Hello everyone!

Just wanted to pop in and say hello. I have had tinnitus issues for years, and always had VERY sensitive ears. I don't usually pay attention to my tinnitus and rarely know its there... But recently, while lighting a fire in the fireplace, my husband forgot to open the flue and voile! 5 smoke detectors go off! I'm am dealing with a pretty bad bout right now, (the last week). I'm hoping that the additional trauma isn't permanent and it goes back to "normal" soon. I just wanted to give a word of encouragement to those that are new to "t". I understand that it can be quite difficult to deal with some days, but I can assure you, a lot of it has to do with attitude, much like everything else in our life, lol. You are going to be fine! Whether you have tinnitus for a day or forever, you will still be okay. I have grown so accustomed to it that it would probably freak me out if it stopped altogether! Hang in there, you can do it!

 

Hi Joy, great to meet you, and what a great attitude you have. An inspiration

 

One smoke detector going off near me makes me a nervous wreck but 5??? Joy, please keep us posted...I hope it goes down back to baseline for you.
