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.

I miss not having to be aware of my ears all the freaking time. T is not worse, but I'm getting more and more depressed.

My first try with a basic push lawn mower was an utter failure. Our garden really is a challenge for it.

Don't know why, maybe the weather, but I haven't been sleeping lately again. Wonderful what a difference 4-5 h. can make compared to 2-3.

Everyone I know offline with T deals with it just fine and yet I'm still very miserable. I should be better by now. Wth is wrong with me.

Tinnitus has been so bad today, very shrill and screeching.

8 months. Still feeling miserable.

Got back to the city. I miss my earbuds and very strongly dislike my loud neighbours.

Yesterday I almost felt normal, now back at the "don't see how to live with this" stage. Never gonna get better.

Right now the overwhelming, numbing, constant fear that it can worsen is worse than the actual level of my tinnitus.
