A few days ago I randomly got tinnitus out of nowhere and I didn’t understand what’s up. An hour or so ago I finally understood/learned what’s happening to me and read up on tinnitus and I’m devastated. I’m only over 20 and having this for the rest of my life as it becomes worse is heartbreaking to me. I was already overly sensitive to certain noises and am in love with music but with tinnitus I lost something precious and permanently gained somethimg that I just will need to live with. I’m heartbroken and scared. I know I will learn to accept it within a week as my brain processes this new experience but right now I just feel gutwrenchingly horrible. Especially so when I was already having some other physical and mental health issues that I’m unable to cope with and this adds to the burden. I need some advice on how to live with it and some comfort in knowing of other people going through the same. Thank you. :(
(I don’t live is US if that matters in any way.)
Yeah but only wear em sometimes. For raves/sound system events I ALWAYS wear em. Metal shows/festivals not so much. Usually dependent on how loud the venue is, if I’m moshing, which band is playing.
And yes. I will - I do. But I don’t plan on sticking around for too long. And in the rare case I see 40, I’ll be happy knowing I lived life the way I wanted, and experienced everything I wanted to, no regrets.
