destiny..

Shitty genes :(

But I have his genes. This makes no sense!

Your destiny

Yes you have his genes, but you also have your mother's genes, which your father doesn't have.

Other influencing factors are not the same as well, like stress levels, for example

@Lex My mother still goes to Bon jovi concerts and shoots guns and tinnitus was an alien concept to her

Then you must have ancestors with bad genes. These genes skipped a few generations but you still got them. Or maybe the combination of all the factors in the different environments you move in made you more susceptible to T. Or maybe @dpdx is right, it's your destiny.

@Lex I doubt it. Despite my age (32) my grandparents and great grandparents are still alive. In fact, my genes are excellent. Everyone in my family is in great shape, tall, athletic, and zero tinnitus. I asked around. My destiny? I keep asking myself what the point of my life is, especially lately.

Ah then maybe you're just the unlucky one, the person who got the short end of the stick. Sucks to be part of the tiny unlucky minority. Also, maybe life doesn't need to have a point. Sure feels pointless to me now when almost 24/7 of it is spent on finding ways to minimize worsening and manage pain.

@Lex I hear you man, 24/7 Chinese water torture...
