there are people here who have habituated to defeaning loud tinnitus.

Stronger people than me surely. What's fucking with me is going to sleep in silence and waking up 4 hours later with blaring tinnitus.

I am not encouraging habitation, I am just telling you what is observed on the forum. I prefer following hearing loss and tinnitus research.

One of my girlfriend's PT clients has intermittent tinnitus and has habituated well. She got it from working in a puppy shelter - yelping dogs all day - and she is coping very well. I hope you do, too.

Thanks, I'm working on it. Not doing very well on my bad days 4 months, getting worse as I'm realizing this probably isn't temporary. And the T is just the topping on a chronic pain condition and life long sleep problems.

Is the tinnitus appearing more often or is it that the severity is increasing?

I’m sorry to hear about the other conditions compounding the problem. I hope you’re staying vigilant with your ears

It's been appearing less often the last month, but when it does it's more severe. Always wearing earplugs when outside of my apartment and I've stopped using headphones. Not sure if low music through speakers is giving me spikes or not, maybe I'll stop that for a while as well. The problem is that creating music is the most important thing in my life

Thanks for your concern, I hope you are doing OK at your end

You should stop using the headphones. Hope you feel better soon.
