Hi mustafa,
Welcome to the forum.
Until now there is no real cure for tinnitus,there is nothing that will make it go away, so unfortunately no quick fix for the problem. But keep in mind that it can always go away by itself or get better with time. Even if it doesn't go away you will most certainly habituate to it. Also maybe there will be a good treatment in a few years.
For now, you can work with background music/nature sounds or a fan to cover it ( good while studying) try music therapy or relaxing with yoga

 

Thanks very much for this information
In fact, I feel happy here because I am not the only one who is suffering from tinnitus.
Thank you for your support to me
regard,
Mustafa

Mustafa, I remember feeling the same as you when it first began years ago, I am sorry you are having to deal with Tinnitus at a time you are needing to be at your best. I am sure being a medical student puts you under a lot of stress, that alone with lack of sleep can make it worse. I remember feeling alone and depressed, worried it would drive me crazy. I promise you will learn how to feel better about it.
I want to tell you that it may definitely get better in time, mine has, but it is important to start learning to adjust to it, learn to outsmart it by teaching your brain to ignore it, mask it with other sounds, make sure you get as much rest as possible, destress with meditation, and joining this support group will surely help you. Others will not understand how difficult this is to endure, especially in the beginning. Welcome.

I wish I had found this site years ago, just joined yesterday!

 

I will try it , thanks a lot for your cooperation

 

Thanks for helping me and encouraging me to face my tinnitus and I'll work hard by your advices.
