It sucks.

I was young and dumb and had loud music all the time. Dozens of concerts right up against the speakers, all that stuff.

I've had moderate tinnitus for at least a decade. The white noise is a coping mechanism that I've used since it started, but I didn't realize it until maybe 3 or 4 years ago when my wife wanted no TV on, and I always had the TV on... when it is silent, there are times where the tinnitus will take over, but the background noise masks it.

I've gotten used to it, though. It's there, 100% of the time if I pay attention, but even right now, in a silent morning house, it's not bothersome, it's just something that's there.

Good luck in your process.

Like STR said -- hearing protection is still important. Now I'm doing a good bit of work in my garage shop and wearing hearing protection and safety glasses and masks/respirators. All of which were lacking in my previous work endeavors.

As my grandmother always told me, "we get too soon old undt too late schmart" -- old Pennsylvania Dutch saying that came from an older German saying. They knew what was up.

hearing test scheduled for 23rd, will have some numbers to look at I guess.
It does not appear there is any remedy for tinnitus.

CEO of Texas Roadhouse found a remedy. :rip:
