It can be challenging being the first one awake when your partner has tinnitus. It can leave you ruminating about all the possible what if's that could happen when they wake up. Will she be ok today? Will it be as bad as yesterday? Will she be feeling better? It's agonizing. In this episode, I share with you my approach to my morning routine. I also share with you what I learned this morning about how to "read" her level of distress. Slow and steady here we go. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/myspousehastinnitus/message ..read more

Your Spouse might tell you things like, "It's ok if you leave me," or "You should just let me go." That is gut-wrenching to hear as a partner, especially when you are filled with love for that person. This is what my wife told me last night. I told her to not speak of this because I am not going anywhere. It became clear to me that I am going to need to double down on my love for her. This challenge will require me to become more self-less and a lot more patient. And I accept the challenge. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/myspousehastinnitus/message ..read more

Hi, I'm Charlie. My wife has had tinnitus off and on in one ear for 4-5 years. Recently, the tinnitus has become increasingly unbearable. Because of this, I have begun to realize that in order to survive and thrive through this, I need to change for the better. Compassion, kindness, supportiveness, and selflessness need to increase. This is my story to figure out just how to do that. And I hope my journey can help someone else who is out there in a similar situation --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/myspousehastinnitus/message ..read more
