,,,me too - and I "do" realize it could be worse but it is life changing and I am not the person I used to be and don't even like myself sometimes, no not life threatening but life altering and mood and personality altering....tinnitus hyperacusis echo pain pressure and now musical ear, wake up to strangest of noises and chanting .... I try to be positive but wearing me, and all of us, down..........and 40 yr happy marriage going down the drain..... !!
