I’ve had tinnitus my entire life and think my case is genetic. There was a brief period in my life where I started reading about it and got pretty stressed I could hear it while trying to sleep. That compounded in on itself and it had me worried for a while. Eventually started meditating, stopped really caring, and never think about it anymore. Every now and then I’ll hear it, but I can focus on my breathing and just get back to life. If I focus, sure, it’s always there, but why bother?
From what I understand some people can get very loud cases. I’m not sure how I’d deal with that.
Daily user of airpods for years, and no changes to my tinnitus.
- salex89 6y agoSame here. I think I have it as long as I can remember. At a few points in my life it was slightly "noisier" but I think it was some kind of ear infection (once confirmed) or debris. In a very quiet room I would hear it, and if I investigate online I only get very anxious. It might be related to sinus issues I also have. But what helped me with those other issues (like itchy ears) is to listen to my doctor (no pun intended) to "forget" I have ears. Only wash the outer most part of the ear and leave it to do it's part. Wax, although unappealing, is nothing bad and is actually protective. I cleanse it with a hydrogen and olive oil spray mixture from the pharmacy every few months.
