If we're sharing anecdotes here, I've been enjoying my chronic tinnitus for close to 20 years. It has developed after a bad flu and then never left. It's not a thing you can get used to, at least I haven't been able to.
- pigeonhole123 5y agoThere is some newish research that suggests that tinnitus can be treated by lowering chronic inflammation. This worked in my personal experience. Going low carb weakened my admittedly moderate tinnitus to below where I rarely notice it anymore. https://www.audiology-worldnews.com/research/3554-is-treatable-neuroinflammation-the-trigger-for-tinnitus https://www.audiology-worldnews.com/research/3554-is-treatab...
- noduerme 5y agoAs a guy who played very loud music for many years, I can relate. Until you said this I was sitting here in silence out in the country listening to frogs and now all I hear is that high whine. I think like a lot of other shit I just learn to tune it out.
- shoto_io 5y agoThis is so crazy. Now that I have read your comment I can clearly hear a high pitch sound which won't stop.
- noduerme 5y agosorry. Yeah, the parent poster did it to me. I didn't mean to pass it on. Don't worry. Put on Fugazi and smoke a joint... you won't remember this in a couple hours.
- 5e92cb50239222b 5y agoOh-oh, I clearly have done my share of bad things for the day. Did not mean to, apologies. Nothing really triggers this thing for me anymore, as it is always there.
- jrs235 5y agoDitto. Damn.
- Qub3d 5y agoI have it (played percussion as a kid). I find just relaxing and acknowledging the ringing as if I was meditating, not fighting it and letting it do what it will helps it pass. It will sort of grow really loud like a wave, then as I continue relaxing will fade.
