Title: Gah! Tinnitus sucks! :(
Post by: Aoren Deringer on November 28, 2010, 08:12:16 PM
I recently aquired tinnitus (for anybody not in-the-know, thats when your brain processes sound when no sound exists- for me, its a high-pitched, ever-present ringing) and its keeping me from sleeping...! I mean, seriously, I already have mild Insomnia, but coupled with tennitus, I've been waking up at 1 PM simply because I cant fall asleep till 5 AM, so you see, its making life dificult and taking up a large portion of my day. Anyhow, according to the doctors (Bleh) it is 'caused by sound-related hearing loss, likely due to the use of headphones'
- Incredibly Ironic part is I was fine, then two metal-infused days later I was done. And there is no treatment, no cure and no Freakin' hope for tennitus.

-That is all.

Actually I mostly listen to Big-Band. Was with friends. Was listening to metal (another fave of mine, tbh :P).
They are all fine, I am messed up. Permanently.

I can't... I'm a sleeptheist! (Ok, that was bad, but oh well :P)

AND I said that because I don't scream too well, I fry my vocal chords, which is why I don't sing or anything. Baaddd Juju.

yea...
But ever hear the mosquito? That sound developed by 7/11 that only young people can here (popular ringtone of youth delinquents) well... It sounds like a (harsher, if you believe it) version of that. So I suppose rave music wouldent be that bad.

Oddly enough, being that its all being caused by my brain, it has no effect on my hearing.
