Tinnitus, Deafness and Ear Problems Support Group
This group is for those coping with Tinnitus (ringing ears or ear noise), hearing loss, and all ear issues. Join to find support and get advice from others.
Checking back in...short personal history, I got minor tinnitus in 1982 (garage rock band). 20 some years later my tinnitus became severe (loud music at a wedding), so severe to thinking jumping in front of a speeding train was a strong consideration. I lived daily on Daily Strength and other Tinnitus help sites.
Where tinnitus was a 9 on a scale of 10 in my life. it's now about a 2 out of 10. I think it has gradually subsided over a period of time and I believe once I accepted it I became less distracted by it.
Just wanted to check in and report especially to those who are newer here.
I think you can check some archives of others and my posts from 10 or so years ago.
I'm really having some of the best days of my adult life.
An odd combination of faith and beer helped me in the earlier days (not recommending the beer for everyone)

It has for me.
Nice to see you here, and thank you for reporting that to us all.
I found distraction and meditation, and cognitive behavior therapy helps me cope. Also a therapist who works with hearing impaired and tinnitus clients.
