Thanks mate @Damocles

Never had an acoustic reflex test, but have read that it can worsen tinnitus. Hope things improve for you.

Thank you @Robster

@kingsfan I do this but they immediately return. Sometimes I focus on them and watch them slowly move out of my vision to appear smack bang in the middle again lol

In fact my first experience with PT was while jogging. I remember slowing down and noticing this intense whooshing sound coming from my ears. That night I could feel my heartbeat in my ears while trying to sleep. Been the same since. Sucks

HBD homie, time flies...

Thank you guys!

@Charburchar urgh a dirty KFC haha. You know I did the same thing last year. I hadn't had one in years, so I went a bought one - it tasted like shit. I'm sure it used to taste amazing!? I was very disappointed. P.S I also look 15 when I shave ;)

I can't seem to send you a message or comment on your posts anymore, so I'm commenting on here so you hopefully see this!

@Charburchar, good to know you're doing okay. I'm doing alright too. T is slightly elevated atm because it's "that time of the month" - luckily you don't have that issue with your T :p
As for sleeping routines, since I've started this new job, I've forced myself to wake up at 7:30am and to to bed at 11:00, even though I'm working at home till March.

And I don't actually have to start till 10:30. I thought it would be a good idea to get into a routine before I actually have to go into work. Hopefully, that way I won't struggle as much getting up. Anyway, have you moved into your folks place yet?

Oh dear I hope it's not too bad for you! That sounds sensible re reseting your sleeping schedule - I wish I had your discipline! How are you finding the new job btw? I haven't moved yet no, we are planning to later this year :)

@kingsfan I have mine as far in as they can go and the occlusion effect is still bad

If one has plugs custom-made, I know that one may get them shortened if one is a singer, so that one's own voice will not be too loudened. Maybe the same could be done to achieve the result you desire?

Thanku for the responses. I will look into getting some foam plugs & see if it has a different effect & if not then custom made

I totally understand. Last week my T was super quiet and I felt on top of the world! The past three days my T has decided to play up again and I can hear it outside if I stop and listen - so annoying. Of course this has made me feel like absolute shite. You're right about it being exhausting.

It is normal to have retracements. The important thing is the monthly trend.

@Bill Bauer - I need a little one of you in my pocket, so when I'm feeling down I can pop you out and speak to you. My monthly trendy is T getting softer and my dominant tones have mainly dissappeared. @Charburchar, sorry I've hijacked your post. X

It sounds like wind passing through my ears, keeps coming and going. No idea what's caused this, I've not left the house in ages

Figured out that it's probably a new variant of my reactive T or sound distortion, as it keeps happening when cars drive past

I've read all the classics like Lord of the Rings, Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies etc. Some cheesy sci-fi books like Slugs
Stuff by Irvine Welsh who wrote Trainspotting. Tbh I read whatever I fancy or see at the time. I've just finished reading Mythos, Heroes, and I'm about to start on Troy. And I'm also reading 'Modernism in Metro-Land.' So yeah, a really mixed bag.

Shame about reading giving you anxiety. :( but I understand why. If your H developed the last time you read, then it's bound to make you build a bad connection between the two. I have a similar thing about it being spring time. My T started in April last year, and when I think of it nearly being that time of year again, then that gives me major anxiety.

That sounds fascinating :O Coincidentally I was thinking about buying lord of the rings to get me started reading again (I've seen the films a thousand times - love em). Have you seen Trainspotting 2 btw?

I'm very similar - pretty much only read non-fiction over the past few years because I enjoy learning so much (also because of uni).

I'm sure we'll get over these anxieties soon enough :)

It's a bit different from architectural history but atm the National Trust are really struggling and they said last year that they were stopping the work placement programme I was on until summer of 2021 when they will look at restarting it.
So I jumped ship when I saw this job.

It's brilliant though. I work somewhere different week and get paid £1200 untaxed because it's a traineeship, but the pay goes up majorly once I'm qualified. :) tbh, as long as I'm working in the heritage sector, I don't mind too much what I do.

Haha it's fine - I often get notifications that disappear. I'm glad you got a job in your favoured sector :) it sounds super exciting!
