For One Beautiful Day I Had Silence

For one beautiful day today I had silence.

Yes, after weeks and months of 24/7 noises in my ears and head, my tinnitus finally decided to STFU for a day. And for today only, I started to feel normal again. The spring started to come back in my step; I began to start conversations with my work colleagues and it's been bliss. No 'just ignore it', no 'Keeping myself distract'. No mindfulness.

Actual silence.

It's days like today that I remember what a normal life feels like and it's for this reason we should be eternally grateful for those in the medical community who I hope are looking to return us to normal. It's days like today when we should all thank the team behind this page and all the excellent work that they do to help US.

We should offer them all the best support we can.

And it's days like today, when I know tomorrow more than likely I'll be plunged back into my own invisible Hell, that I am eternally grateful that my tinnitus Brothers & Sisters will be here to help pick me up and carry me through again, and I in return.

I love you all.

 

Even one day of silence is a really good sign for you long term.

 

Enjoy it. I hope you get to experience more.

 

Enjoy your silence, man. I've seen your posts. Selling your piano was heartbreaking for me. Hopefully you'll get more.

 

Allan you don’t know that. It could be over for you. You might just have won the lottery x 100000000! Amazing news. Like Markku I’ve never had a second since this started even approaching silence. I would weep tears of joy for just one blissful day of no screaming noise.

 

I’m really happy for you buddy. You have always been proactive and willing to help and the community needs more people like you. I hope it lasts.

 

Awesome!!! May your energy spread to us too... Your body is trying to heal itself!

......we are in the same boat... been reading posts, I am new here, just knowing I am not the only one here with tinnitus helps, it can get so bad at times, this is all so new to me, but I will try to do some neuroplastic brain training... no choice, the cure is not coming from a pill or sound therapy, but must come from within...

 

@Allan1967
Happy for you bro. I hope that you have many more to come

 

Wow this is wonderful news and very inspirational. Thank you so much for sharing! May you continue to experience silence. My wish is for all of us to experience silence again.

 

And what explanations do the so-called experts have for such a phenomenon?
Did the destroyed hair cells temporarily straighten up again, or what?
Or did the mythical habituation work for one day?

 

Wow from spike to silence, amazing! This is practically unheard of.

 

I hope it's contagious and we all get it from you!!!!!!!!
I am soooo happy for you!! Enjoy it and I hope it is a quiet day tomorrow and the next day and the next day...….

Always here for one another!

Once

 

Keep it up!

 

Glad you've had a great day. Now if we could just work on that mansplainig you'd be in good shape.

 

Bears repeating!

@Allan1967 -- After reading a number of your heartbreaking posts, I can't tell you how happy I am to hear about your day of silence. -- May you have many more!

 

“I’ll have what he’s having”. Seriously though, bravo. Happy for you. Where there’s one day, there’s more. Unlike a few naysayers, this forum is a help to me, in my journey to be able to relax and acclimate my being (body, soul and spirit) to the reality of my, for lack of a better phrase “new existence.” I recently had a dream that I woke up with my hearing restored and no T. Best dream I ever had. Do dreams come true? I’m glad yours did, if only for a day. Hopefully it bears more fruit.

 

Lol...what the hell is 'mansplaining' anyway?

 

I believe it’s an angry feminists way of calling out a man who is merely trying to explain something to her....I may be wrong in which case I would happily have a nice woman womansplain it to me.

How’s your tinnitus today Al?

 

It's like when a contractor at my work explained to me how to switch a freezer on at the wall plug. Assuming the person you are speaking to needs basic stuff or stuff they'd reasonably be expected to know explained to them because they're female.

This type of thing:



TBF it's quite hard to distinguish it from people who are just patronising in general and it gets overused. But I laugh when i see men posting saying this isn't a thing. Used to happen to me all the time. Tends to be younger women who get it a lot.

You definitely were not mansplaining to the comedian lady.

 

How’s your tinnitus today @Allan1967?

 

Something tells me that Allan is enjoying work and his T has gone. He’s left us all behind and who can bloody blame him. Congrats Allan. You’ve escaped from Tinnitraz.

 

Yeah I’m hoping that’s it, even if it does come back for him he might enjoy more silent days from now on which is also a big plus. Ha mate I love that word “Tinnitraz”

 

Yeah I’ve exhausted my Guantinnitus bay creation and I’ve noticed other users coining it so I’ve got to keep ahead of the game creatively!

 

Not too bad @Jcb. It's there but very faintly.

I stopped taking Venlafaxine on Friday, not sure if that's contributed or not.

 

That’s great to hear Allan, that may have something to do with it or at last your ears may be bouncing back from that spike from playing the piano. Happy for you either way.

 

Don’t take that shit ever again Al. Start exercising and eating well. Take advantage of being one step ahead of this motherf***er and stamp on its bloody head now.

 

That’s an interesting development, Alan, and I agree with Bam. Did you taper?

 

When a man explains something to a woman and it makes the woman mad because she thinks she knows everything and cant possibly ever learn anything from a man because she has severe mental problems.

 

@Allan1967 so happy for you that you had a silent day and now it is very faint! I hope there was something causing this that you can keep doing!
