    I used to listen a lot to music with headphones on. It's probably the reason why i have tinnitus. Now i don't listen to music as often anymore, only when i'm on pc with speakers instead of headphones. Music can be a good thing tho since it masks the sound of tinnitus, just be careful you don't...

    Tinnitus Masking: MP3s, CDs, YouTube, Other Audio

    When I first had tinnitus I used to find sound masking very helpful to sleep at night. But after a year I care less about it, tinnitus has become the normal background sound by now. You just turn a fan on, or get a dedicated white noise generator: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H6WXUX8/...

    Found a Set of Supplements That Reduced Tinnitus by More Than 70%

    The only thing that worked for me is hemp oil: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RQCVX16/ But if you want it to have a really noticeable effect you need to buy with CBD and THC in it. It doesn't make the tinnitus less worse but you are more relaxed and seem to care less.

    Floaters

    I also have eye floaters, I find them even more annoying than my tinnitus. There is surgery available but I'm a bit scared doing that. What works is wearing sunglasses when you are outside. Because the brighter the light source you are looking at the more you see the floaters.

    Smoking Spiked My Tinnitus?

    E-sigs are not healthy, it's better to not consume nicotine. But vaping is much healthier than normal smoking. I quit smoking myself now i vape and i can really notice the difference.
