      Pregnancy or mild hearing loss.. Who knows.
      I am a full-time mom of soon to be 3 kids and a full time 911 emergency dispatcher. Wondering if wearing a headset in one ear over the last 10 years has slowly contibuted to my newfound ringing.

      I'm a software engineer too in New York. I usually have a white noise app at my desk, during a louder than usual tinnitus week. Sometimes programming completely distracts me from focusing on tinnitus.

      That photo of my son was taken around the time that I first started consulting nine years ago. As of September, I am no longer an economic consultant. I have decided to go back into the industry and work in structured finance research. Just for the record! -G

      I’m a full time mum to my little girl, who is 5 and about to start school in August.

      Before tinnitus, I worked for myself as a furniture restorer/appliance engineer. I was also just about to start a placement as a building surveyor.

      Then tinnitus hit & my immune system went crazy. I’ve been doing nothing ever since. Trying to think of quieter jobs now. Might do residential surveying, since it’s more valuation stuff.
