Sorry to hear things have slowed down. Seems like that everywhere from what I'm hearing. I think a combination of the election and who knows what else. Hope things pick up for you. I got a Volvo and brought it home today. Seems like a nice truck. T is spiking tonight. I think because of...

Hey Ecip, No just been working around home here a bit and back and forth to the ent. Getting hearing aids shortly, not sure if I am going to like that. Looking at a newer truck, haven't decided yet. How about you, how is the photography business going and how is your course going? Is your T...

Hey Mike, thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what causes my spikes, whether it's food or not. Today had snack of the dried fruit but didn't spike till about 2 hours later and like you maybe an hour, settled back down now. So don't know how long after you eat the spike hits. Not being able to...

Hi NatalieA, Welcome!!! I am sure you will enjoy the kindness and support on this site, the folks are truly an inspiration, even the posts that aren't always positive to read in the suffering aspect, but are still good to see and know you aren't alone. It has been a true gift for me.

Hey Ecip, Good for you!!!!! I hope you get your future career on track, it can be challenging breaking into a new field, I wish you all the best. I was actually looking at the insurance agent, broker jobs today on line as a couple of places are looking for people. I worked at mullen for a few...

Hey Mike, I used to be a driving instructor and from what I remember anything that restricts your hearing isn't allowed, at least in a commercial vehicle. Mind you that is a few years back and times change. I'll have to do some research on that. I would think that your situation would be an...

You are right. The newer trucks are a lot quieter. Mine being a 99 doesn't fall into that category. I just sold my 2011 lonestar and that was quieter and rode better than my pickup. If you are wondering why I sold the newer truck was because of the DPF on it, what a problem child. I...

Hey Ecip, it's just one I downloaded onto my phone. I have no idea of the accuracy, probably not that good, but thought I would play with it anyway. I noticed though my T has really spiked. Been up just about all night. Just been reading about diet stuff and learned beef isn't good for T...

Hello Glynis, I am new on here having just got T in both ears about 10 days ago. Certainly changes things, and not for the better. lol I tried measuring my T also, it sounds really loud to me and very high frequency. Best I can come up with was around 8650 hz and matched that as best I could...

Good Evening Everyone, Thank you all for your replies and advice, I am taking it to heart. I had a rough night last night and thought well can't laze around forever so went out today and split some wood. Have an electric splitter, surprised me though, had to wear ear plugs as I found the...

Thank you for the support, it means a lot.

Good Afternoon Everyone, thank you for your input and advice. I haven't quit driving yet, or should say haven't been back on the road yet with this T. I was wondering about the noise levels as my truck as it is an older one. I am going for a short drive tomorrow and see how it is. Those...

Thanks for the reply Mike. Have been to the doc, had hearing test etc. now on benzo or whatever its called for a couple of days to see if it helps. Thank you for @Ecip notation, I will look him up. I was supposed to leave for the east coast today but the doc figured I better give this demon a...
