    @lanterns&coffee i really really recommend getting into meditation/mindfulness!!!! make peace with the tinnitus, let it wash over you and exist without being averse to it. let yourself get normalized to it and let it become as predictable and mundane as blinking, or eye floaters :)

    things have been going really well, tinnitus wise!! it's a lot easier to habituate and take the stress off of the ear when there is *so* much going on—so much work to be done and things to learn!! i've also improved my posture and increased my diet dramatically, dunno if that's related though.
