Don't worry, you will get better with time. I would take a moment to just take a deep breath, have some water and tell yourself "yes, I can hear it. It is there. It is real. I will not allow this to control my mood."
Hang in there bud!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I keep telling myself it's getting better since 7 months each day. I'm getting tired of this...
The hardest part is to work while having a spike (14 000 HZ you can't mask that shit). I am working as a software engineer and really need to concentrate hard.
I know what you mean, it's hard to mask my tinnitus sometimes too but honestly you'll get to a point where you won't even care. Like some days I can be in a situation with no music, or sounds and my tinnitus is just there but I don't really think of it.
It took me a while but it was only when I started letting go of my obsession not saying you are but I was obsessed with tracking my tinnitus, I would try and predict when I would have "good" days and make plans around that. I just started to tell myself "It's there, I can hear it. It's real. I will not let this take over my life." Hope that resonates!
I know it's very little consolation, but I'm glad you are at least getting mild days. Live it up on those days, and on the bad days just have comfort knowing you will also have milder days.
@Ricardo1991 This is something I have read very often. Funny thing is, I tried EXACTLY this starting November 1st. I didn't track my T anymore and just tried to accept it, hoping it would make it more bearable. But somehow it feels like November is a very loud month so far.
I started tracking it because I want to see if it gets better over long time. But that randomness just won't go away.I am nevertheless still hoping that a portion of my damaged hair cells will eventually recover. I know it is a very long process and it can take years.
Ya definitely, it could happen! I'm actually experiencing a spike since this weekend. Not sure what triggered it but probably stress. However, i'm okay.
