    I'm So Scared and It's Gotten Worse

Also interesting to hear people share about masking noises. I can always hear my tinnitus, but having the tv on at...

    It Only Took 20 Years...

    ... for me to seek some support from fellow suffers. And I'm glad I finally did. I've suffered from tinnitus since at least 1995. I spent 13 years playing the violin, which was identified by my first audiologist as the likely culprit for the beginning of my hearing damage. Add to that, over 30...
