I'm keen to learn about people living with #tinnitus

I have 4 types (in both ears):
- low hum
- high pitched squeal
- pulsatile
all the time, and also musical when I'm tired.

(People ask me why I'm angry all the time....sigh)

If you have tinnitus, what is it like?

Boosts appreciated!

@kaffando I have tinitus in both ears, always, over 15 years now. Since 1 year I have hearing-aids. It has been better since, I guess my hearing is more relaxed with the aids in.

It is never gone, but the hearing-aids help (for me) to make it bearable.

I'm sorry to hear that (excuse the pun!). Yes, putting some sound into your ear does help, so hearing aides can reduce it a bit. I've learnt to put my hearing aid in when I get up, rather than waiting until later in the morning, which helps a little.

I think it's a reasonably common thing to have.
