thanks to the blog readers

well -- thanks to the readers of my blog IF THERE ARE ANY.

i keep getting blog comments from nonexistent humans trying to sneak in spam ads, and business links.

tinnitus & noise sesitivity update

strange.

i've stayed indoors for the past 3-4 months, trying to keep it as quiet as possible (i have severe "recruitment" due to acoustic trauma -- recruitment being a terrible sensitivity to sound. it not only is EXTREMELY painful -- like a screwdriver being jammed in my ears -- the recruitment means that noise OTHER people preceive as "normal" or "not too loud" causes my tinnitus to act up MUCH worse. tinnitus = the internal noises our ears make: chirping, buzzing, hissing etc.)

anyway, after all this time indoors, i've noticed some MILD improvement. but, it's only an improvement in the recruitment, NOT in the tinnitus.

the tinnitus is actually WORSE -- much louder hissing, beeps and "bass drum" booming in my ears.

but, i'm not as sensitive to noise.

god, i HOPE it keeps getting better. i'll at least be able to GO OUTDOORS.

STRANGE, how the tinnitus didn't better along with it though.

(I SURE WISH A DOCTOR HAD RECOMMENDED THIS; I MAY HAVE BEEN FURTHER DAMAGING MY HEARING by not staying in, and being injured by enviromental noises...
