Just had fleeting t episode, only lasted about 5-10 seconds but it immediately made me think of everyone here. Hope you're all doing well! Apr 28, 2020

  I scored a two packs (of 2) of paper towels today!!! I almost cried when Cuomo said we're through the worst today, if we're careful.

  Checking in with my friends. Hope everyone ok and socially distancing. Not getting quieter but getting used to it and hoping it will.

  The t on only my left side is screaming today. I think I drove for about an hour and a half with the earplug inserted wrong. Darn it!

    I use Hearos skin-colored and I do ok with my right ear but my left ear canal is small or at a wonky angle and I rarely get that one right.

    Make sure to pull your ear up with your other hand to straighten the canal and allow the plug to go into place properly. If I use foam I roll them up tightly in my fingers, pull the ear up and insert it, then hold it in the ear by placing my finger over the end until it's fully expanded.

    So far so good Bill. It was only about 15-20 seconds and my ears have definitely become less sensitive. It's out of my mind unless I wake up and notice a change.

  While we feel like we're the only ones who hear a ringing has it ever occurred to you that everone here hears ringing. Sometimes I forget.

    I can tell you for sure that I had complete silence before chronic T, cause I always slept in a silent room with ear plugs and I heard silence.

    Honestly I dont even know if I ever heard true silence, at least I dont remember. I think I did because this ringing was never a problem before. It just came out nowhere for me.

    Sorry to say, but it's not true. I didn't have ringing in my pre T life. Well, except for the occassional fleeting T, which everyone does get.

    I got a box of 100 off Amazon. They're skin color so they blend in better. I thought I had the trick down but next time I tried I was back to step one.
