Hi everyone,
I’ve been dealing with tinnitus for a while now, and it’s starting to take a toll on my daily life. I’m reaching out to see if anyone here has experience with tinnitus and could share some advice or personal stories on how you manage it.
A bit about my situation:
- I first noticed the ringing in my ears 5 years ago.
- It seems to be worse at night and in quiet environments
- I’ve tried white noise, antidepressants, but nothing seems to provide long-term relief.
What I’m looking for:
- Personal experiences: How has tinnitus affected your life, and what has helped you cope?
- Management strategies: Are there any specific techniques or lifestyle changes that have made a difference for you?
- Have you seen a specialist or tried any treatments that you found effective?
I appreciate any insights or advice.
I would consider seeing an audiologist. Generally they deal with people with hearing loss but I’ve seen mention of tinnitus at mine and I think some hearing aids come with tinnitus suppression, so I’d be surprised if it isn’t something they can help with.
