Same. I wish you the best for your continued upward trajectory, friend.

What from, if I may ask?
Me, I've been on a multi-year roller coaster (more like haunted house ride, really, with the rattling and the spooks and the lack of upwards motion...) involving asking for help in what turned out to be the wrong place, causing me to lose my job, kids, spouse, dream house, future dreams, sanity, and damn near my life.
Still, I'm still here, still hoping for things to get better. You know, eventually.
I carry some because it's no longer a thing. My card has only the information that I know will not change: my name, email address, and mobile phone number. On the back there's a QR code (which contrasts the otherwise vintage look).
I hand out perhaps one per month so not super often, and many times the most appropriate thing to do is to simply tell people my phone number. But sometimes, especially when we're in a situation where phones are not nearby, it's quite effective to hand over a pre-made card with that info.
The average reaction is "Oh, cool" so even if they toss it once they've copied the info (which, tbh, is my expectation) it will still have made the exchange slightly out of the ordinary.
Plus, sometimes they're useful to stop a table from rattling, or leave a message for someone who's not currently present, and so on.
Sorry to nitpick...
Tinnitus is more likely to introduce high-frequency sound than the 440Hz dial tone. If anything, that is the one frequency that old-timey phone techs would eventually struggle to hear...
What's the last thing you bounced back from?

Are business cards still a thing?
Do people still hand out physical business cards at events or is it all digital now?...
Dial Tone
Sometime, probably close to 20 years ago, but perhaps more recently, you heard a dial tone for the last time and you didn’t even realize it would be.
