Nope.

I thought not

@Utmad89 There are all types of tinnitus sufferers on this forum. From mild to moderate to more extreme. Not just one group. Many here still have hope and want to habituate, heal, and maintain a positive mindset. But anyone who finds messages of optimism off-putting, probably shouldn't follow me.

That’s such a positive. Anything you can do with no spike.

Exercise is just as important for mental health as physical wellbeing…glad to hear you are back at it

Great news!!

I'm jelly

@streifzug Believe me, I get plenty of bad days. Seems like I pay for the good days with bad ones.

What a roller coaster!

Luckily it's mostly the first 3. Most days I have no ringing. Once or twice a week it's screaming loud. So strange how it just won't heal.

I can’t get over the fluctuations. I don’t get many at all. Just constant worsening. Quite days must be bliss.

All great tunes! My favorite to play was always La Villa. Such an epic! I miss those days. I don’t think I’ll ever play another Rush song again at this point. It’s crazy how hard I worked to become a professional musician and now I’m terrified of being close to any amplified music even with earplugs in.

@RunningMan I know what you mean about listening to music. It still sounds ok to me at very low volumes but I never know what level will start my ears screaming so I can’t really enjoy it

Neil briefly mentioned his tinnitus in his Ghost Rider book: "Sitting here on canyon rim...silent but for whispering brown river far below (and the usual ringing in my drum-deafened ears!)"

If I had even one day with no ringing, my hope would sky rocket

@Note I do, in some high frequency ranges that aren't really noticeable.

@Juliane I think I was a bit lucky because I was wearing foam plugs at the time of my loud noise event. Which really wasn't that loud. I am also a lifelong musician so that played into it.
