I've had tinnitus since I was pre-verbal probably. I don't remember not having it. When I was a tween, I said to my mom, "you know that ringing everyone has in their ears." The look she gave me. Ha. But I consider it a blessing that I got it early. It's my normal. Can't imagine getting it later. :(

Yes, I can understand that point of view. I got mine in my 30s and have been struggling with it for 30+ years, sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much.

Don, I'm so sorry. I cannot imagine how hard it would be to develop it having experienced clarity of hearing previously.

Thanks. You’re right - I still remember complete silence and really miss it a times. The odd thing was the first few years weren’t so bad. But then one year I had a very stressful year work-wise, and it got a lot louder and much more intrusive.🧵

I started using maskers at that point and sort of got it under control, and now it’s kind of up and down; sometimes it bothers me, but a lot of the time i don’t really notice it.
