I assume Time Enough at Last. The last few minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLoNGRVeC7Y

@gameover one guy told me. How loud is going to get. It’s not going to make my head explode. He says after 3 years he just lives. Eats and endures the major spikes. They say that it’s insuring the spikes that leads to habitation.

@gameover I find it hard to accept that my friends are that much different when I know that they are .. they are not impacted by food or clenching or touching the side of your head. I feel like I’m wrong but I at the same time that I need to learn to eat and go out and let it do what it is going to do…

@gameover / I just don’t have a life that will make me think or live different. This is a problem for me. I cut everything out of my life. I cannot reinvent my life. This is FN crazy. The stupidity that got me here drives me insane. Sorry for all the typos and grammar errors. I waiting to see an ENT. Another waist of time!!

I know this feeling well. One day in December I woke up and it was so quiet I thought it had gone. I had to listen for several minutes to find it. Those days are well and truly gone, it's 10/10 24/7 now.

:| sorry

This is so true. I feel like an Alien on this planet. I was so happy. I try so hard not to give a shit about this noise. It consumes me beyond words. It’s just to loud and worsens. I have not been able to enjoy anything. The last few days 24/7 stress. Trying so hard.

I was a manger for 23 years. Had to step away. Try all you. Can not to leave work. Besides the money work is a good and needed distraction. Not to say I did not feel like you do everyday when I was working.

How do you treat that nerve damage. I think I have nerve damage too due to high bilirubin in blood. Gilbert Syndrome.

This is just my conclusion after reading some things. I don’t have pain specifically in response to sound.

@Pinhead i think i have nerve pain / damage too but im not sure what to do about it. i thought tinnitus was just supposed to be a sound. id be managing better if it was but some days the pain and pressure is insane.

I hate to agree with you here. I had have tried everything too. Volume and reactivity is everything. I want so bad not to give a shit!!

That is why it is the worst kind of gaslighting when "tinnitus therapists" tell us that our mindset and mood define our T volume. Utter BS. It has nothing to do with it. If your T fades, and I sure hope it will, it can do so while you are thinking happy thoughts or wishing you had never been born. T is indifferent to our feelings, as are facts.

Have a Nice Life songs are always so harrowingly beautiful. Music sometimes detail my experiences & feelings better than words can. Post more songs that relate to you if you're up to it, I'd love to listen :)

My 2 year is May 1st.

Sounds like a good time; I wish I could join you.

May 14th is my two year worsening anniversary. Well done on reaching three.

My standard answer: Not good. Can't do much of anything about it, though. Not really living anymore.

:(

Sounds like it. Mine just got worse and worse. Then Noxacusis kicked in.

I started w/o H then I got it in one ear and then both ears and now I get pain @ certain sounds. And now every few days I get this pressure or fullness. It's a fucked up journey.

@Utdmad89 What was your progression like? I think I may just be 'hyper-aware', but it's incredibly hard to tell.

Yeah. For me that level of suffering makes it simply impossible and impractical.

@BB23 Why would you want to have kids first?? Seems that would not be a priority when suffering.

@Pinhead i find those self-help content useless as well.

@Utdmad89 @RunningMan I can't explain this to you, I was brought up differently. And we have a crowded extended family who would take care of things.. Also. I'm in constant physical pain with severe insomnia, that kinda puts some things into perspective. Or maybe I'm crazy from sleeping an hour a night...
