Really? How come mine spikes from caffeine? I might start drinking green tea, if that's the case...Although I'll have trobalt on standby lol
I'd just go back to my wonderful happy life with no anxiety, nights out with my friends, I'd smile more, have fun more and get some sweet sweet sleep

It would end up being the same as it was when I lost some of my anxiety induced sound sensitivity.
Day 1: Oh lawd it ain't there any more
Day 2: Yes still not there
Day 3: Already forgot about it ever being there.
I would be happy but I would stop being massively happy after a week of furious masturbation to silence

I have days of silence. Yesterday the morning buzz disappeared at 11.30am. Then total.. absolute... silence. It's wonderful. I turn off all the cd players which, on T days, play continuously, and, if it's the weekend, I sometimes do nothing - I just enjoy the silence - often staring at the sky or into the distance. I stay up until I almost collapse because I don't want the day to end. I know that the following morning the buzz will be back, that it could be loud & that it may not go away - and so I make the silent days last as long as possible. Usually I can't last longer than 3.30am & that's what it was yesterday/this morning - finally not being able to stay awake and enjoy it any longer 
) Today the buzz went completely at 10.45am and I had just over 6 hours of silence before mosquito like sounds appeared in the distance a few minutes ago - it may get louder or it may disappear again.

I love reading your comments, because people seriously don't understand how much a cure would make people. I honestly wish we would all be cured, so we find true happiness.
I'd go after my dreams and wouldn't stop until the day I die!
I'm still trying to do that now, but H and T sets it's limits.
In the end, nobody can say I didn't try.
On another note, I can't believe I just began to live out my dreams before H, T and pain hit me. What a bloody pisser!

It wouldn't change my life much.
I'd spend more time on the treadmill, I guess. I'd be $1500 richer, as I spent that much on a Waterrower to replace the teadmill for an indoor workout. I need a cardio workout on a machine that doesn't make a lot of noise so I can watch TV at normal volume during the workout.
For me the best thing I ever did was "give up" on the hope that my T would go away. Once I accepted it was here to stay, and that I would be hearing an 11.5 kHz tonal hiss in my left ear and about a 6 - 8 k square wave in my right ear, life got better fast.
Sometimes I think I miss the silence, but there's nothing I can do about it. So I don't really think about what I would do if my T disappeared, because it's not productive for me.

At first I would cry for hours..
..thanking nature for granting me a second chance.
Then I would go out and socialize. Enjoy nature, listen to the wind and approach strangers. I'd open their blinded eyes on how beautiful life can be if one is healthy and not in utter misery. I'd tell them to grasp the moment. To forget about money. All that really matters is health and happiness. Share and care with those beings around you. After that, I'd pursue my dream.
And no! I would never forget where I came from. I would NOT abandon my fellow sufferers. I'd do anything in my power to raise awareness and find a cure for T. That would be my new dream.

Good man! Just a shame people without tinnitus aren't as compassionate. I wish the awareness for tinnitus was as big as cancer.
Well, here's hoping within the next 5 years there's a real treatment for us, so we can go back to a normal life.
Actually, nothing other than just not think about tinnitus. Otherwise, my tinnitus doesn't affect my life anymore. I'm doing everything I'd be doing without tinnitus.
With that said, diet doesn't affect mine at all. In that way, I'm blessed.

@Danny Boy it's pretty loud and the pitch seems to change every second. It's really hard to mask. It used to drive me to a point where I really thought about suicide a lot. But thanks to a good network of support from friends, family and CBT counseling, I got through it. And now I guess I've habituated enough to where I don't think about it 24/7 and when I do think of it, it rarely bothers me.
That said though, I also don't pretend I have it as bad as some. Because I don't have H, which sounds like it's worse than T.

my overall health and quality of life would go up a tick. I don't think much else would change, I don't have much interest in loud live music in general anymore anyway, and there isn't much else that tinnitus keeps me from doing.
