I've had tinnitus for 20+ years. I've tried so many things from white noise, to acupuncture, psychotherapy, meditation, different supplementation, and more. There are a couple of parts in this video that demonstrate what tinnitus sounds like to a "normal" person (which is great to help people understand my condition). I really identify with one of his comments that his anxiety (both general and about the tinnitus itself) made his tinnitus worse. Unfortunately, the most affective treatment for me has been benzos, which has lead to a 10+ year reliance on those drugs. Now I am in the very slow and long process of trying to get off of them. Benzos never cured my tinnitus, but they made me feel less crazy and more adept at ignoring or not noticing it. Now, I just want to get back to just having tinnitus and no drug dependency.
