Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

I do yoga.

1.Puzzle or crossword with your morning coffee
2. Meditation
3. Perhaps a morning walk

Put a film on, do some gardening or shopping/long walk. Anything to distract your mind from the noise.

@SarahMLFlemmer does your tinnitus react, spike, or worsen to sound? If not, I would surround yourself with low level every day sounds. Put TV on, music, go outside. I SO wish my tinnitus was not reactive to sound, I probably wouldn't even be on this site if I could mask it.

@Strawberryblonde I am a homeschool mom, and I am so used to my routine and now it's just been flipped upside down since T.

@Strawberryblonde I'm actually out shopping right now and I can hear it over all the noise at Costco. "/

Costco is a busy place too, I'm so sorry <3 you may have to try many things till you can find something that suits you.
I can only go by what's worked for me coping wise. I'm used to mine somewhat more after having jt so long that I can tune it out but I still use distraction techniques @SarahMLFlemmer

@ErikaS I don't even know if mine spikes or reacts or not. It just seems moderate all day long.

@ErikaS I would say high frequency with 8/10 in volume. What would you rate yours?

@Strawberryblonde How long have you had T?

@SarahMLFlemmer i think you would know if it was spiking or reacting. For example, sounding louder, more intrusive, and/or aggravated after getting out of shower, driving, going into noisy store, etc.
Mine is about 3-6 sounds at any given time, 4/10 volume BUT so reactive and constantly changing pitch. Very high freq. also piercing like I can feel it.

@ErikaS I can definitely feel mine. I think my ears hurt from how loud it is.
