Two months ago my wife and I moved us into an apartment after having stayed with her parents for three months. We did this in two days I was pretty pumped!
Finally got back out on are own not having to live with the in-laws its a good day.
The day after we moved in I could hear this ringing in my head I was to say the least a little freaked out.
After a week of dealing with this I finally just said enough is enough and went to the doctor; Of course they told me "Your ears look good give it a little while it will probably go away."
Of course they aren't going to reassure me why would they? My anxiety is at ten and on top of that I had other issues going on which didn't help my anxiety at all. Of course what many of you know now i didn't at the time anxiety can and most of the time make your tinnitus more noticeable and it did.
Well after a month I finally was able to go to a ENT specialist got my hearing test. They told me that I had scaring on my left ear and that I had lost some hearing that involved pitch. I have finally gotten to the point with this where my anxiety isn't taking over all the time which is great for me because it was worse than the tinnitus itself. Not saying that my tinnitus isn't bad its just my anxiety seemed to make everything worse.
The last two months I haven't used much to drown it out I did at first I used this rain app. I wasn't a fan to be honest I mean of course I would rather hear rain then ringing but I figured if I was going to have to live with this I better figure out how to deal with it as best I can. Which I understand that not everyone can do some have it way worse than I do.
Anyways most the time I fall asleep watching TV anyways so by the time I wake up to shut it off I'm to tired to care. Anyways I'm just rambling at this point so this is where I'm going to end this.
