Hey all,
Quick update on me . . For anyone that is interested first . .
My T came on suddenly from doing the valsalva to clear a blocked Eustachian tube - May 21st, 2016. I was initially depressed and angry, bought heaps of anti oxidants and vitamins and was feeling pretty down and out. I really do not think any of the supplements had any beneficial effect on my T as it is still exactly the same as it was. I habituated pretty quickly though, perhaps even after a week when I realised that a lot of musicians have T and still live more or less the same life - my biggest fear was having to change my social tendencies. I still go clubbing / loud bars (without plugs) every now again, maybe a few times a month and haven't noticed any permanent spikes or anything as of yet as a result, not to say it is not a risk that cannot happen. I know that I mentioned above that the supplements didn't help, but I still do take the vitamin pills, Zinc and anti oxidant (fish oil) before I go out, perhaps they work in a proactive sense and not reactive sense I was initially hoping for. I also avoid dancing right next to the speakers, closest I get is probably 3 metres for maybe a song if that and I do go for cigarette breaks outside too every hr or so. Interestingly, my T does diminish the morning after drinking but then I eventually notice it again as the day goes on.
Anyway, I came across this video on YouTube of homer having tinnitus and thought I would update - although he seems to have it pretty bad to be honest - I do hear my T all the time but when people speak to me their voices cover it.
