That's a really tough nut to crack @Hamsti , but it's certainly the case we didn't won the lottery of life by hitting the tinnitus jackpot. Hasn't your tinnitus changed for the better since onset? Sometimes , if we're damn lucky enough, it takes quite some time before some tones fade in the background or even disappear.
@Christiaan Hm, difficult question. I do try not to monitor it, so I don't want to think about it. I can say that my tinnitus added a lot of tones since onset, and they keep on changing. Today its bagpipes again fml.
Bagpipes and marching band music... I don't think it's anybody's favourite genre. But I admire the way you manage to keep pushing through despite all of this and taking care of your baby. It's shows you have the courage and resilience to stay on top of this.
And though it may not seem like it, but time is on our side as we're on the cusp of many bio-medical and technological breakthroughs, such as Ebselen, new tDCS applications for tinnitus (at Regensburg university and at Antwerp Medical Hospital if you're interested), FX-322 trials that could take place in Europe in 2022 and Susan Shore's device could very well be commercialised in a year or two (fingers crossed!).
