Feeling more resolute today. Despite the relentless and overpowering T now, I can remember that in the last 13 years I have had more good days than bad days. And on the best days, the T didnt matter one bit. That's got to count for something. I have to believe that I can make it through this...

Feeling really down. I'm so tired of having to live with this. The psychological and emotional burden of trying to be strong and carry on through every major spike has slowly chipped away at my resolve each time. It's so loud, louder than everything. Nothing can mask it. This is hell

Extremely loud spike in T the last few weeks. I've been so careful this last year, I have no idea why it's so bad suddenly.

Good days and bad days. T loud as ever but slowly habituating. Feeling down today. Music (my passion) doesn't sound good anymore.

@TJ670, I am in a similar position to you; I had tinnitus for 12 years, recently made a stupid decision to go dancing to release high-stress levels in my life, and woke up to a significant increase in tinnitus and some hearing loss. I'm slowly getting used to the new tinnitus, but the hearing...

After 4 years of relative peace and normality, my own recklessness has made things worse than ever. Trying to stay positive, but its hard...

Metalhead here. I absolutely adore Ghost. They aren't really all that metal, but they are a damn fun band to listen to.

Hi there. Yes it's very encouraging to see how far research has progressed. When I first came across this site in 2012 things seemed really far off then. We live in exciting times!

Sorry for the late reply. Yes I flew to the UK. The flight wasn't too bad at all. According to the soundmeter app on my phone, the sound level was averaging at 65 db. In any case I was wearing my earplugs for the entire flight except when eating, and even then wasn't too loud. I was flying an...

This is something I have asked myself many times as well. I mean sure I have exposed myself several times to very loud sounds and its no real surprise I have T, but I know people who go to clubs and gigs night after night with ni hearing protection, always have their earphones/headphones on and...

Hi @Sash Yup our ears are compromised and accumulated damage really adds up for us. At the time we think "oh this isnt too bad" but the consequences strike later. Give your ears a rest for a while and maybe avoid thinking of music festivals for now. I know it must be hard, I have been facing...

Hi Tinnitus Talk, Firstly I just want to express my thanks to this community. It has been a great and positive resource for me in my journey with tinnitus. I have been a lurker for most of my time here, but if you search my post history you will see that I have posted once or twice in 2017 when...

My T has just become worse than its ever been but I wont let it win. I will make every effort to live as fulfilling a life as I can.
