It's true that tinnitus doesn't have a known cure. We do know that some things tend to stimulate it in some people. Managing it is unique to each person who has it. Of course it also varies in intensity among individuals. My tinnitus usually sounds like crickets chirping. I can manage that as it's a more natural sound I remember from childhood. On the other hand, when it decides to come full blast like a very loud hum, it's not so easy. I'm thankful that it tends to go away quickly when it's like that. I know that happens most often if I'm under a lot of stress, so stress management is very important to me.
