Oh snap, but now I'm thinking maybe I can take a blood test to see if I've been exposed, which could be a lot easier. I hope I don't sound toooo...
I have a doctor I like though were both in agreement that there's little he can do about the T. As to the solvents I'm gonna try and see if I can...

2 months in, after the first month it got better and settled, 3 weeks ago a new tone came in in my right ear which was until then mostly quiet,...
First day went well, didn't even need the hearing protection I brought, it is quite a bit quieter than my old job so this should be good for my...
@Naddesh, Congrats! I must admit sometimes I feel a little guilty that some members seem to conquer their fears faster than I have. Though I...
@Shawty, Thanks. I think I'll just have to wait out this anxious feeling for now, hopefully a positive attitude will help speed up the process....
@Gosia I think you're probably right. Perhaps now is the time to start learning coding so I can work from home one day. I start tomorrow and i'll...
@Inge Congrats! You should think about posting in the success stories maybe. Either way I'm glad to hear yet another member made it to a good place.
I hadn't had a spike for maybe a month, got a few during onset but that was all over the place so it concerned me less. Since I thought the T had...

Lately I've been getting better I think but am still having some serious hiccups. Yesterday I remember hearing the T and not really caring and it...
@Bazz where do you work might I ask? I've been wondering if I should protect mine more specifically at work, I'll probably just switch jobs though...
@I who love music I think you're right, I'll try. Measuring the sounds seems pointless at best and counter productive at worst.
@SteveSkis92 So you know, I had a tough day today. I read this again and it pretty much made me cry, in a good way. Just wanted to thank you...
The last couple of days I've been trying hard to make positive changes, I've got an interview coming up for a great job, getting back into dating,...

Huzzah! thanks for reposting your condition. Helps to know these sick spikes pass. As if being sick wasn't enough.
Think I'll pick up some Emergen C today too to see if I can't shorten this cold up. @MidnightOilAudio Ya this spike feels very similar to my...
So from what I understand it's common for a cold to cause a spike yes? and the spike should leave with the cold? I'd research through the threads...
My process. Me: Hey google, I'm having some weird but non troubling symptoms, that's nothing to worry about right. Google: O hey Sam, well lets...
@Aaron123 Thanks, this is what I figured but it's always nice to hear others have had similar experiences and get some reassurance.
It comes and goes and for the most part isn't troublesome. Just worried that it might be a sign of something else? I am feeling a little under the...
I'm for sure gonna start doing these, and I'm surprised the bent over row would help but that's a favorite of mine so all the better. Just...
All the freaking time.
