That’s awesome, buddy!

YES!!!!!!! God Bless

Don't give up my friend! John 3:16- God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever would believe in him would not perish, but have Everlasting life!

If it wasn't meant to be, it's best she's gone. You're going to find someone even better. Just watch

She was pretty much everything I've ever wanted. This was my 7th GF. I am seriously getting tired of this. I am going to get myself examined. I think I have aspergers or adhd or something.

Just as an example, the Amphions worked for several hours a day, and they are KNOWN for causing problems with T. But some old consumer speakers I have gives ear fullnes and pain after 3-5 minutes. The difference can be night and day

Then again, if fan noise is a problem I think you must be more sensitive than me

Just make the ideas quietly on laptop speakers and then come back for the sound design and mixing at a later date :)

I have this now. My ringing really ramps up. How you doing these days?

You're experiencing a spike. You'll get back there. Be calm. Continue to protect.

Well.. This has lasted almost a week now.

You'll get there. I believe it.
There are spikes that last weeks. Yourr current stress level and lack of sleep is making things worse. Hang in there. Eat full meals, focus deeply on something like a project, and take something to sleep if need be.

Nightclubs are hell holes. They've always been. Music is way too loud in those places.

@Contrast Does it heal? It has gotten better during time but...

i mean it could but no guarantees. The less damage the better chance of recover.

Hope it starts to get better for you mate. My ears still click to noises but at least the pain has mostly gone.

@HeavyMantra My H got worse again. There was so much noise on gym, my ears are "sensitive" again. It's definitely something physical inside my ear...

I see. Well, expect spikes apart from noise too. I recently just left when I got to the gym, even with earplugs it must have been like 70 db. But with that the problem is the horrible, soul-crushing shit they play on radio. Back in the day I had in-ear headphones and listened to metal, effectively blocking that out

I don't know why, but if I stay in very quiet for long, like a couple days, then my H goes way up. If I'm out and about, working, etc, then that aspect comes way down.

I was lucky. I was at backup #44. I am becoming an engineer if everything goes allright.

Fleeting tinnitus

Hang in there man. It's going to get better and better. I think the first fluctuations are fast and then the rest is slower. Stay positive. Some people's clears entirely at the 5-6 month mark.

@Rb86 I went to barber today and now my H is worse again. It has to be physical... Thanks for support!

Me and my big mouth. Vacuumed for a moment a T spiked. Fuck it.

Good luck on the interview man!

hey there - I've been having a loud T morning, after a quiet T day yesterday. The ups and downs of T.

@Jack Straw I forgot them at home. I would have used them this time because the movie was too loud at times. But I survived it. I'll see tomorrow morning if my ears are sensitive again.

How are they today?

@COYS Surprisingly good! Only slight increase in H and its normal now. No increase in T or anything. There has been improvement. Since last time I was in movies, my ears felt worse after.

Seriously need to think about going to TRT. I miss making my music so much.

I am so sorry what you are going through, I've been there it can take 10-12 months to heal. TRT has logical flaws as it does not seperate pain hyperacusis from loudness hyperacusis, and failed to show any difference then regular sound therapy. TRT is the equal of treating nerve damage with massage therapy, it helps relieve symptoms but it's not good treatment. Do proper homework before considering it.

It's weird, this has got to be a very common problem for musicians. But I don't find much about it online. I have no idea how to get back to making music. Maybe I won't be able to

I gotta try What I am cabable of,but be careful with it. I managed to create a beautiful melody..

Was it the frequencies that didnt agree with you or the volume?

@COYS it's the frequencies. The volume is not that loud. But my monitor speakers have very bright treble. I need to let my ears heal even more. Now my hyperacusis is worse again. I has to be physical issue within ear. It's like broken bone. Feels fine as long as you don't use it.

Unfortunately they don't do over 10khz test.

Cool to hear! Welcome to the club, did two tests in last 2 months in different booth, both went with "perfect" hearing results ... shi**y hidden hearing loss...

That’s great news !

Glad you enjoyed it!

When did you go to the movies?

@Ken219 Today. I went to see aladdin. I did not use earplugs at all. And now I am back at home and my T is unaffected.

Personally I’d say go but take ear plugs. If you feel the need to pop them in

If you were exposed to a loud noise and were fine, it increases the probability that you will be fine this time too. But do keep in mind

Proceed we caution, I'd say.
