Today I took a nap with the earplugs I recently bought. I slept for three hours in the most complete and beautiful silence. These things are a one-way trip; I didn't want to take them off. It was a great relief for my brain and greatly reduced my tinnitus.

@cesarpose I wasnt aware of the potential connection of autism with tinnitus. That makes sense. Thank you, I will have a look on earplugs as well

Well, in addition to autism, I have other conditions, autoimmune diseases, such as progressive neurogenic hearing loss. I can hear, but I don't understand what I hear very well, and that's compounded by auditory hypersensitivity. Being in silence is very important to me.

@cesarpose I see. Well, hope those earplugs keep helping you :) and thank you again, I've had tinnitus for a while and never made the connection there.
