Tinnitus

[777john]

Even as i sit in the sunshine in my garden feeling relaxed the t is as loud as ever all sorts of things are going through my mind i am off work at the moment since this tinnitus took off i work in a engineering environment where is very very noisey even with ear protectors on , i was thinking of leaving my job because surely now with my t being so loud being in a loud place 9 hours a day can not be good.but on the other hand we are always very busy and i can loose my self in my work. What do i do ?

I seem to remember earlier posts from you. Have you thought about cognitive behavioural therapy? If you were injured at work, then your employer might pay for this?

I understand your predicament. If you enjoy your work and you have your friends there then it makes sense to stay. However, if it’s really really noisy this may be the cause of your tinnitus . I think you have to make the decision yourself, I guess the damage to your poor ears is already done. Noise and keeping busy help me to forget my troublesome tinnitus too .

Yes its a decision only i can make

Invest in good ear protectors .. Or ask your boss to do so. It will benefit you and everyone else. In such a noisy environment.

I highly recommend Sony noise cancelling headphones, they are the best thing I ever bought.

You’re talking about having lots going through your mind (I don’t blame you, what a predicament). It’s occurred to me you might like, as you are. To working currently and have time, to go through the programme “One You”. Just google it. Complete the quiz and see if any recommendations come out of this. It can’t tell you about your job of course, but might help concentrate the mind?? Anyway, it can’t hurt!
