Tinnitus is weird. When I first had it I heard it all the time, it ruined my enjoyment of music, and I felt I was cursed for life. These days I can go for weeks without even realising it's there. I'd literally forgotten about it until I read this.
- mhandley 7y agoI've had tinnitus for 40 years, accompanied by deafness in one ear, due to inner ear damage caused by getting Mumps when I was 13. If I focus on it, it's really loud - I can easily hear it over a loud pub environment, and it's there all the time. But the brain is amazingly adaptive - if I don't focus on it, it doesn't annoy me, and I forget it is there.
