When you say loud tinnitus, do you mean it's so loud that you hear it all the time? As in, it's at a 8/10 in terms of intensity?

 

I hear my tinnitus 24-7 and its LOUD. I can stand on the side of the freeway and my tinnitus is louder. It's loud and intense and it is what it is.

 

Does it ever get you down? And how do you maintain such a positive attitude? I think it's really admirable

 

I came to this world as a soft spoken soul. I was the smallest guy in school, i dealt with bullies and i have experienced a lot of hardship. Tinnitus hit me in my teens and i was broken and it was ugly. I hated being the victim in life, i hated bullies, i hated limited thinking and limited actions.

I decided to change my life, at 15 joined the gym, took my first martial arts class and I evolved from there. My skin got a lot thicker as i grew older and more harsh realities came my way. My life has been challenging from day 1 and now that my tinnitus is EXTREMELY loud and horrible, I just let it sit in its corner and i tell it that, it's just a damn annoying noise and it won't bother me.

It's loud that it covers a good amount of my hearing. Why am I so positive? Because i use to be so negative and limited. I know how both feel and being positive with a purpose in life, gets me farther in life. I use to play the victim role as well and it limited me.

For me, I think of all the experiences I have faced and it made me the loving, TOUGH as nails human i am today. I come here to help people and I enjoy making a difference , even in one person's life

This is my life and how I deal with things, i see no limitation at all...with tinnitus or not. I don't advise anything, always lead your own path and ways.... My lifelong love for weights/fitness/martial arts is my driving anchor in being very positive.

Be well
