I Can Sit without Masking — So Happy

Since my tinnitus spiked in August 2017 I haven't been able to do anything without masking my tinnitus. It would get on my nerves, trigger me and make me angry or sad.

But my spike has gradually faded and I have gotten used to the fact that I can now hear my tinnitus more than I could before. And I just noticed the other day that I sat in complete "silence." The only sound was the sound of my tinnitus on the right ear. But it didn't bother me at all. In fact I didn't even notice that it was there until I realized that there was no sound in the room at all. No music, no masking sound from my masking-app. No nothing except the silent noises "silent" rooms always make when there's no other sound to be heard.

I guess I'm making it towards habituation once again and I'm so damn happy. Maybe I will be able to fully live in peace as I did before that spike from hell.

Anyway I just wanted to share happiness. And maybe it can give those of you who suffer from long lasting spikes a little hope.

 

So very pleased to hear you’re on the up again! Long may it last!!!! xx

 

This is sooooooo good to read! So happy for you!

 

Thank you to both of you!
