      I have a very beautiful wife, who treats me like a king.. what I sometimes does not deserve.

      Also, she gave me 2 beautiful boys.

      Waking all the mornings, and knowing they are alive, they have health, they can walk, breath, eat, you feel like you have nothing else to ask to life.

      When you have a family, you can't regreat about alot of things.

      If something wrong happens to you, for example getting T, in some point you just remember how fortunate you are to have healthy boys and wife who love you, and you just restarts and keep going.

      Played in a rock band
      I was up early this morning and walking with my son, and thinking, we really don't lack anything we need. We're a family, and we're not alone, and we could do a lot worse than this.

      1. That there are people working on treatment for hearing loss.

      Cause of Tinnitus:
      Probably a mix of ETD and TMJ
      I have an amazing family who I get to see almost every day. And the cutest little niece that I love so very much.
      I have a loving boyfriend who I love very much
      I have my own apartment, and a good job
      I have very close friends who have supported me during this who I have fun times with and see almost every week
      I am thankful for every day where my tinnitus is mild and I have a strong mentality to cope with it.

      Cause of Tinnitus:
      Loud music, I suppose
      I'm grateful for a lot of things.
      My friends who stands by me even when I'm stucked in a black, depressive hole where I'm sure I'm no fun being around.
      My family who does the exact same thing.
      My dogs, my cat, my horse.
      Living in a country where education is free and even "pays" me for studying which makes me able to take an education far from my parents and from where I grew up without creating one hell of a debt.
      Living in a country where I don't have to hide my sexuality for the fear of being bullied or even arrested or sentenced to death.
      Never having to worry about if I'll have a place to stay or get something to eat tomorrow because I have my own place and money to buy food.
      Living an a democratic country where I can speak my mind and oppose the sitting politicians if I disagree with them.
      Being well enough to study and for the most part functions well enough to get through the day.
      Because all in all I have a pretty great life despite my tinnitus, depression, anxiety and ADD!

      My loving family whom im so proud of.
      Its not been a good 2 years as my dad passed away while I was holding his hand and my mum while I was with her when died in June this year and my nan .
      I stayed around the clock with them day and night till the end and would not want to be any where else and cherish every moment by their side.
      I was with both my parents and nan never leaving their side all week and with them till the end .
      Presious moments I will treasure for ever.

      ototoxicity
      Like many here are close people, family. Pets. Parents.
      Wives and children yet.
      Probably this.
      I am also glad that there are people, scientists and volunteers who are working on this problem - tinnitus and hearing problems, despite the low funding. After all, if we imagine our species of humanity, as Robert Sapolski said: - "Complex and evolutionarily confused view," science, development and construction of a society of the common good is truly the highest goal of mankind. I am convinced that in the future many diseases can be treated, and, literally, heal people, thanks to the achievements of science. We must do everything to make this future as soon as possible! And do not spend so much money on arms race and war.

      Perhaps this might be the future in Japan and China. I have my doubts about this being true for other places.

      I've seen a lot of improvements over the year.
      I've got a terrific gf and nice friends who helped me.
      My job, though challenging with my fear of sound, and what gave me T, is what I like to do, I believe I am pretty capable in it as well.

      My main problem is mentally, I've developed fear of sound and H, I could potentially do everything I want to, but am extremely afraid. So I need 2018 to overcome that.

      I'm going to come off as unserious but my cat, internet, chocolate and memes is the reason I get up in the morning. A place to live and positive memories definitely deserves to be mentioned.

      My family now consists of two people and things have been somewhat dysfunctional at times but I'm thankful for still having family. Things have improved a lot over the years and that I'm thankful for too.

      I don't want to jinx it but in April it'll be two years since I had a cold, which is a personal record. Colds tend to have a negative effect on my ears so I'm very thankful for not having any for so long!

      This is a post about what you're thankful for not regular conversations. If you wish to talk about anything else, please do so on another post or in a private conversation.

      I am thankful for having my old grandparents, a few great friends, being able to help others from time to time and for every laugh that cheers me up. Also, for every new positive bit of info I can get regarding T - better tomorrows.

      These companies have incentives to find cures. People respond to incentives.

      I am thankful that I was born in the 1970s and not in the decades that followed. There is a chance that I will be out of here before it gets Really bad.
