New Participant

Hello everyone,

I stumbled across this forum and to my surprise, I find that I joined in 2013!!!!

In brief I have 50% deafness in both ears and as well as severe (relentless) tinnitus.

I wear hearing aids (Widex) which allow me to have one to one conversations; without them I can hardly hear anything due to the tinnitus more than the deafness.

Anyway, I won't rabbit on.

I hope I can participate here.

Wishing all here well

JaiSea (JC are my real-life initials)

 

Hello @JaiSea
Welcome back I'm sorry that you find yourself here again.
I too have been having a rough time of it lately
I hope things get better for you

Hang in there Stay Strong

T has gotten worse since I was here(2013), however, last night for the first time in a few years, I actually had a few hours rest(sleep?) and the T is not so aggressive as it has been.
This happens once in every 3 months or so.
So I am hoping this may stay.
I am here because I am beginning to feel I can communicate again.

Thanks for the welcome.

I know if I don't get good sleep I'm in for a rough T day.
I'm not sure what a good nite sleep does to T but it sure does help.
Maybe you can ask your doctor for something to help with sleep?

 

Over the years I have tried several medications for sleep and they all didn't help. Some made things worse.
I suppose I have accepted the T as a part of my life and am trying to have a satisfactory existence with it.
I am presently working on getting my mind gets more focused(which is difficult) and breaking the mental fragmentation and frustration of not being able to sleep.
