@Sodlin I was exposed to like a construction reel while I was operating it for a short while. But yeah it's better now, been able to sleep better now too :)

@Sodlin Thanks, I hope so as well. Night sleeps have been pretty restless :/

Same, same. But more than 5, closer to two weeks :(

Hey, at least you had a good day I guess. :/ This condition is so damn relentless, I'm going through a spike currently that doesnt want to fade away no matter how hard I seem to try, sleeping quality is decreased too. All we can do is keep our hopes up I guess.

Yeah exactly, I think I've realized this too. The more I'm scared of the sound the more likely I will spike. There seems to be some correlation there.

@Sodlin Yes you are so right, thank you for reminding me. It's also anxiety that starts the downwards spiral, thinking of the cumulative damage and all, times I should've used ear pro but didn't, talking hours of exposure to 80db noise. But all that matters is what I do now and still doing my...

@DorianP No humming, no rumble, just this loud hissing, like a dying lamp :/

Reading this, I think we might have a very similar spike in terms of characteristics, this gives me some more hope that this will in fact subside, thank you :)

Couldn't've said it better myself. 1 step forward and 2 steps backwards is exactly what it feels like :/

90-95db personally already sends me into panic mode especially if its sudden. I realize I'm definitely not over T in anyway that I've previously falsely stated. It's more that my true setbacks and panics come in waves that I seem to ride subconsciously and start dwelling and worrying. :/

We seem to be quite similar in the fact that I also didn't use this site at all because I was generally doing fine, but now with this mega spike I'm back here again. So it goes. Hopefully this passes soon, I'm tired of this monthly emotional rollercoaster which is T :/ I'm glad you got a lot...

@Scruffiey Well I can say you were right. I was not smart to be reckless like this. And of course I don't want it to get worse, navigating through a world full of noise seems to be a near impossible task. :grumpy: Unfortunately it seems to get worse way quicker than it getting better. I'm tired...

Yeah. But I think it was a bit worse this time, I was right next to a loud sound source probably closer to 90db for like at least 30-45 seconds without proper hearing protection, only a hood, if you can even call that protection :/ I'm of course hoping this passes like all the other times but...

I can relate. This spike I'm going through is very persistent and wakes me up at night :/

That's good. I was feeling good too, but then I encountered a setback again. And it feels like I'm at square one. But I know this happens everytime to me and that this will probably pass. But it doesn't make it any less annoying and draining though :(

Not good. I'm going through a setback again unfortunately. I'm so tired of this shit. :grumpy:

@dreamer16 sorry to hear that :/, hopefully it gets better for you soon

@dreamer16 hey thanks for asking. I'm doing fine, I guess. How are you? :)

Yeah tinnitus can definitely fluctuate when sick :/ , hopefully you get well soon.

Same has happened to me many times, it's weird how I manage to bump myself into thing so much. Just know you're not alone :LOL:

@MindOverMatter Yeah Norway is probably a different story. When I said this though, I kinda meant the job market in general in the world hasn't been the greatest at the moment. I mean that the requirements of skills/skill ceiling for jobs has been quite high of recent, not to mention the...

@MindOverMatter It's sadly not the best situation in the job market to be leaving jobs now though :/

Keep that hope up, I'm sure the time will come some day :)

Sounds like you are better off without that group I think :LOL:

@henkess what the hell, not "bad" enough to be with the group. What kind of gatekeeping is that? :LOL:

@Scruffiey I feel like its been ok, and I barely listen to music or audio as much as I used to anymore through headphones. That's why I use a balanced approach I don't know what else to do. Probably caused by loud noise, but it was loud I listen to and I listen 1-2% volumes always now for years...

@adpolandam Yeah sorry if it came off a bit ignorant. That's good that you can give up using headphones. I wish I geniunely could but at the moment it doesn't feel like I can :/

@Scruffiey I don't really know what to do instead, like for specific situations its not like I can listen through a speaker for all situations. It's just not practical for me. So yeah I don't know.

@MindOverMatter Exactly those thoughts it's just feeding this condition, the key is to not even let it get that power. Don't let it have any bit of it and stand your ground. It's definitely so much easier said than done though.

That's awesome man, hope the good mood continues! :)

Yeah, not saying I have ideal protection though being outside but yeah...

@Sodlin it did actually get a bit better, thanks. Trying to keep the hope up. :)

Yeah I get what you mean, I get that noise when I put my teeth together really hard for example. Geicer counter sounds awful. :/ I hope your T improves and stays away again.

What rumbling exactly? Personally I can hear like rumbling like humming, when I try to strain my jaw. But I think I have always had that.

for me its high pitched ee, but it also started with a fire alarm sound which was really loud in my head, that first night with tinnitus was devastating to say the least. I hope yours improves further. Best wishes.
