But there's no silence any more. Instead of me and the trees and maybe the song of some robins, it's Eeeeeeee eeeeee eeeeeeeee!

I was working alongside a stream today. Pure heaven!

Life seems so different now. Hopefully we'll adapt.

@New Guy: You will.

Please, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EabDvK--C78
I hope it'll brighten up your day.

2 year doesnt mean anything! T is completely unpredictable it could fade or get better in 1 or 2 other years so their always hope

Sorry about that :( I also think mine will be permenant, I am about 99% sure of that :/

I'm not protecting my ear because I need to get used to this stuff. This construction work will likely continue for years. That's the way it is around here. I think they're far enough away that the volume isn't loud enough to harm me. But emotionally I'm a wreck. The sound is so horrible.

6 hours non stop, they are going to get a guiness I guess. A forklift operates in my neighbourhood at a construction site but it's only for an hour or two every day. The beep is annoying but it's a bit far away from my house.

Could the beeps have been dangerously loud? Or am I responding to all high-pitched beeps regardless of volume? The latter seems the more logical

Hospitals are scary enough. But I'm suddenly horrified by the idea of hospitals as places full of high-pitched beeps. What would a patient with H do in such a hell?

I'm going through something very similar. He believes I have T but doesn't believe it's as debilitating as I claim. Why would I make this up! I just want to get on with my life, I hate it.

Exactly. Dealing with T is bad enough all by itself. We shouldn't also have to prove that our suffering is real.

The worst thing is when they say it is nothing.... -.-' I wish it was nothing

I hope everything is ok.

My ear felt so good for two weeks because I've had time off from work. Now it hurts and I did it to myself.

:( :(

My ear pain is much less now. Lately I am easily panicked. Every loud sound automatically scares me.

I used to look forward to the summer: longer days and a reduced work schedule. But with H, I dread the summer. Long hours of daylight mean longer work days for the construction workers.

That is the worst when your own home isn’t even safe. By the way, my spouse isn’t supportive either and yet she says she gets T sometimes.

Sometimes is the key word. There's a world of difference between 'sometimes' and 'every second of your life.'

I once went to a pizza place that had the door chime on max because there was only one employee working.

Booby traps are everywhere.

O'Reilly auto parts has a doorbell set at head level so it rings directly into your ear when you open the door... Fun stuff.

Imo H is a physiological change in our bodies to get us to avoid noises that would further harm our ears.

Did they take that one down for you?

Yes, it was deleted by staff at my request.

I have hope for you. Imo continuous noise is more scary. But it is scary to spike especially if they last a long time

he's looking for some attention, don't give it to him ^^

Yes Julien, you're right. If only he would yell quietly.

DH = Dear Husband or Damn Husband, depending on the context.

Your husband sounds very unsupportive and I am sorry for that :( nobody should threathen you, you should not accept that....you do not deserve it. Hug.

He is disabled and has a lot of anger. When I was in perfect health, all was well. But now I have problems that he can't see or understand, and instead of accepting and commiserating, he throws tantrums.

This bleeping car is so bleeping fast, You gotta bleeping try it. It's so bleeping awesome. Ouch-ouch-ouch-ouch! Even in the other room it's still painfully loud because the wall is thin and the door is hollow.

I'm trying to keep my anxiety down about high-pitched beeps, and the toaster goes and beeps a foot from my stupid head!

Why does everything nowadays have to make high-pitched beeps? I try to be careful, but I keep getting surprised by beeps in unexpected places.

I hear you Dij111. There's a new building going up on my block and I think some of the noise is from them.

Never been there. I live in Europe. Would Like to visit IT one day

Although I don't envy you that much.. BC I live by the sea in the most beautiful town in Croatia :P i love my sea :)

DH thinks it's coming from another apt, but there's no way to know which one. It starts everyday in the early evening and continues until sometime after I've fallen asleep. I try telling myself it probably isn't hurting me, but it gives me anxiety. What timing! This new noise started only a few days after the blast in my ear that is giving me a scary new symptom.
