I think i hear something or, i'll hear most of what she says but don't understand a couple important words. I don't really need the TV up loud and if i make it a point to concentrate on waiting to hear people say something instead of reacting when they do, it helps. 

My ringing changes in intensity though and i don't know what makes it louder or softer. Sometimes i don't hear it at all while others it's really loud. I guess i'm fortuante in a way because i learned to ignore it a long time ago and it's never bothered me to the point it affects my daily life, other than having to say "huh?" to my wife more than i should. 

My biggest goal right now is getting her to not go on some rant when i don't hear her and just simply repeat what she said without some lecture. 

I will say this. It's not altered my bad habit of playing music waaaaayyyy too loud in my car or even in my headphones when i'm at the gym or just listening to music while i'm at home. I've been doing that for as long as i can remember. 

EDIT: After posting this, i decided to go online and do a few tests. They all said i had mild to moderate hearing loss. The last one i took actually gave me graphs to show where i was.

How were you able to post that graph and your results on here?
