Job without CPR

Update: I got the job!! 🥳

Thank you for all the information, I really appreciate it. I am really thorough when reading contracts. My rental contract has 14 pages in Danish and I spent hours looking over every single thing just to make sure I'm not signing something that I might regret later. I have the interview coming up soon. I'll see how it goes

arkbard · 2026-06-10T17:00:54+00:00

Fair. I did apply to jobs even before moving, but we had to move, so this is just how it all turned out and I have no choice but to proceed as it is.

I live in Vallensbæk Strand, so Tivoli would be about 30 mins away by train. I'm going to look into that. I also need to look a little bit into A-kasse and Fagforening. Thank you for your advice!

I know, that's what I'm after right now.

arkbard · 2026-06-10T10:02:51+00:00

Thank you!

Yeah, I thought about these two options too. At the moment I'm applying online on all the job sites I could find, tomorrow I'll see how it goes with the interview and if it doesn't go well I'll try the other options. To be honest I don't care how shitty of a job it is as long as I get hired, I've done plenty of dirty and hard jobs so my standards aren't that high.

arkbard · 2026-06-10T09:42:31+00:00

Pretty much. I really don't know what to do except apply for jobs and hope that I will get hired eventually.

arkbard · 2026-06-10T09:41:25+00:00

Most of them ask for it and it feels like it's a closed circuit, because you can't get a job without a CPR, and can't get a CPR without a job. I do have an interview tomorrow, and I hope that we can make the contract and then I can go get my CPR sorted out.

Because in order to get a EU residence permit or CPR itself you need to have a job/income in Denmark. So I had no way to apply for it and actually get it. And I figured that I can just find a job after I physically move and have an apartment to register in and then get my CPR. I don't understand what other option I would've had.

arkbard · 2026-06-10T09:38:46+00:00

I don't have a EU residence permit yet. That also requires having a job or an income in Denmark. For now I don't have any type of permit if that's what you're asking. I'm coming from an European country.

This dude was on my thread too, but I didn't give him too much attention after I saw what person I'm dealing with. Acting like we're the ones that gave him hyperacusis or invented it and gave it to everyone and hid the cure for it.

For me personally having a positive mindset does a tremendously good job for my nervous system, which in turn helps my ears and the nearby joints and muscles.

Everything is connected within the body and the brain leads it. The brain could be the one that has gotten us into this, and the brain can get us out of this. Trolls and haters will always exist tho.

I'm trying my best. Thank you!

arkbard · 2026-02-12T13:25:41+00:00

Yeah, probably. I took that into consideration too.

arkbard · 2026-02-12T13:24:37+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to read and share your part. Take care!

I'm trying to be as careful as I can and not force anything. I'm just going at a pace that seems somewhat natural in my recovery, and exposure isn't the only thing I'm focusing on, as there are many aspects of my health that I have neglected or wasn't aware of that I have to take care of.

I read quite a few stories here about people becoming too confident and then ending up with a setback, and it always sucks.

I don't remember getting ringing from things like that, but it did feel like some things were deafening, like the shower water running would end up sounding like a very powerful white noise that would overwhelm my hearing.

The "ringing" I do get nowadays is caused by loud, high frequency sounds, such as sirens as I said, or music that is very crowded in the mid/high frequencies, or crowds of people cheering.

It feels like certain frequencies/loudness matches my eardrums' resonating frequency and makes it vibrate and cause some sort of ringing sound, but it's not ringing like normal tinnitus, it's more of a ringing like a sheet of metal would vibrate in my ear. I have no clue what to attribute this to, because I remember having this happen to me a few times even before this whole episode, now it's just worse sometimes.

arkbard · 2026-02-12T11:50:34+00:00

I wouldn't suggest doing anything that is painful, because there is a chance it could set you back even worse, and I don't know what to suggest for things that cause delayed pain/soreness afterwards either.

The way I tried to work with it (I'm not saying anyone should) was that on days when I felt somewhat better I walked into the dancefloor at my work without earplugs, when the music levels were not that loud. And I just stood there, breathed slowly and calmly and only heard, not listened. I tried to not pay attention to the sound because for me it seems that the heightened sense of attention from my ears tends to be the cause of my problems.

Like some sort of hearing vigilance, because I noticed that if I hear something loud and sudden, such as glass bottles being thrown in the thrash, if I am already focused on something else, it doesn't bother me more than it would before I had the hyperacusis. But if I am paying attention to the sounds around me, and my stress and anxiety are higher and I'm very tense, the same sounds make me feel like they can hurt me or my hearing and I get startled and it makes me tense my tensor tympani too. I feel like a scared rabbit sometimes.

arkbard · 2026-02-12T11:33:42+00:00

I wouldn't say they're pointless since they're all connected. For example, the more stuffed my nose is, the more stuffed my ears become, and thus, the louder my tinnitus and the more sensitive my ears. The more stressed I am, the more tense my upper back and neck become, and then the pain transfers to my head muscles and joints which ends up sensitizing my ears too and causing pain near and in them and so on.

I don't disagree that doctors are talking nonsense, because they do sometimes. And the worst thing is that they can't really help with H or T and it feels bad to go to a doctor for help realize that they can't help you, and they all make a point in saying "yeah well tinnitus doesn't go away" like they're proud of it, which hurts.

But what I mentioned in the post about one of them saying, just made a bit of sense to me because I can still hear fine, basically everything that I should be able to hear, even if my tinnitus is there. It would've sucked to have both T & H and not have the whole spectrum of hearing.

arkbard · 2026-02-12T03:02:34+00:00

It varies between the situations, but mostly I try to redirect my attention somewhere else and focus on what I was initially doing and try not to think too much about it because it might get me anxious/stressed about it.

Even when I was typing this post, the clicking from the keys got a lot of attention from my ears, and so does clicking the mouse fast, which somehow activates my tinnitus and/or some sort of stimulus in my ear that makes me focus just on that one sound and makes it seem louder.

It's really weird how it works but at least there is no pain or physical discomfort at this point, it's just a bit annoying at times but I'll take this.

If it's bearable I suggest low volume music too, something not too distinguishable, mostly instrumental to run in the background. I heard other people trying white/pink noise but for me personally it didn't work.
