Thank you so much, Greg. I really appreciate you sharing this, and I’m sorry for the late response. Which noise cancelling headphones do you use? Thank you.
Hi Badger, thank you very much for replying and for your kind words. They honestly made me cry. I’ve been so distressed and anxious...
It's your risk to take and your decision to make.
Only you can understand the limits of your tinnitus toleration.
Only you can know if the enjoyment of listening and exposing to sound is worth the tinnitus tax you may need to pay.
It's an awful choice.
No, not without my open earbud that rests in my earlobe. With it, I can stop the hum by playing a constant low-frequency sound on Spotify while still hearing the TV. Without it, it sounds like Morse code, with the hum filling the gaps between the characters speaking.
I caught up with a guy who had tinnitus. He was probably a billionaire, but he seemed more interested in his property empire than in finding a cure. I wonder how he’s doing now.
As some of you might know, I’ve had tinnitus for a year and a half now, and I’ve been overprotecting for at least a year. At first, wearing hearing protection most of the time really helped me, and my tinnitus improved a lot. But now I feel like I should start removing them gradually. I miss not...
This happens to me all the time. My tinnitus has never gotten worse because of it. Rarely, I experience some brief tinnitus, but that might happen only once or twice a year, even though I bump my earmuffs daily.
