kingsfan Sorry, did not see your reply! That sounds great. You have a very creative and versatile profile and if I had a company I would hire you on the spot :-) Are there a lot of remote job postings in those fields?

:-(

I am so sorry @kingsfan. That is just unimaginable challenging to deal with...

Thinking of you. I’m so sorry this is happening.

I hate this.

That might be due to the neck brace restricting your neck movement.

This is happening to me more and more.

@SarahMLFlemmer When I can get a job and my own place again, and be near by kid, then I'll have some gratitude. Those are the only things I want right now. Looks like i'll be missing her 16th bday....

@kingsfan I hope all those things will happen for you ❤️

@Juliane thanks =)

@sakrt Light stretching every hour seems to be helping a lot so far. I went to the store and bought a couple new computer mice, but I will be returning them for a pen tablet.

Your ear pain on same side w/ the arm pain? @kingsfan

@sakrt yes same side.

Mmmm Looooove everything pumkins. :) What brew did you have? Last one I had was John Adams. I love John Adams. You?

@sakrt Cold brew coffee =). I'm more of a whiskey drinker than a beer drinker. Really the only beers I like are Modelo, Sapporo and Blue Moon.

@kingsfan oops. :) ha. Not much of beer drinker either, but the curiosity of pumpkinspice w/ it at the time, and the interesting seasonal varieties. Great w/ coffee too, but not tried "iced"/cold. Did it spike your T?

I guess it’s all based on your neighbors and surrounding area. My aunt and uncle live on a very quiet cul-de-sac in a small town and I’m jealous they don’t have obnoxiously loud neighbors with all kinds of cars and motorcycles, or ones that light off fireworks all year round.

@BobbieJay-1954 Any one of the neighbors are mowing on any given day. F250/350 Diesel trucks driving down the main at the end of the street. Harley bikes in the summer. Freight trains blasting horn through town 4-5 times a day/night. Prop planes flying overhead.

Sounds exactly like my neighborhood. It’s genuinely awful. I’m lucky they mow the lawns here about once a week (I live in a condo) but when they do it’s so annoying.

@Mo8409 boo, I want a refund

Did anyone see the cow?

@sakrt No.. no E.T. on a bicycle either. bummer

Holy moley macaroni!

Holy pants!

@SarahMLFlemmer Good golly, miss Molly

@kingsfan ahh ok, that explains it. Hissing to me (my hissing) is like air coming out of a tyre.
My high pitch electrical buzz is also my most challenging too
I do get frustrated with every study, and any tests, with no mention of pitch, and whether pitch was ever changed.
Yes we all want silence but a change in pitch to my version of hissing would do me too!

Strange and bad

Mine is like tuning an old radio high frequency signals maybe? Constantly an electrical metallic pulsating screech. Has a static base I can feel or its so loud thats how its perceived. Its unmaskable and what kills me. The white noise/static is max volume in my ear drums. It went ballistic when I worsened a few months back. FML. All tones I habituated too. Now, they are UNDER the static. Its that loud.

Right!! No tinnitus having MFr's! I hate that shit!

He didn't!

Story of our life.

Oh no :-/

lol yeah man tell me about it!

I do this on my computer at least once a day. I’ll turn up a quiet program’s volume and then Windows will BLARE a notification sound. Love it!

Unmaskable, squealing, high pitch static/hiss is THE WORST. You cannot function. If you want to trade pure tones for it? You have no idea what this is. The static hiss is pure torture and makes wearing protection a particular insanity. If the pulsing, hissing, shooting static was gone? I would have myself and my life back. I have about 5 regular T tones and ll take 5 more over this hell.

I got the high pitch static, hiss that breaks up and skips around. I get the low hum sometimes as well. Both are frustrating in their own way. The low hum almost has a feeling to it in your ears. The high pitch hissing is just un-maskable and you hear it over every thing. I have had the high pitch since day one, so I guess I am more used to that one atm... ugh.

I have the hiss, electrical with pure tone that fades in and out. I can feel my noise in my right ear.
