Hello All, I'm 22 and Have Had Tinnitus My Whole Life

It used to be something I thought everybody heard. When I was about 12 I was surprised when I found out its not. I had mentioned about how the ringing in my ears that gets louder when its quiet is annoying sometimes and the person who I was talking too didn't know what I was talking about. It's never really bothered me too much. It's easily something I don't notice 98% of the time. I can see how it wouldn't be fun to suddenly get it though.

Anyhow hello! If you have any questions about my experience let me know.

 

Welcome to the forum. Habituation is an objective for those of us whose T won't go away or even fade. I guess if we can manage to treat T as part of our being (something like you), then there will be no painful emotional resistance to T. Sometimes when the mental suffering aspect of T is much reduced, T becomes much more manageable. Anyways, welcome to TT and your contribution to helping newer sufferers will be much appreciated.
