As much as I have the reins on tinnitus now- I don't on the world around me. To be around anything louder than 70db hurts... Yet every event I go to the speakers are turned up to 100db and I see no one else wearing earplugs... Why the fuck is everything so loud, and I'm the only one reacting...

Now why did I get a noise increase from a comedy show of all things? Frustrating. Taking it as it comes. Hiss hiss hisssssssssssss

My friends were blasting music in the car and my ears haven't recovered really :(

Sat in the back of my friend's revved up car not warned how goddamn loud it would be - Having a noise increase :/ I still don't really feel all that polite jamming my fingers in my ears every time its loud, but sometimes you need to I suppose!

Since getting this it has made me want to explore audiology as a career pathway. It's alarming how many unempathetic experiences people have had with the initial realization of having tinnitus. I think about how unprepared I was at first - I think I really needed someone who got it to help me...

Went and saw Nosferatu and have had a noise increase since :/ That's on me for not having my earplugs in the entire time. But also: Why are cinemas so goddamn loud? Or can they mix the movie so it's not going to deafen me every time something interesting happens...!

Happy new year. 2024 was woeful and the first year with T but I'm determined to have a better year learning to deal with this. Stay strong everybody 💪

It's been louder for me for a few days now. I'm grateful that the anxiety isn't here towards it anymore - but it's still annoying to sit through and can be hard reminding myself to try and tune it out over and over again. I'm getting there.

At a bowling alley right now for a friend's birthday and the music is blasting. I hate bowling enough as it is 🙃 Earplugs with me to look like a doofus as always

How are you going @Utdmad89 ? Hope you're doing ok mate

There needs to be more tinnitus support here in Aus, tempted to start a support group for my city so I feel less alone... Selfish maybe. Ha
