    Haha yeah, I love that movie! Anything from Mel Brooks is fantastic (except for Robin Hood Men In Tights *shudder*) Mostly bad too because I was the lead singer in a rock band, struggling to get back to it now though sadly.

    T is tough and my issues stem from severe hearing loss in my right ear. My T is also severe. louder than life. I loved music and now my stereo system sits idle and unplugged. I can't even understand it anymore! Sucks to lose so much. Hope you get back to singing again.

    So you don't listen to any music at all? May I ask how your T came on too?

    Just in my car, to help mask. Not sure of SSHL. Might have been viral or what they call an ear stroke. Had some issues with pulsing in my ear years before, when I heard certain sounds. My left ear is ok. Also, I used earbuds and headphones for years, plus power tools, etc. Although, that doesn't explain how my left ear escaped damage? How bout you?

    I think it was noise damage but my ears keep clicking and feel blocked so maybe its ETD or a jaw problem? I won't know for another 5 months because it takes ages for an appointment here. How do you get on day to day? I like to make music but I find that the ear problems strain this greatly.

    Day to day is a roller coaster ride. Yesterday was one of the quietest days I've ever had, but these days are few and far between. Although, I've been having more of them lately. I use the BTS method, you may have seen here? "Back to silence." it may have some worth? To soon to tell. Vinpocetine & NAC, does help me though. Have an audiogram done when you get to an ENT.
