I've had T since December of last year.
I'm not coping well with it and last night around 7pm when the hiss in my left ear gets louder I usually mask the sound with simplynoise on my iPhone with earbuds in.
Later in the evening both ears start hissing. My landlady goes to her room around 8pm so I have to keep the TV down. By 8pm the hiss was loud and I thought I was doing okay masking softly and listening to a TV show. Around 9pm I couldn't mask anymore while my show was on, so I had to tolerate the hissing if I wanted to watch the show.
Went to bed close to 11pm and the hissing was at its loudest ever. I have tried playing different nature sounds on my iPhone to help mask out the hiss when I'm in bed, but the speaker is small doesn't give off much of a sound and I need silence to fall asleep. What I usually do, is try and relax and know that in time I will fall asleep. That usually takes between 1 to 3 hours. Not last night, I was still awake at 4am, and was hoping for sleep.
I woke up at 9am to hissing in both ears I don't know how much sleep I got, and lay there hoping to fall back asleep. That lasted until 1pm and I got up depressed and no appetite. I'm struggling finding it hard to live like this, I don't want to face the day and hate living like this.
