I've Had It Since I Was Born.

Hi. I'm mark. Ever since I was a kid, I always could never get to sleep. An extremely high pitched sound would always plague my everyday life. I always assumed this was how everyone lived and that I was making a big deal of it.

At around the age of 9 I was an internet addict sadly and looked it up.

Turns out that everyone else was fine. Since then, it has gotten a little louder over the years. At age 11 my underbite caused TMD (temperomandibular disorder) which I assume goes along with my tinnitus.

 

Welcome to the forum

Tinnitus at any age is horrible, but having it at a younger age can help you adapt and adjust your life based on your condition. I got mine when i was much younger and over time it can get a little easier. it still takes patience and motivation to move forward in life.

my tinnitus started off as a low hiss/sound and due to foolishness/loud sounds and certain meds...my tinnitus is not maskable now, but i'm still happy and live my life and don't let tinnitus limit me too much. Protect your ears and enjoy yourself
