        I can life with Tinnitus as my dosent bother me. I am just bothered by TMJ and ETD. It causes ear pain and pressure. I consider it worse than T.

        not that bad.....it only hurts slightly when people talk loudly or laugh loudly.....I can easily live with it.....T on the other hand kills me slowly.

        I think ETD is worse than everything i had so far. For me T and H are not bothersome at all. H is fading and T is not meh, not bothersome either, but ETD is awful. It really messed me up for good. i stopped eating, going outside, etc etc

        You say that very often. Do you repeat it to help it sink in or are you just unable to accept it?

        @Red I also say that sentence to myself often and it is because I want to help it sink in and accept it.

      I acquired T 9 months ago and it has faded quite a bit. I'll be 51 in 2 weeks. So, DPDX, hang in there. The odds and youth are in in your favor BIG TIME! From the research I've done, if your T changes in volume, brain location, etc. and sounds like electric static most of the time, these are all positive signs for recovery. (3 of 3)

      I acquired T from a loud power tool in a confined space. You've got youth on your side. With a little patience, you'll find your T less annoying in combination with hopeful fading. I've been to concerts, shot many weapons in the Army with little protection, and worked with loud power tools. (2 of 3)

      Hello DPDX... I stumbled across your post in another TT article then followed up on your progress to date. I hope you don't mind the intrusion. I want to encourage you that the odds are in your favor of this being temporary. There are so many stories about people of all ages recovering completely from T. (1 of 3)

        Why yes! If it helps, try carrying your house/ car keys in your hand and go for a long walk. When your T starts to give you grief, just give your keys a jingle. That's what I started doing last year through the rough patches. Hope this helps,- Richie
