We all miss it, but have to create a new environment in which live in. Like someone who becomes blind or paralyzed. It isn't easy. I takes time and practice.
I can still hear but its always there and it feels like its getting worse...sounds like almost distant sirens now... im so scared i cant even look after my lil girl properly.. i have doctors appointment but im scared they wont believe me
Tinnitus is a well known condition, so doctors are aware of it. The problem is what caused it? There are many ways to get T, so that's why it's hard to treat it. If it sounds like distant sirens, maybe it is starting to abate? Mine sounds like a siren blasting away and inch from my ear!
I sleep with a sound machine and 3mg of time released melatonin and an 1/8 of a mg of Xanax. I survive by keeping busy and being outdoors. It is difficult and not even 1% as good as my life before, but my family & friends keep me going. I love to cook and drink wine, so I prepare meals in my kitchen, with a sound machine and after a few glasses, my T is reasonably low, for few hours.
Find your inner strength and accept, at least for now, that this is your new silence. I sit in a quiet room and sing out loud, then yell, silence! And for a few minutes, I hear nothing. Try it. Sometimes I hum to distract myself. Whatever it takes to get by, do it!
