Hi, I live in UK and suffer quite bad.  I've had a history of rock concerts,
sub aqua diving and bad diet, curries, beer etc which makes it hard to tie
down the root cause.
Generally is it better to just try and put up with it or is there any value
in seeking help as I understand it's not curable?

The human body is complicated - they don't make them like they used to. Just
as there are many possible causes of hypertension, eye problems, etc just so
there are many causes of tinnitus. What about the huge number of persons who
do what you do but double and don't have tinnitus. It is true that often we
don't find an exact cause, but what if we do in your situation? Suggest a
routine check up and then referral to a specialist if indicated.
Best wishes,

Robert,
There is no sure thing treatment, and it is quite rare that someone finds a
treatment that completely works.  However, some things can help.  I assure
you, if there was a sure cure, everybody here would go to it, if it was
affordable.  But, the action of hoping your tinnitus will go away can make
it worse.  For me, my T actually gets better when I am about to see the ENT
or chiropractor, or even if I read something that gives me hope of a cure.

I would seek treatment, but the best treatment is to convince yourself that
you can live with your T.

I am under the impression that the medical system in UK is quite
good.  Have you visited a doctor yet?

Whether your T is curable or not is irrelevant.  The relevant thing is
whether or not a treatment can make your life less miserable or more
livable.  I think treatment like that is available.  I did it and I
know it.
