Hey there. I became aware of my T in 1999 when I sobered up after two decades of drinking and drugging as a touring rock musician. I habitated to my T from '99 up to three months ago, when I had a minor spill on my daily mountain bike ride. Since then, my T, which mainly lived in my right ear, now lives in both ears at different high pitches. Also, I've noticed that when stressed, any movement of my head while cause the volume to increase. Also, I experience more volume "spikes" since the minor bike accident, and once ever two weeks or so, I experience a very low hum or buzz in my right ear. I do all I can to focus on hearing "past" my T, and I've been able to incorportate myT into my spiritual practices (meditation, Mindfulness, etc.). At night, when I go to bed, I will often use nature sound files avialable on Youtube to help me get to sleep. Not panicking is Huge. So is learning how to "dance with my T," rather than hating it, helps too.
