T came back?

5 years - 15 years. Either way; it's not for life!

Because sadly, life isn't fair. You can be a bad person and lead a happy, easy life. Or a good person and have a difficult life. And also, there's a lot of gray area between good and bad.

I never said you'd receive tinnitus from every different sin you make.

Bad things happen to good people, usually the way it works.

And he murdered his ears with loud noise his entire life.

@bill 112 exactly I guess some of our ears are weaker than others that's why we got t

I don't believe it has anything to do with weakness but more so a different form of damage.

Oh wow thank you! I'm on my cell phone that's probably why I never saw that @Markku

There are cases betty!
but you gotta know that even if it doesnt went away, you will get better, have a great great life and get over T, truste me :) t is no longer a problem for me.

@Mario martz do you wear earplugs eveywhere you go?

Nop! but i just keep them close to me just in case :) in my backpack or inside my pocket.

You'll forget most of the stuff you had to force into your memory but the tough times that high school gives you, you wont forget those and those are life lessons. One way or the other, it teaches you that no stranger out there will be there 24/7 to help you out. You're all alone when it comes to taking care of your life, my experience.

@MikeGreen true. Only yourself can keep you safe.

Most likely yes. But hey, life is short...

And it won't be permanent, so don't worry about it.

Surely you are not, I pray all the time.

I just pray for improvement,not a cure just enough to feel good again.

I pray for improvement and a potential treatment in the future. Not for it disappearing mysteriously, I just don't believe in such a miracle and don't want false hope.

Donate $1000 / month

Depends what organizations, but I think hearing loss might be worthwhile. I believe that curing hearing loss will cure many people's tinnitus. Not sure if a cure for either is in the near future though, or that lack of money is the inhibiting factor in the research.

@SilverSpiral thanks for your advice

Lol this is what specialists without T tell you,sit in my shoes for an hour and tell me it's just my perception.

@bill 112 exactly or have it be one of their daughters or sons and they cant do anything to really help. You can't take no chances with tinnitus either you protect your ears for life or risk making it louder. For diseases or symptoms you can take medication to help sleep etc but for tinnitus you also risk it getting worse by taking medication. Also there's nothing that eases tinnitus.

I recommend getting westone musician's earplugs with the filters set to -25db. These things changed my life :)

I use those ones and I'm satisfied with them: https://www.alpinehearingprotection.com/earplugs/partyplug/ I'd say they are as efficient as the custom moulded pair I've got

@Julien87 thanks ive been actally eyeing those

I believe Stanford might find the cure for hearing loss.

Never have and never will,ATA is a complete joke!Didnt they just spend thousands on CBT research for T?

That's what the ATA do with your money,piss it away on stuff like this.

@Amber I went to stanford website and I really like what they are doing. I'm going to donate to them. They do say they need more funding because most people don't fund for hearing as it is not deadly. Wish everyone would donate at least 1 dollar it really makes a difference.

Stay strong Betty. Better days are ahead.

@OnceUponaTime thank you I appreciate it. It's tough
