Yes, well 99.9% of the time. If I get really, really shitfaced drunk on red wine, it'll turn it off, but at that point I'm too drunk to appreciate it. lol. I haven't tried that in a long, long time! My T sounds exactly like a boiling tea kettle screaming, but I don't notice it anymore unless I...- BLane

Learn to live with it. The first year is brutal, but it gets easier. Don't manage the T, manage yourself—your focus, your attention. Accept it, don't fight it, and keep doing everything you used to, even if you have to relearn. It's tough but necessary. Thinking about T makes it worse. Over...- BLane

I tried to avoid sound. I used ear plugs, noise cancelling headphones, avoided people and places that would aggravate it, but doing that only forced my attention towards the T and makes it worse in the long run. I stopped avoiding sounds and the T fell away into the background where it can be...- BLane

If you stick with it, it will shift your attention away from the T and back to your life. In time the T won't even matter and you'll have your life back.- BLane

When T strikes, we all want to pretty much roll over and die....we stop doing what we did prior because it's too hard to do much of anything with T. I believe the fastest route to habituation is to continue doing everything that we did prior. It is damn hard, sometimes nearly impossible and...- BLane

@Sammy0225 How long have you been the buzz/zaps? I never stopped working, mostly because I had no choice, but in hindsight I think it was the best thing I could've done.- BLane

Has your vibrating/zinging component calmed down yet? It went away after 6 months, the hyperacusis went away another few months after that. Fullness feeling in my ears is gone now. Just a steady boiling tea kettle ringing that I only become aware of when I come on here or someone asks me about...- BLane

Yes, I did, VERY strong for the first 6 months. It not only sounded like electrical buzzing, it literally had a vibratory component to it within the brain. I am pretty well habituated now.- BLane

5th year anniversary with T. Accept it, do not resist it, do not identify with it and it loses it's power over you. Acceptance is key.- BLane

Electrical Head Buzzing Tinnitus — What Has Helped YOU?
Glad I could help somewhat. My head buzz is going strong at the moment. The good thing about it being cyclical is that I know it'll tone down. The transitions are usually signaled by either momentary ear pressure or an abrupt change in tone/pitch or some weird switches in my head that feel like...
