Tinnitus winning

[Joeb17]

Where I live the lady in the flat below has had her tv volume very loud and I can hear it over my tv have complained it’s been like it since January nothing done wrote another letter this week as trying to watch tv with loud T 24/7 and the sound of her ti well this morning I totally lost it I know I should not have gone to her flat flat because of the virus but it was driving me mad management came along while is was there I was keeping my distance I got told of I apologised but if they had done something about it months ago when I reported it it would not have come to this now this has upset me I don’t like complaining but the T won I know there is no cure but at the moment I don’t know how much I can stand it’s driving me crazy I can’t talk to my mum because she will get upset can’t talk to my sister as she would get upset and she is having treatment for breast cancer so this is why I’m writing here as it is like talking to someone it’s that I have just had enough.this has made me feel very bad that I might have put someone in danger my T is through the roof and it is lowest I have felt for a long time sorry for going on but just had to let it out have had a good cry I just have to calm down.

Thanks for listening

John I totally hear you. With the lockdown we have barking dogs a lot of the day and I was so upset that had to tell the neighbour. It sent the T v bad and anxiety was through the roof so I know what you’re going through. When you have calmed down enough then get back to some breathing exercises. Do you have any meds that you can take under these circumstances?

Thank for your reply yes I do have meds I have just had the lady in charge come to see me and had a long chat I told here that I had done wrong and was sorry they are now going to monitor her volume and if I think it is to loud or I get to stressed out I am to push my care button and someone will come to see if I’m a right I feel a lot better now I just feel guilty of breaking all the rules on the virus.

Yay John, "Needs must where the devil drives" I can totally relate and even if you didn't quite act within the guidelines, at least your situation was acknowledged in person by 'the lady in charge' and perhaps now they'll do something instead of ignoring your letters!

Best Wishes

Thanks keep safe and don’t do what I did today it was so stupid I can’t imagine what I would have thought if some one done that to mum.im afraid that what I did will happen in other places we all have to be strong

[Xene in reply to Joeb17]

Yep I see what you mean but sadly in this current climate I can see how there will be a rise in mental health, domestic abuse, child abuse and the list goes on! You keep safe too, keep your chin up and in the face of adversity fight on! Xene

Hello.

I am so sorry this is happening to you. I suffer from tinnitus and hypercuses I brought a pair of noise cancelling headphones i know its not the answer you want to hear but it's working for me for now you can try it or wired ones if you tv is not compatible.

It doesn't help with covit 19 virus because everyone is having to spend more time at home.

Good luck

And best wishes
