I'm lucky to have a campus with lots of nature trails and forest routes. Getting up in the morning after breakfast and walking for a few hours has been great.

I aim for at least 12000 a day. I never have below 10000. I’m an avid walker though. :)

@Steph1710 that is amazing! I sprained my ankle in October so I'm still working back up to my full potential. I ended up hitting 16k today

Going for walks in nature has been incredibly therapeutic for me. I don't hear my tinnitus outside and it's peaceful.

Yes me too, or it at least doesn't bother me outside. Its so nice

The mechanisms behind fleeting T are so confusing.. I haven't had any episodes of it in awhile but it's always so strange when it happens.

@kuromi yeah! I haven't had it in months and then 3 times in 1 day!

I haven't experienced any spikes in response to noise personally, but from what I've read the reactivity and even spiking stabilises and gets less common with time. Hang in there, friend!

@kuromi thank you!!! I think it mightve been from me being cold and wet...maybe it made my muscles tense?

@Jebbis I'm sure either of those things are possible. I know it's hard, but try not to analyse any fluctuations you may have, sometimes these things can happen without any reason at all. =) For example, in the beginning my T would seem more prominent at different times randomly with no trigger, and even now, it's normally more noticable in the evenings even if I'm in my room all day.

If aliens know how to fix hearing loss and tinnitus, then someone take them to our leader.

It's that naive moment where you stop and look at your life and think 'Hah, bad things could never happen to me.' They DO, and after this experience, I'm fucking grateful for what I have.

There you go. That's the spirit. Enjoy the good days and build on them.

Just nod if you can hear me - is there anyone at home?

*I got what you meant. I actually sung your post, when I read it last night* ;)

Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all. Together we stand, divided we fall.
