Same here. I got tinnitus 2 years ago and somehow I managed to habituate reaching the point where I basically had to focus really hard for hearing it. And I was super happy and proud of myself, being able to sleep at night without masking sounds (and believe me I was the kind of person that...
From my personal experience, I smoked a bit after I started to develop T and that made it much worse, much more noticeable for me. Maybe it was just my anxiety, pumped up by weed, that caused it but I would not recommend it.
Ok guys, even this night was pretty much sleepless BUT thank to all the information and support I found in this forum I can say that AT LEAST I was not super anxious/scared/hopeless as before. Yeah,lying in bed with this weird noise constantly nagging in your head and watching the hours passing...

And what are these musician earplugs that you mention? Do they help in relieving stress for...
