crescentsky

this better be my last life. nothing will convince me to come back.

That’s all I be thinkin about

this is just complete shit

youtube shorts forever

@crescentsky i do enjoy that monkey that says oh no though.

How long did it take for your first T experience to heal

@Thizzle my first T was about 10 years ago in my 20s. It came on a day after concert + flight. I don't remember much about it. Probably lasted a few days at the most? I don't remember having much of a reaction to it. It was very short lived. My current T is a mystery, probably a combination of crap events and these two shit loud tenants, but I definitely did not go to a concert.

I would pay million bucks. Serious. Fuck, make it everything I have.

this shit poisonous T

There are devices that can turn a small appliance into a remotely controlled appliance that you can operate at a distance, like from another room. Check these out: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=appliance+controller&crid=OKWBH113849T&sprefix=appliance+controlle%2Caps%2C223&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

I've sometimes thought about getting one of these things, but for now I just wear ear protection if I want to use a blender or other noisy appliance for a few seconds. If more than a few seconds, I ask my husband to do it for me while I leave the room and put on Peltors. I don't vacuum at all. He does it.

@ECP that's so interesting! I never seen this before...I should look into this.

- Constantly have to question if I should eat this food/dessert because who knows if this will make the nightmare worse.
- Reject job offers with work travels because fucker T wants to corner and isolate you.
- constant gaslighting from family/friends/med pro
- can't go anywhere or else T will strangle you.

- deadly terrified of going to the dentist.
- T will punch you in the face even if you're just standing and breathing, minding your own business.
- can no longer sleep, think, & shit in peace.
- everyone & their grandmas expect you to pretend to be normal & not talk about T.

@crescentsky you've summed up this POS condition perfectly.

@gameover i agree. i’m the type of person where if i was told about chronic T i’d go way out of my way to ensure i never got it. I didn’t know until it was too late.

I wish there was some kind of warning as well. Maybe then I wouldn't have this nightmare that came out of no where.

I am more angry at those who blast insanely loud music and noise at parties, concerts, cinemas, department stores, cars. THAT is a real crime

I would like the peaceful exit right now.

These people cannot be suffering from T

This hits home. Could not have said it better myself. So sorry for all of us.

if tinnitus sufferers were just allowed to euthanize themselves then how would audiologists make their living?

@Varda, even if there was a suicide booth like in Futurama, most tinnitus sufferers wouldn't go there. The vast majority of those with tinnitus still enjoy life and do not want to die.

@2noist I doubt the people with tinnitus that still enjoy life aren't knocking down the doors of the audiologists' office wanting to try every latest snake oil tongue zapping beeper gizmo they have for sale.

What would the other health issues be?

@Juliane could be anything that is not T lol. I think I rather choose that. I was fine managing my non-T health issues.

@Juliane quadruple amputation, blindness, schizophrenia, permanent severe akathisia, daily panic attacks, and some neurological condition that makes it feel like every inch of your skin is on fire 24/7

I get it. I haven't had a haircut in almost 5 years. My hair is now about 2 inches below my nipples.

Don't under any circumstance get it cut with clippers. That's what caused my first catastrophic spike.

I asked my hairdresser to turn off his radio and not use the hair dryer on me. He did it because he is very nice

Such a harsh situation.. thoughts about self conclusion.. it's harsh. I have it too, and also more 'lightly' thought that life would take me away ('then it's not my fault').. I had this idea.. it's not natural for any organism, to wish to harm itself. Somehow this t pain.. pff just wish to escape. Wishing to not have to suffer.. man.. (i tell myself too) trying to go easy, a new day

@L along the way I have the same "romantic" idea about a peaceful ending caused by some sort of natural disaster. Not quite sure what kindof natural disaster is peaceful LOL

alien invasion lol, they can just kill me and use my dead body for experiments.

Sorry to read brother, same here. During the day, i go for walks, and immerse myself sometimes in gaming. While immersed in a game, it kinda makes me forget about life for a while. At night, sleep has been difficult, because then there is the auditory stressor/pain/damage. I try to let my thoughts calm down, and sometimes use sleeping meds.

But well.. the idea that it wouldn't get better, is so rough. Hope & faith..
I've heard about acceptance, and i do find it an inspirational idea, but when there is really such pain/noise, i ask myself.. how can anybody 'accept' this? It's just so discomfort pfft.. I guess.. enduring would be more the word than acceptance for me.

If i can at least sleep well, that be a really good thing. Sorry, it's a bit of a ramble.. going day to day.. may we be well some day again

I'm suprised she doesnt, all that air mileage and concerts must take a toll on her hearing.

She might have it to some extent. They don't often talk about it.

SIGH

It’s difficult but possible, who knows

sigh

don't think so :( I tried to contact Mayo clinic but they told me to pound sand.

I kinda feel this way too. I feel damaged. The only thing that helps me.. is the hope (with plenty of rest, and natural lifestyle) that it can get better somehow some day. What else can we have but hope.. gosh.. please try to go easy on yourself. Going day by day..

Good sign. People did improve well past 2 year mark after having no improvements. Man, you are among many I'd like to see improvements. You had no sound trauma. You gotta improve at some point. I just cannot see how you would not.
