Tinnitus is like “the game”, when you think about it, you lose.
By which I mean if I’m suitably distracted (reading an interesting book for instance) I can pretty much ignore it.
But when I notice it or think about it, it immediately becomes worse, it’s almost self-reinforcing.
There’s audionotch app. Some free masking sounds. Other stuff has to be paid for.
as someone who suffers from tinnitus in quite a bad form, please people. Be smart. wear earplugs. I can live with it, but most people would not be able to live with it.
Tinnitus fucking sucks, back in my old appartment my toilet had no active ventilation just a passive hole with a grid.The room was practically soundproof in the dead of night if I had to go. The Beeeeep was so deafening I had to support myself against the wall, it made me physically nauseous.
my husband his ears got ruined cause in the early days his factory didn’t believe in earplugs.
years later they decided you had to wear them but his hearing is fucked because of it…
i hear really well so i can’t imagine how much it sucks to have but it is annoying yelling at him and him being all like “what?” the same with the alarm he doesn’t hear it right away so it already go’s off really loud before he can turn it off.
Stress makes it worse, to the point where I go from zero tinnitus to pretty untolerable ringing, after a week of chronic high stress.
Good. It’s insane how little knowledge there is about an issue as widespread as this
My tinnitus is my white noise, i only hear it when i relax after work and it doesn’t bother me at all, thanks to years of loud guitar playing through headphones in a time that tinnitus was not known earplugs did not exist and smoking was very healthy

Wear earplugs, people. I can’t believe some don’t see how serious this is. It’s irreversible and can ruin your life.
