Hi, My Name Is Judy.

I have completely cut TV out of my life. I miss that so much. Any suggestions on how I may be able to watch a little TV? The tinnitus has gotten so much lower but I'm afraid to watch TV.

 

Hi Jude,
Welcome to Tinnitus talk,
Just have it on low and just watch what programs you like then see how you get on...lots of love glynis

 

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I really needed that. Change is difficult but I know I will get there. Thanks again.

 

If you find TV bad for your T, perhaps it is not truly the T that is the problem, but that you may have some issue with hyperacusis. Many people develop H after T, including myself. But over time, this form of H tends to fade even if T stays. That happens to me. My H was severe when it started. I couldn't stand noise of any kind, TV, restaurants, movies, parties, dish washing, not even my wife's soft voices when speaking too close. All sounds seemed too loud. Ya, I had to watch TV at the lowest of volume. I had to wear earplugs wherever I went. But forum members advised me not to overprotect from normal sounds. So slowly and grudgingly the earplugs were coming off. Then H faded within the year it started while my ultra high pitch T stays. But my body is now hardened to this T and I don't give a dime to it high or low. I now live a normal, productive and absolutely enjoyable life. I am going fishing now. Life goes on. You will too. Stay calm and positive. Things will improve. See you all later. Take care. God bless.

 

Yeah i can only think hypercausis would give you trouble watching the tv.
