Do you have hearing aids? If so, you can actually do some therapy through those to try to figure focus off the tinnitus I feel for you. It’s such a fluctuating situation and it can be really frustrating. If I can think about any other ideas, I’ll reach out to see an audiologist?

I do. I decided to get them with my hair and started to go just to be prepared. Because my hearing and kept fluctuating so much, I decided to to be proactive and get a pair. I had to wait a bit for them to come in and then you meet with the audiologist they fit you they work with you on them to get Settings to ask you how comfortable you are with. They do take a bit to adjust. They do make things a little bit louder and sometimes uncomfortable but if you share all of that with your audiologist, they will help you get them to be better for you. You can get programs you can use your iPhone what’s really cool is I actually use them through Bluetooth so you can listen to the radio you can listen to the Tinnitus therapy. You can answer your phone. You can listen to music And get your messages from your phone. It’s actually very cool and since my hearing loss is minimal right now, there’s a lot further to go with the hearing aids, so I personally would recommend it if they feel you could benefit from them. I know the tinnitus can be really frustrating , but I will tell you that mine has gotten better. It also does have flareups I’m not gonna lie but those flareups are generally when I’ve been in a very loud place. I’m getting angry or really stressed or frustrated or I had a lot of sodium or a lot of alcohol, which I’m not a big drinker to drinks once in a while but those things seem to trigger it so I’m trying to just kind of do what they suggest. Good luck with everything. Keep me posted on how things progress. If I get any other information I will definitely pass it onto you.
