Studying hundreds of pages for my exams seems absolutely impossible with tinnitus. Nice to experience my education going down the drain.

I so would like to have my (relative) freedom and control back. Does this ever stop sucking?

I feel like I'm losing my cognitive skills every day. Don't know whether it's due to T itself or the extreme lack of sleep.

Must be a special place in hell for charlatans making money off of other people's suffering.

Never ending hell.

@Steph1710 Is your T still gone? I hope so.

1 year anniversary

Low hum is a different kind of hell. It's not getting better. I'm just so tired, scared and hopeless.

New sound: like the wind is blowing in my right ear. Devastated, but hope it goes.

Everything sucks T-wise, but at least it turned out that my dog doesn't have cancer.

So loud

I am failing to stay calm with the low hum. Nothing masks it at night at a level which is not damaging for my UHF tinnitus.

The dreaded low hum is back after almost a year. Trying to stay calm and hoping that as always, it goes away in a couple of weeks.

Can sleep get better after almost a year? I don't know how long I can function on 2-3 hours of sleep. Nothing seems to help.

My knee started to crack a few days ago every step I take. 1. it's oh so annoying 2. worried that it's something more serious 3. backpain

Note to myself: Stop clinging to hope that it will go away. Probably it won't.

Yesterday I had a miraculous 7 hours of sleep, T was the least intrusive in ages. Of course it didn't last.

Another night of 2 hours of sleeping. I'm going to lose the rest of my sanity.

Right now the intermittent sound irritates me more than the constant one, even though it's pretty quiet. God help me, if it gets louder.

Sleep deprivation is killing me slowly but steadily. Nothing makes sense.

I'm logging out for a while. Stay safe everyone and have quiet days!

Every day I go to bed hoping that finally I can get proper sleep and then I don't. I really don't know what to do.

Whenever I feel slightly better, I get a night with no sleep. This is ridiculous and cruel.

There is no way I'm doing this for decades. I just don't have the strength in me.

@Lynny How was your GP visit? Are you alright? Has your hearing improved?

Does anyone have any tips how to stay asleep? Falling asleep is OK, but I wake up like every half an hour. Meds, natural stuff, anything?

I haven't had a good sleep in 9 months. I think I'd be a lot less miserable if I could sleep at least.

I would give one of my arms to be able to sleep again properly.

Wisdom tooth started to ache. Great. Just great. I really needed this.

Older tinnitus is sh.t as well, but having this rhythmic, cooing/distant ambulance like sound which is really hard to explain, is terrible.
