thanks for asking. No I haven't. I'm having a really bad day today. I washed my hair for the first time in 2 weeks and I've caused a major spike. I was on antibiotics last week and I took a sleeping tablet every day with the 7 day course. Last night was my first night off antibiotics and sleeping pills and I only slept for about an hour. Think I'm hooked on the sleeping tablets even though I only get about 4 hours sleep with them, its still better than the usual none or one hour.

I'm demented with this. I fight suicidal thoughts every day. I'm seeing a private audiologist who specialises in hyperacusis but that too is really extreme. I just don't have the energy to kill myself but this is so difficult to live with. Are you better? How do you cope with this?

Today i was outside in the "factory" where i work and i needed to get past someone that was using an angle grinder. Was like 1 metre away from him when he started to cut thru a big pipe. Very uncomfortable but had mine SNR 35 DB moldex earplugs so i think i will be safe.

Kingsfan if it's by allergies then it be easier to recover from it, I'm hoping it's a cold like my uncle said, but however unfortunately my cousin grandmother lives around here and smokes outside, so I'm not sure if Eustachian Tube Dysfunction caused by this.

Had a meeting today at my work. I use jabra speaker for teamcalls. I thought it was very "annoying to my ears" and double checked the volume after like 5 minutes into the meeting and it was on 60% (i always got it on 20% on volume). Probably my coworkers borrowed it and increased the sounds and didnt tell me. Dont think that will hurt me but it is very annoying and aggrevated my ears quite alot.

you still take clonazepam?

I'm having a tough day today, and that's probably just the result of a weekend where I had to give up my comfortable solitude for two days.

Twenty-two months later I begin to resume my hobbies

I wish it could stay this way forever, for the rest of my life. The problems weren't as furious today as they are most of the time.

Have you got any better?

Not feeling good right now, I barely hear voices and my appointment is on the 27th of Octoober, I wish I can go earlier

Being in a spike really sucks, I pray and hope that it will att get back to normal soon enough, I was doing so well for the last one to two years!

T will be the death of me.

I somehow managed to get myself vestibular hyperacusis or something. Nausea, vertigo and feels like my head is between a press.

Ear is most important organ of human body

I forgot to renew my Betaserc recipe. I've been without it for 3 days now and my ears are definitely worse. Louder and ears are also aching. I hope I get a new prescription soon.

i wouldnt say that sounds makes me "PANIC" the way they used to. I still spike ALOT tho and some seems to be permanent. I mostly get angry or irritated when people yell, clap their hands etc close to me that creates a spike and im like "oh crap not another spike". Its good to not get super panicky and anxiety rid but still getting the spikes is kind of the hardest thing for me to deal with since it drains my energy and make me feel like im going backwards in progress

Somedays not sure how much longer I can keep going. What choice do I have but to keep going.

My morse code that I had years ago is back after a new trauma. It blends with sounds like microwave, running water or A/C and it´s disgusting. Don´t know if it´s dysacusis. Talked with my wife about VAD last night. She is not totally against it, but not in the near future, we´ll see in the coming months.

You never know the plan. You never know what's going to happen. We are not even promised tomorrow. I just try to focus on one day at a time. - Morgan Wallen -

I wanted to share this video with you-



Also, I keep reading about the fact there are only a small number of people who actually come back to tell of their success. I guess they just want to forget it ever existed for the time it did.

Didn't ever believe that Susan Shore's device would work for me. But anyway, by the time it comes out I won't be able to use it because I won't be able to hear frequencies of my most bothersome T. Out of hope. Can't sleep today.

how long do i have to endure this? susan shore device looks shit anyway and i live in turkey

We in Europe are possibly getting the Shore device in about 10 years the earliest if USA is getting it in like 6 years. Lol, thanks for nothing I guess.

Can't believe the dates shown on Auricle's stream.

Ive been stretching my neck and jaw alot trying to release my tension i got everywhere. Also been taking walks. My tinnitus has got from 5/10 to 7/10 with doing these things. I dont understand why. Shouldnt it get lower? I wonder if i should keep going and if im onto something here or if i should stop. Takes alot of energy having it louder. its also more loud on the side i got most tension on which is weird.

Developed pulsatile tinnitus, every time I lay down it sounds like a washing machine in my left ear. Been feeding ChatGPT with data about my PT now and it's been giving me some reassuring feedback that it's just positional. However might be due to Eustachian tube dysfunction.

Update: The PT has subsided after multiple nasal rinsing sessions.

Wish there was a hearing loss cure / tinnitus cure already it's been so fucking long.

I;m in a crisis now. I took the antibiotics and am really really not well at all. I'm only on my second dose and the tinnitus is through the roof. I feel feverish and shaky. I just don't feel right if you know what I mean. I'll have to stop but I'm scared strep infection will get worse. Dont know what to do. Its a holiday weekend so I'm at a loss of who to phone or what to do.

My throat feels worse than what it was before I started.

After been a stressball the entire week i went for a walk unprotected, i live in a very quiet area. there was a garden with a dog so i was force to take a "offroute", went in the forest and saw freshly cut trees along the path. When i was walking suddenly i hear a chainsaw start behind a bush only 6-10 metres away from me i didnt see the worker. I ran in panic with my fingers in my ears. Urgh it was so loud. still a stressball......
