How is your sleep?

@tomytl, I wish at least I didn't hear mine 24/7 everwhere. Sometimes I can't hear certain things because of it.

I just know, if I feel the pressure in the ear males the T much more noticable, ig I don't feel this fucking pressure, perception of T is much more in the background even if T has the same level.

@tomytl, I feel like you already in a better place man.

unfortunately not, last thursday I thought there is an enhancement, but as for yesterday and today it's not.
It's so strange what is going on in this black boxed inner ear.
I'm very depressed and also have not the brightest thoughts, how can I accept again, that I got some more hearing damage nd T after this stupid event, I even didn't want to go... I blame myself...

How are you? Any changes or still the same?
I really hope you see someone in London soon who can assist you with your situation.
Do you eat like always? In my mood, I eat too much sweet stuff, I guess to compensate my feeling of unluck.
Tomorrow I try some Yoga lesson... I would like to sleep forever.. this is what I think every morning.

I might feel, that my ears are kind of worn out from all these setbacks and usage and age related stuff. I guess, soon I need hearing aids, but I am afraid that this will trigger my hyperacusis again... I feel very old.... usualy people think I am 35... but now all people realize that I am suffering.

@tomytl, You have two success stories from before. Of course, it doesn't have to happen the same way or within the same time each time, but having succeeded before shows that it's possible. Let's be patient and wait a little longer, as they say, "time heals all wounds."

@tomytl, Yes, my situation is exactly the same, unfortunately, there has been no change. Thank you. In the first few weeks, I lost an incredible amount of weight; my appetite was completely gone. Then I started gaining weight again. In the meantime, since I also quit smoking, that had an effect as well. How often do you use Xanax?

I stopped using Xanax about one week ago. I just swallowed a halp pill on Thursday, because I couldn't sleep because I went to bed too late. But Xanax isn't my favorite pill, I would prefere to have Temesta, but due to the drug shortage it's not available at the moment. The difference, it relaxed me far more, espescially it had a better effect on my pressure in the ear.

Xanax is more like headache and thinks are stuffed, it gives me some aural fullness... at least, it makes me tired.
But everyone reacts different. I just used 1/10 of the pack.

now I am listening to a strange soundpattern I found many years ago. It's a pattern developed by a researcher from University of Irvine CA. Sometimes it is chopping my T a little, which it makes it a little softer.

@tomytl, can you send me a link of that sound? Let me see if it hepls me.

Yes, time will help me cope better with all this mess, that's been my experience, but I'm growing impatient, especially after attending this event that I neither enjoyed nor wanted to go to, and I even protected my ears—what a joke...

@tomytl, many people of this community has the self guilt and that's understandable but it's not helpful either. It's better to focus on what's good for us. Our time is limited and we are not in this world only to suffer.

here is my very old post:

Be sure to mute the sound first and try it at very low volune.

@tomytl, it doesn't let me see. It says "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action."

hmm, this is strange.
I might upload it to wetransfer and send you the link.

How about your hearing and hyperacusis, have they changed to the better a little bit?

This evening, the pressure in my ears increased again. I was lying in bed, relaxing a bit, when suddenly a relatively quiet crack from the fridge startled me so much, I almost had a heart attack. Very strange.
