I've been taking a break from TT for awhile. But I've logged on to update anyone who may be interested: 0.5/10 tinnitus for awhile now.

Can a motorbike revving/general traffic cause damage without earplugs?

Petit a petit, l’oiseau fait son nid..

My heart goes out to everybody in light of the recent FX-322 news. You are all in my prayers, I hope you all can see relief soon.

Just got back from the appointment. Great hearing in all areas of the standard audiogram. Earwax done manually with a bit of suction.

Hey! @sophielynch :) Any progress?

Having a good day today and a fairly nice evening. T is at a VERY low level, nearly silence after only 3 months.

@Ilias T Thanks for reaching out. I know, I tend to overthink things so much and it's suffocating. I'm trying my best to calm down..

After a few good days, I'm feeling very anxious this evening. I have a baseline feeling of fear, even though I thought I was coping.

My tinnitus always seems to get more noticable around the evening - 8PM onward. If I stop to listen to it, I notice the noise oscillates...

@Anniz Not really. I find that my T is normally faint in the morning, but when I go to bed it feels more noticable, though not louder.

Help, I'm really scared now.

Went out for groceries and encountered a ambulance siren, a car revving it's engine loudly and my phone being loud against my ear. WTF

I'm noticing that the soft noise I experience during the day gets so much more intense at night. Sleep has been rough.

Does anyone have any advice for ear protection in a college dorm? I'm soon to return to campus and I don't want to take my chances.

I wonder if I'll ever entirely forget about tinnitus. I feel like this experience will haunt me even if I recover.

My ENT appointment is next Wednesday... Here comes the anticipation.

@Steph1710 That's disgusting. I'm so sorry something like that happened to you. :(

My tinnitus is super quiet today, I'm actually having a string of very pleasant evenings.

Woke up this morning to nothing but the slightest static in my left ear. I finally feel like I can breathe and live again.

After a weird morning where tinnitus was obnoxious, it's back to relative silence. I'm terrified of my upcoming ENT appointment though.

@Guywithapug I saw your status just now. I wish you nothing but happiness. Your strength inspires me.

C'est la vie.

@Steph1710 I just want you to know how grateful I am for your posts. I've genuinely had so much relief from your presence on this forum. <3

My tinnitus sounds softer and for the past few days I feel like it's barely there. I'm really trying my best not to get too excited.

Having my family make jokes about my tinnitus is really suckish. On the bright side, it's 99% gone, so I may be the victor in all this.

Do people ever stop thinking about tinnitus during the day? I've been having weeks of quiet days but I still can't settle down.

Just had a moment of silence for a few moments before the tinnitus came back at a low level. Sweet relief.

My ENT appointment is soon. In the meantime I've been dealing with some difficult evenings, I'm really hoping things improve further.

I'm nearly 4 months in and I can barely hear it. Here's hoping my wishes for a full recovery aren't just as pipe dream.
