If I were smart enough to understand that, I'd have fixed it already:-). Let's hope someone is!

Yes sometimes it might be better to be prepared, Emma. In fact I'm going through this thing right now with some stuff in life. But by preparing for the worst I'm also pre-assuming the worst, which itself can be just as bad or sometimes even worse than not being prepared once it happens.

Ohh absoloutely not, I belive we lay our own path yes. But sometimes you don't have the stone you need or want and have to take what you get. But it's still the same road that you made yourself. Does that make sense? Wow I must stop talking in parables lol!

Indeed. The evil circle of tinnitus making you feel bad which makes the T worse which makes you feel worse and so on. But I guess I shouldn't complain if I'm that smart that I can actually hear my brain;-) ehh?

Don't think of it as the tinnitus has changed you. I'll anwser that with something I read in the book "for every dog an angel" by Christine Davis. She said to a friend that she wasn't expecting herself to take this road, to which she got the reply; but Chris, this is your road. It just doesn't...

Hello. I was watching a dvd with a swedish comedian, David Batra, doing stand up comedy. He was doing a rather fun and entertaining show, but in the middle of this he said he wanted to take a moment to talk about a hearing disorder he got about 2-3 years ago. He said that one time during a...

Do you know any songs about, or, which are reffering to tinnitus? I know some(I'll mention latr, when I've thought about it for a while) and hearing that tends to make me feel like I'm not alone. I'd love to hear a few more so if you know any, would you kindly let me know:-)?

And even though you cried, I'm glad you remember. As long as we remember, there's hope. Remeber, one day you will probably feel that way again, and it might be sooner than you expect:-)

Will life be the same as before we first got T? I don't think so. We learn and we change from experiences. Even if my tinnitus was cured now I'd still be aware of the problem and therefore forever avoid loud enviroments e.t.c. So I don't think life will be the same as before. But that does...

TODAY is EXACTLY one year since I got my tinnitus. I was 17 at the time and am now 18.

If it'd be guaranteed that the tinnitus would never come back, AKA: make me immune to tinnitus, then that without a doubt.

Not being able to listen to music, that must be hard:( I hope it gets better - if you start maybe you can do it a little more and more until it gets better! Yes that's what I've felt as well - smoother sounds like ocean, rain, bubbles etc. seem to only be good for my tinnitus, while white noise...

I think the sound it made was very similar to my tinnitus, so I kind of always heard that sound over the sound from the actual show, or program. Then when I went away from the screen I was used to hear it over normal sounds and that's what I think made it annoying for me to watch. I do have...

Usually when I am listening to stuff I think less about the tinnitus. So a movie is usually a good thing to get my mind of the sound in my head. But I remember an old TV I had, one of those fat ones, which made this high pitched noise, so whenever I was watching this one my tinnitus went bananas...

Yes, as Erik said, I do believe the worrying is making it worse than you think. I know it's not always easy, but try doing something you love to get your mind off it!
