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.

    trains the brain to ignore the tinnitus noise.

    I think this is key. Easier said than done, but it helps. I use meditation techniques. Yep there is the noise nothing I can do about it and move on.
