Tinnitus- any suggestions?

It will probably reduce over time. It requires patience which is hard with noise in our ears! Doctors don't have much to offer other than "put it on the back burner." The brain does adjust and the noise goes into the background of your awareness.

Given the cause, I am also wondering if yours is temporary.

Often hearing loss is a trigger: the brain tries to fill the void with noise- or at least that is what docs have told me. It sounds like yours was triggered by changes in air pressure so hoping it is there for just a short time.

ps I hear mine now because I am writing about tinnitus!!

windy!
It’s great to see you here!
I hope you’re right about it going away. I do have an ENT appointment coming up. I wear headphones all day to talk to clients. I’ve turned that volume down.
My GP (40 year old), was a little condescending about it. It sounds like white noise.
If nothing can be done, I will adapt and keep moving.

It never goes away..you might try masking sounds machine..there is no cure..I have had it for over 30 years...sometimes makes me very anxious..
