I’m okay with the level of tinnitus that I have now (which would probably drive some to suicide) and I could live with this amount of tinnitus for life, no problem. But if it got drastically worse… that’s a risk I’m not comfortable with. I don’t know if there’s some sort of work around that would let me do the breathing exercises without risking worsening my tinnitus.

As for my business, I’m a lawyer but I don’t want to get much more specific than that in public (you can DM me if you want more info.) PFS de-railed my career, and my father’s horrible abuse for half a decade pushed me further away. Eventually I got a non-lawyer job but this isn’t somewhere I can stay any longer. And I want to finally make real money.

Anyway, I re-learned what I needed to re-learn (thankfully even in my darkest days, I never let my law licenses expire,) got a lot of reps in doing pro bono work, and now I’m technically, mentally, and emotionally able to do this. Once I have an ad and website combo that works, I can dial up the ad spend to increase my workload, and I’ll be making very good money. My website looks reasonable, including the professional photo and everything. I just need to pull the trigger on my ads and start fine-tuning from there. I can be making well over a hundred thousand dollars without too much trouble, and multiple times that as I get going. I deserve it.
I’m one of the ones who tinnitus has completely gone away. I used to have ringing in my ears from the military also, and then after pfs it got louder. It would also hit me randomly where everything in the world would go silent in one ear and then all I could hear would be ringing for about 30 seconds. Fortunately I don’t have tinnitus in any sense of the word anymore. EXCEPT when I do wim hof. Sometimes I get ringing in my ears briefly afterwords. I’ve also heard this from a number of people who have never had pfs, just based off of commenters on YouTube videos of wim hof, it seems to be a common theme.

I wouldn’t worry about it causing your pfs tinnitus to worsen in the long run. If you experience any ringing, it will be brief. That’s my .02 at least.
