Tinnitus Poem

[Johnny_Plank]

Hi everyone,

My name is John Ronan and I have had tinnitus since 2012. I was a member of the old BTA back in those days and I wrote a poem about my tinnitus story and posted it on the BTA forum.

It was called No more please go.. still there don't care.

Its a long shot but I wonder if there is anyone who remembers this poem and even better kept a copy.? Unfortunately I have lost it and forgotten most of it.

I still attend audiology and I'm sure it will help people with tinnitus realise that it does get better, so I would like to give it my audiologist who provided my TRT to share with others.

I went from suicidal to coping with tinnitus within a few years even though its very loud and in both ears.

I believe my story that my poem maps out, could help others.

Thanks for reading and best wishes.

oh John that sounds wonderful! No I haven’t seen your poem, sadly. Sounds great.

What a pity you've lost it John. Hopefully it will turn up. I'd love to read it!

Hi John, I don’t know if you’ve tried using the way back machine? It’s just a website that has billions of old archived websites.

web.archive.org

Might be worth a shot?

I would second Naomi's suggestion - if the Wayback Machine has archived the previous BTA forum, there may be a snapshot of the poem available there.

Thanks for that info I've never heard of it, will give it a try.👍
