You have nox mate? If i can watch tv go outside with plugs do you think i have nox?
I actually "forgot" about the incident below and i didnt spike... Weird. Last 2 days i been feeling energetic and in a good mood! :)
A severe tinnitus / noxacusis patient has 2 options. Euthanasia or torture for the rest of his life.
It looks like we are similar. Severe worsening T and benzo withdrawal. Hope you're ok

I'm not ok :( Are you tapering atm?

Yes I am. I'm not on either :(. So many alien tones in my head that don't sound like ringing or hissing at all. There are pure brain damage like tones
3 months in. We got hissing, shrieks, long lasting pure tones, static, wind, rattling like a snake. It's all just chaos and all the sounds take turns every few seconds / minutes. Never the same. Hard to get used to but I'm getting better at not reacting/ignoring. Volume wise it's hard to tell because some sounds are louder than others and some days it all seems louder/ quieter.
Sat in the back of my friend's revved up car not warned how goddamn loud it would be - Having a noise increase :/ I still don't really feel all that polite jamming my fingers in my ears every time its loud, but sometimes you need to I suppose!
I got some relief using an EarPopper. I think there is some inflammation in my left Eustachian tube possibly causing the tinnitus.
Hi Dan, did you have multiple tones? Were they in head and ears?
dan
Yes multiple tones in both ears, head sometimes.
For anyone who likes to lurk profiles and see how things have ended up. Know I'm a rare case. I made a lot of mistakes. You won't end up like me. I can almost guarantee it. I'll be gone soon. There isn't hope for me to get better. I'm trying to stick this out but it's not possible. Noxacusis is a bitch. It shouldn't exist.
Was wondering if you are swiss? I'm based in Basel and suffering similar symptoms, and have come to similar conclusions.
Urk. Was out in the factory and had a conversation with one of the workers, he didnt know the question so he yelled at the top of hes lungs straight into my face on hes coworker like 15 metres behind me for hes attention.... I could litterally feel my peltor earmuffs vibrate from hes scream. Thank god i had both earplugs and earmuffs in. I hope this wont spike me...
Can't even urinate in peace. Office has a full blown music playing in the restroom

I'm a huge arsenal fan for about 15 years. Only thing i look forward to is watching arsenal play every week but im loosing interest slowly in that as well. I just don't feel anything anymore in life.

im a besiktas fan 29 years turkish league i cant even watch games right now i used to go stadium happiest days
Feeling like a cripple. Very angry today. Soundmachine turned itself off tonight, so i woke up from my T. Work is hell today. It's so unfair, the other folks do not have T from this event! Why is my body this fragile?!? Getting more and more intrusive thoughts, that my life is screwed forever.

"What's wrong with you all?" We don't have much choice in this tinnitus crap. BUT...we DO have the choice to toughen-up and quit complaining, and get on with life...or, stay stuck in self-pity and misery...or kill ourselves. I know I choose option #1. What will you choose?

I'm sorry if my reaction came across as if i wanted to attack someone. I'm not particularly emotionally stable at the moment.

It's ok. You are still very new to this condition. I know it sucks. But please hang in there! Have hope that the saying "time heals all wounds" is true. I understand all too well the feelings of regret too. Keep posting. You are not alone.
Does anyone else suffer from hearing loss and tinnitus from birth?
henkess
Nope not me, i got mine from ear medicine

@henkess how did that happen? What was it?
henkess
I dont know, just a reular medicine for ears and i got tinnitus =( Its a common side effect i think on ear medicine
Currently having side effects from my hearing aids but it's okay because its temporary! I know I'll get better soon.
Katleft
Side effects are gone I'm feeling so amazing now!
Wow, I did forget my T Anniversary in 2024. 8.5 years now. I'm so used to it now, it's like an old friend.

have you had it 24/7 since it started? Is it severe?
BLane
Yes, well 99.9% of the time. If I get really, really shitfaced drunk on red wine, it'll turn it off, but at that point I'm too drunk to appreciate it. lol. I haven't tried that in a long, long time! My T sounds exactly like a boiling tea kettle screaming, but I don't notice it anymore unless I intentionally choose to listen to it. My mind habituated and tunes it out of my awareness....but it's always there.

Wow that's great. Was it severe?
