New Person in Group

65 years old. Retired professor.
Not sure how I got tinnitus. Have not been subject to a lot of high volume sound like a lot of people.
The sounds I hear are ringing, swishing, and insect noise. The latter is what tends to drive me crazy.
I can block the sound with an XM radio (music) or Sandisk music player.

I am trying to ignore it more. lately

 

Welcome Bryce. Sometimes it is hard to pin down the exact cause of tinnitus. Perhaps natural hearing loss due to aging can cause this, like what I have. I have hearing loss in the high frequency so my T is very high pitch. TT has a thread with resources to help new members. This link gives you some advice as well as masking sounds. Hope you find some sounds soothing to mask your tinnitus.
