48+ hours of the calmest, quietest, least reactive T since November 2020. This is at about 3.5 years. Apr 11, 2024

      Reactive vs. Non-reactive = Pre-fader vs. Post-fader

      Tea kettle and electric wasps at work. The low thing is in there too but less audible among the ambient sound & music. Hardly any beeps.

      My weird-ass reactive bass note is A flat (~100 Hz), but sometimes it's E flat (~155) depending on what sounds have been "imprinted" on me.

        Weird, now it was at E natural... the radiator kicked on and it was a semitone lower than my tone. It moves around.

        If this was a bad hair(s) or bad synapse(s), I would think it would stay put. Inflamed membrane?

        Mine spiked yesterday and today it's a white noise fluctuating. The piercing sound stopped but it's torturing me when it comes and goes. The worst thing is that noone understands not the doctors not my family

      What does it mean that my onset was so slow it took me a few days to even notice it? Anyone else have that experience?

        I don't know as mine was sudden and brought about by injury. It makes me wonder if a slow onset be from the opposite. Was it preceded by a period of stress or anxiety?

      Work is hard. Loud environment + reactivity + over 10 KHz. Intermittent for a couple hours, but eventually it sings the song of its people.

        It will get easier Kieth. It really will. I know what it's like - we all do on here. Blimey, I wanted to die when I first developed T. However, I've managed to accomplish great things since. :) You will get through this. X

      Wish it would stay as quiet as it sometimes gets.

      It's like if you had hair in your mouth and were never able to spit it out, month after month.

      Feeling really down about everything right now. I keep going over everything that happened in November and I don't know how I hurt myself.

        Like Drachen mentioned, there’s no point dwelling on the past. What happened, happened.

        @Keith Handy sorry to hear you're not doing great at the moment. I still think about the day before I developed T - although I try not too. However, it does become easier accepting it. Please don't be too hard on yourself. X

      At work, it's quieter when around people who are funny & empathic, and louder when around people who are hell-bent on stressing me out.

      Small victory: Listened to an entire song without noticing any high-pitched squeals. Hoping later this year I can enjoy whole albums again.

        I think this is quite remarkable if you've had trouble doing so in the past. I hope it only gets better for you from here!
