Welcome here! I've had T for 16 years (I'm 43), sometimes it gets worse, but on the whole I manage it pretty well. Early days were horrible. Often it get can pretty loud. In a weird kind of way, I've become accustomed to my T. What can I say, you get used to it, and then begin to focus on what...

I've had tinnitus for 16 years (I'm 43 now) and I'm ok, I'm still all here, and pretty sane :) I can even laugh about it. When it first kicked in, I was extremely desperate and anxious, depressed, stressed, to get back to my previous state. Then, a few years later, I hit rock bottom about it...

thanks gary, for the first time in 16 years, I think I'll go and see what can be done...

Thanks bmguitar I really have no idea why I haven't taken resting my ears more seriously through the years. It is weird how perceptions change, I used to be deeply anxious/depressed about my ears ringing all the time, but it doesn't get me like it used to. I can still hear well enough to do...

@bmguitar I've become pretty chipper about my tinnitus - it's quite an easy thing to become really depressed about, unless one takes firm thought-action, as it were. I remember the terrible anxiety I suffered in the early days... but that mind state was taking me nowhere. Currently - well...

That's philosophical but pretty much to the point.... in Buddhist philosophy, the cause of pain and anguish in life is regarded as the act of grasping... For example, my own tinnitus (my ears are whistling as I write this), isn't so bad if i don't connect any thoughts to it - but if I start...

I'm sorry it came back full force. Definitely putting in ear protection is the key. It does have its ups and downs. I've had T for about 16 years now. Actually, I don't mind the hissing, pitch-shifting, whistling noise, mostly. I've overcome my mental reaction (most of the time) to not hearing...

Hello Everybody Just wanted to say hi and maybe share with others out there who suffer from tinnitus. I'm a 43 year old musician. In retrospect I realise now I had hyperacusis, had super sensitive ears, and as a kid it was torment when an ambulance went by, for example. Cinemas were horrible...
