I've had tinnitus since I was a teenager. It's never bothered me, and I assumed everyone had it. I don't usually notice it while focusing on anything else, and even sometimes use it as a meditation object (paying attention to the oscillations of the sound).
I sometimes wonder how many people have it, but don't notice the existence of it until later into adulthood (because they're not putting much attention on it).
- dorchadas 6y agoInteresting, I've never thought of using it as a meditation object. I might have to try that, as my tinnitus works the same as yours (I only notice it when it's super silent and I'm not working on something else)
- floatingatoll 6y agoI’m in your boat, where I take it for granted and use it to measure how tired my mind is (even if I’m not sleepy). Apparently not everyone has this positive of an adaptation to it.
