@jasonbourne You have my sympathy man, and every single bit of it. Our stories are similar in that I too have had this from a young age, 20 to be exact, although it would fade significantly shortly after. Some 14 years later one night on a dance floor for an hour spiked my T and has given me a wake up call like never before in my life while also bringing me to these dreaded forums. I'm reliving the nightmare that was 2004 and praying that this subsided in a few months max. I'm now 34.
With regards to you, I don't know just HOW loud your T is, but it seems like it's obviously a strain on your life. Have you looked into masking devices at all or gone to any kind of doctor in recent memory? In my honest opinion Tinnitus is THE worst thing that can physically happen to a person outside of serious illnesses like Cancer or other life threatening diseases. What helps make it this bad is the scary fact that there is basically nothing (at least nothing legitimate) that can be done about it. Even on the Tinnitus wikipedia page, it just goes on and on how there is virtually nothing that helps this dreaded thing.
In any event, I'm here for you man, as are all of us.
