> I have tinnitus. It was 6 months of agony, then I started to ignore it. It wasn't a conscious decision, the ignoring happened automatically. I only have the high pitched ringing in my ears when it's quiet. It literally feels like a curse though, I can't hear silence.
My tinnitus generally doesn't bother me on a psychological level, so I feel fairly lucky in that regard. I just wish I didn't have it all the time and I end up drowning it out with music. I'd kill to be able to experience actual silence again when I'm trying to sleep or just want to sit around and relax.

- jitendrac 7y agoMy tinnitus is high pitched but not loud enough to ruin my life, It took almost 6 months to overcome the mental trauma. Making some hard-ruled habit worked, I meditate every day morning and have a good walk of an hour in evening. I almost never skipped walk unless it is raining. I have same desire for experiencing silence, silence is golden.
