Third anniversary in this forum but I've had tinnitus for 30+ years (mild). Now, it's pretty brutal, I think, and it takes my thoughts away every day. Still hoping and working on it getting better.

Damn those cars and tucks. I was walking down a pedestrian street a truck wanted to drive past and honked right in my ear. Got really anxious and angry. Now my ears are screaming louder than ever (it seems… I hope it's just my alerted nervous system giving fodder to the tinnitus).
Sometimes it makes me both cynical and indifferent – and I know it's not good for me and my surroundings. Trying to spare the ones I love from it as much as possible.
Today it's like the running motor drone sound and the high-pitch string sounds are competing who can be the loudest. My right ear has been feeling different since the car horn some weeks ago. I'm worried about hearing loss. I don't think the car horn is the reason but maybe the straw that broke the camel's back.
Sat in the garden listening to the wind in the tall pine trees. Is it green or brown noise, I don't know, but it was soothing to my tinnitus ears. Almost made it disappear for a moment there.
A motorbike honked its very loud horn right next to me. Now I'm worried that it has caused a permanent spike
it's kind of loud since it happened yesterday … I had no chance to put in earplugs
I am getting more days where my tinnitus is not the first thing I think about in the morning. But it's still on my mind at least once a day. It's been more than 2½ years since it got worse.
Having a rough day w. self-blame.I want to be kind to myself but it's hard when I feel I messed up.Going to bed now.Grateful for this space.
Just came home from some hours spent with an old friend. Felt like T was gone. Now I'm home and T is back kind of loud. Grateful for friends
Some days I can forget about it for several hours even half days! And then moments later it stresses me out and makes me worry.
Having a bad day today and it makes me worry a bit – and that makes the day even worse. Let me try to relax a little, okay?
I wouldn't mind if family members sometimes asked how I'm doing. When I don't complain they think I have been cured? Or maybe afraid to ask.
At music camp for kids. It's all acoustic but I wear ear plugs. It's fine but I'm bit sad to hear loud T on top of the kids' beautiful music
Will I get just one day without being annoyed with my T? I know asking that question might be counter productive to my wish come true.
Had a quiet T day being busy with practical matters. Felt great! Now I'm taking a well deserved break and T is very loud!!! (I'll be okay).
Thinking about you all and wishing you a good night or day, where ever you are. I am having hard days here and hope for better day tomorrow.
Gone through months of stress and was hoping for a relief but now life is a living nightmare. T on top, of course, and I feel so much worry.
Still have increased loudness due to the cold I got. It's driving me bonkers.
Got a bad cold two days ago and now I have stuffed and painful ears. T is loud and I can't sleep. Trying to calm myself down. Wish me luck
Took my tinnitus to the symphony tonight. I wore my musician's earplugs -25 dB and enjoyed most of the concert.
So much stress and so many worries in my life at the moment makes it very hard to handle tinnitus also. I'm searching high and low for hope.
My family is compassionate about my troubles but still I try not to bother them too much with complaining. So I'm grateful for this space.
Aw man my all time favorite band is coming to town this summer. But it's loud electronic music and I'm afraid it would worsen my tinnitus.
I have had a cold for some days now. Louder than usual T + my hearing seems down a little. I keep asking my family to repeat what they say
Tom, for your information, I donate to the community every single month. And yes, I am very successful. If the stock goes to $40 I would be very happy for my hearing potentially and my pockets. But hearing is wayyy more important to me than money is.
It's hard not letting bad days bring me down but reading supporting posts here helps a lot. :thankful:
I had a couple of really good days this week – but yesterday and today are pretty bad.
I wish my T was more predictable. I can have a quiet moment followed by full blast, followed by moderate levels.

I think I have downloaded and subscribed to way too many soundscape apps this month
I really enjoy listening to them---so $ well spent! -
