I read a book

Last night I did some pleasure reading.  It seems like a minor thing but I hadn’t read a book since my tinnitus began 6 months ago.  I used to read a lot but after tinnitus I didn’t think I could do it.  The thought of it actually scared me.  So last night I picked up a book that had sat in my night stand for 6 months and read a chapter.  What I discovered was that I still enjoyed reading but my tinnitus seemed a little worse when I was done.  I suppose it’s was from the quiet concentration.  Maybe next time I’ll try reading with headphones on.
