For me, after 20'ish years with tinnitus, the only thing that brings the buzz to the foreground is reading/hearing the word "tinnitus".

- jay_kyburz 1y agoHaha, its funny you say that because I've been reading a novel at the moment where the main character has debilitating tinnitus, and every time the author describes it, I can hear my own.
- piva00 1y agoAlmost the exact thing to me, 20+ years of tinnitus which sits calmly in the background most of the time except when I read the word tinnitus, or I'm feeling anxious for some reason: when I can't fall asleep when I need a good rest, life stresses, and those moments when a different pitch shows up in one ear and louder. In those occasions I can clearly hear the tone of mine. It's mildly annoying but I've definitely learnt to live with it pretty ok.
- patricklewis 1y agoSame here! Just reading the title of this post made me aware of mine for the first time all day.
