Tinnitus is kind of like physical pain. There's many different levels of it.
Comparing mild, relatively easily maskable tinnitus with severe tinnitus is wrong in my opinion.
That said, no doubt about it, over the years I've seen people with mild tinnitus being emotionally severely affected by their faint tinnitus, while sometimes those with louder tinnitus cope with it better. But usually it's not like that.
As a rule though, I would argue that louder tinnitus is much harder to habituate to. There is little to no escape from it unlike from milder tinnitus.
And I hardly remember many people sticking around here for a longer time if they have milder tinnitus; usually these people experience it louder, from my experience.
You have good odds coming to grips with it. Happy New Year!

My tinnitus got severly worse, last 2 months, but last 5 days is... unbarable no meds can calm it down, i am just in bed, and i wish to die. I have parents and I am only chield. They both my parents seen me, days spent in bed.
Tinnitus made me crazy, violent, from warm heart kind guy i became a monster i am ashamed of. I cant stand humans. I just feel very strong end is neer and I made my peace with it. I would like to survive until this summer just to go to coast line to se Dubrovnik one more time and to swim in a sea. I would help some friend to move to USA on pretence of my "partner" just to be supposrt to him and he be supposrt as it is hard to live aline, specialy to go buy food when you speand days in bed.
My hearing if falling down, I dont know should i look for experiments with a steem cells. I dont know. Medical services are out of money and they are not interested to help without huge money...
I am lost I wish I fall a sleep and die.
# years ago i could study, then t went up and i could nto but i used trobalt and got 4 months free of tinnitus with severe side effects on cognition. Then i played a game to kill the time but game had in course of one year got so much worse that i had to quit, i read books that couse t to spike in 40 minutes and i gave up on it, i watchet tw shows that to today i rewind as there is so much stress.
in feb this year i had few gray har (namely 3) in my pubic hears, and 10 on chest, not there is 30% white, last 3 months my beard was to check for laser removal ( i have no strenght to shave strong beard any more), now when i went lady told me my beard turned totaly white on cheeks and neck and there is nothing that can be done.
Tinnitus is grinder machine, it is killing me sun of a b*** but if does not kill me. Why it dont kill me. I know Netherland aproved eutanasia now without reason, poor people can go there and ask for it cos they are poor... but I suppose it is for Duch only.
I hate my life and all i survived in it, war, maltretment and wotk as chield with loud carpenter machines... today i am finished, i keep silent while grinder machine is killing me.
Many will say they have tinnitus, mild one that is killing them, I have loud one that is chronick progressive very severe tinnitus with hyperacusis and progresive hearing loss. I wish to die. God if there is something like that is not let in me to die. I wish i have a ncancer. I am broken. I have nothing. What ever i do it spikes tinnitus. I cant make a food any more cos of noise of kitcheh, i just wish i am not here any more, i cant stand it, those who beleave please pray i just die. If there is airplane that will crush i would go with a peace in my heart in it.
I just need this to end. I became a monster. When i get a tinnitus honestly and someone come and start presuring me i would rip of his neck without thinking and not feel any remorse. That is what real tinnitus makes of so kind and nice people who never in life and pfisical fight. <i never hit anyoneone in life but a guy when i was 9 who run into my hand and fell down, i streched it to protect myself as he was running toward me. So de facto he hit me.
My Xmass wish is that I die, and new year. I dont care will and how will my parents take it, i just wish if there is God to hear my plea and help me move on. Please God if you hear my pray let me go from this blasing chains that are burning my sould and cousing pain, please please let me die.
