I'm not about to pretend I know exactly your situation. But I do know that overprotecing my ears caused me alot of anxiety and made things exponentially worse. Find a distraction if possible.
I am not oveprotecting. Flipping a switch and flushing the toilet actually hurt my ears. T consists of 7-8 sounds, loud, reactive. I think I am spending my last money on hookers and other stuff and then I am done.
2 months is way too soon to give up! You need to give your brain time to figure things out. I know it is a hell on earth. I'm in the thick of it right now too and every day is miserable, but it will improve with time.
Thank you for the encouragement guys. I do appreciate the support. My tinnitus is bad. I mean - I was really awarded with one of the worsts Ts out there. Started with a mere hiss that I would have habituated fairly quickly with. However, it is super reactive, I spiked many times for no reason, I have Hyperacusis which complicated matters.
I was constantly getting worse for no apparent reason. I kept adding new tones every 1-2 weeks. Now after 30 minutes cafe stay and 2 hour Family Christmas gathering - it is the worst. I cannot even count how many sounds I have and they are all intrusive and reactive , except 1-2. I have not achieved anything in life yet, but I doubt I am going to achieve it with this torture.
I have been tortured by so many health problems this ear and this is the worst . I am a human being after all - I do not know how much time I will endure this.
I am really sorry you have to struggle as well guys. I hope at least for you things do get better so you can live normal lives.
