[QUOTE="AJWSmith, post: 1822946, member: 50392"] Saw my ENT consultant and asked him for advice about my loud tinnitus. He repeated the usual mantra of ignoring it and minimising stress. His key point was that I should try and [B]fill my life as much as possible with stimulating and fun things[/B]. He said that tinnitus is much less of a problem when you're at a party having great fun with friends than if you're all alone in a quiet room doing nothing. Now I know it's impossible to be having fun all the time, but I liked the challenge to go out and make my life as fun as it can. And I know that I'm not very good at finding the time to do these things. My tendency is to do all the boring and mundane stuff, and only when I've done the horrible stuff, can I give myself permission to do something nice. But by then I'm too tired... :hmm::roll::doh: [/QUOTE]
