I am a rock fan myself also. Although i don't like the loud part, i enjoy that music. Used to listen to some metal too. Now i am afraid to even watch a movie on my PC .... I know your pain, but is it better to hear the ringing in your head?

I never said that it is better.

Just think of it as a healing process. The more you protect yourself - the faster it will heal. I believe you will get better and even T free given some time

I will, neighbour My boyfriend's grandparents are Bulgarian too But they immigrated to TR in 1950s.

You're welcome ! It pretty much explains everything, doesn't it? I remember I was trying to lose weight at that time and didnt't even lose 1 pound but gained a few, and I was so bloated the whole month. These are the most common signs of elevated cortisol levels. I'm currently trying to keep it under control to make my brain's job easier (so hopefully it will pay me back with less noticable levels of T :B). I'll try yoga, thai chi and take some Rhodiola extract to begin with.

I didn't know about them but I certainly can say I've heard their music before. That guy really looks like Ewan McGregor. I'm listening 'Maneater' right now :B

By the way is that your cat on the profile picture? My mum's cat is the same breed and they look very much alike! Oh how I miss her..

@Melike Sounds like you have a great plan. My therapist and I talk about having tools to use - it really helps to make me feel like I have some control. Maybe not necessarily over my T, but over my stress response to it.

Right, that's my cat Scout. He passed away a year ago January after a 15 years of having an awesome life. But he was like my kid and I know what you mean - I still miss him. Scout was a rescue but we always thought he looked kinda like a Maine Coon.

Oh...I'm so sorry My mum adopted her a year ago when she was a baby :3 and after a painful life period of divorcing and trying to build a life on her own, with the help of this cutie, she was able to get out of the long lasting depression which she had it for years. So, Şapşik was like a loving kid that came to her life after all those years. So, I can understand your feelings.

And yes, I don't know how their breed is called (ours was a rescue too) but they very look like Maine Coons! But smaller.

But I don't believe there is something wrong with my ears. I strongly believe that my onset was somehow related to my chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels for so long.

But that, of course, doesn't mean I won't protect my ears because I have no noise related trauma in my ears. I already do and I will. But just giving up those fun events makes me depressed at age 23 and I want to believe that there is a sweet spot where you can have fun in loud events and protect your hearing at the same time.

You have your whole life ahead of you. Don't chance making this permanent. Be careful when going to loud events, and always wear ear plugs. Wearing ear protection at concerts should be automatic, for you and your friends.

I will. I always will. I may give up on them totally because it is generally too risky even with earplugs. And I think it still has a good probability of being permanent.
