Geeesh! There is a lot of bad information in this thread. You old-timers have got to remember that there are a lot of newbies that visit this board, how about not scaring the heck out of them.

First off there are a lot of things that improve with age like coping Skills and drawing on your experiences to get thought the tough times. Im sure one could even find physical conditions that improve with age. For example the pain associated with degenerative disc disease actually improves as we become older. Also, I have read statements from tinnitus researchers that many not all with high pitch tinnitus gets better as they age.

Second, your perceived tinnitus loudness bares no relationship to how well or poorly you deal with it or react to it. For example there was a thread a couple of days ago in which the person stated that they had extremely soft tinnitus, so low that they could only hear it in a quite room. They were having an extremely tough time dealing with their tinnitus. They had trouble sleeping and carrying out a normal life. On the other side of things, I remember a post a year or so back from I believe the posters name was Boulderco or something like that. He stated that at the health club he attends there was an older gentleman in which he struck up a conversation with. The music they were piping into the workout room was very loud so they got to talking about tinnitus. Boulder was surprised to find out that the man had very loud tinnitus, could even hear it over the very loud music yet was NEVER BOTHERED BY HIS TINNITUS! The man lived a perfectly happy full life. You cant do anything about how loud your T is but you can do a lot about HOW YOU REACT TO IT.
