[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have tinnitus and hearing loss and wear hearing aids.  I think you are exhausted by the end of the week due to the amount of effort it takes to concentrate during conversations.  I have to really LISTEN and focus to hear and comprehend conversations, which is draining.  I do not recommend scaling back your job until you have explored all options as recommended in this post, to include hearing aids (or just one, if needed) - I never considered a job change to deal with the tinnitus, I had to adapt.  Hearing aids were a tough pill for me to swallow in my 30's, but I had to get over it.  Unfortunately, you will have to learn strategies for dealing with it as it's unlikely to go away.   I'm sorry, OP.  It sucks, I know.  [/quote]

Thanks for sharing. I’m sorry you had to go through this so young. Yes - it sucks.  
‘It could have been worse.  Be grateful that it’s not some kind of terminal disease’ is how I try to stay positive.  Yes, listening is a bigger effort now. I was still thinking that my tired comes from the lack of quality of good sleep because this thing keeps waking me up. Sleep aids help, but make you oversleep or be drowsy or headachy next day.
