I had T for 7 years which I was habituated to and I didn't post on forums saying "hey guys, it's okay. You can do this, I have." But I wish I had. My T has spiked and I find myself scrawling through forums trying to find people who live with it and are happy. Then I remembered, I already have lived with it and I was happy and I didn't tell people because sometimes the more I engage with online forums regarding T the more I notice it. I am finding it hard, last week was awful. However, I had a good weekend. I am having CBT soon and TRT and getting masking devices. I'm on the right path.
Just wanted to throw some positivity out there. Lots of people live with tinnitus and are happy ๐
What an uplifting post. Thank you....positivity is infectious ๐. When you say you habituated previously did you not hear it (so to speak) or did you still hear it but not care about it.

In a room with noise I could usually only hear it if I focused on trying to hear it, so I couldn't hear it so to speak. In a silent room I could hear it and it didn't bother me at all, the flight or fight response had gone and I just didn't care about the sound anymore so I could switch off from it. I will get back to this with a bit of help ๐
Hi,great attitude, I have it six months now and had gotten used to it 2 months ago. Could only get it in a quiet room and now have a spike for last 10 days or so.its gotten my scared like at the start of my t.i go to a therapist once a week and it helps. Hopefully it will settle again.it does seem strange alot of people are getting spikes on here at the minute.
Thanks Michael ๐
Same with me, it's scary when it spikes and you feel like you're right back to where you started but you'll make it through, as will I and in the mean time I will just try my best to stay positive and remember that tinnitus won't hurt or kill me and if I don't let it, it won't destroy my quality of life.
Brilliant, your minset is what I aspire to. Thanks again. Im leaving for my day at work with a pocketful of hope and Im sure others will to ๐
If you look at my last post you will seeI now talk to myself ๐๐
