I did nothing and it worked wonders.

"Those of us who haven't had tinnitus can only imagine how maddening
it can be - a continual undercurrent of buzzing, ringing, roaring
sound in your ears. For some, it's only an occasional problem. But for
millions of people, it's a chronic condition that affects them every
day of their lives."

I've had it for 2 1/2 years now. It's not maddening. It's chronic, but
it doesn't affect me every day of my life. As a matter of fact, it
doesn't have any affect on my life whatsoever. Well OK, I am extra
aware of loud noises and try to avoid them and plug my ears when an
ambulance goes by etc. But other than that, nada.

"Sometimes the cause is easily identified and easily treated; a
bacterial infection, a virus, a nerve disorder, or even a medication
you're taking. But too often, there is no defined cause and no cure."

I'm glad that in seeing a couple of doctors, first my GP and then the
ENT I was referred to, I was able to dismiss the ringing as a warning
symptom of something serious requiring treatment. Wondering if you
have a tumor or whatever, doesn't exactly help with the initial
distress caused by contracting tinnitus.
I learned to live with it. Which is probably why that advice is so
readily dispensed by doctors. Is there some treatment that could
lessen the severity of my tinnitus? Medication, sound devices,
supplements/herbs? Possibly, but that doesn't matter to me, since I've
learned to live with it.

Tinnitus can be a catch 22 situation. The more you try different
methods of fixing it, relieving it and so forth, the more of a problem
it becomes, and the more of a problem it becomes, the less likely you
are to adjust to it. Ironically, I take several supplements that are
supposed to help tinnitus, but I take them for my overall health. If
they help my tinnitus in the process, I really wouldn't know, because
I've learned to live with it. BTW, I have *TINNITUS* LOUD CHRONIC
TINNITUS. Tinnitus that alters in pitch, WEEEEWOOOOWEEEEWOOOO. And did
I mention it's LOUD? When I came down with it, I did not at first
believe it was possible to learn to live with it. I said to myself,
"How can I possibly just ignore something this loud and persistent?
That's impossible." But, I gave it a try anyways, and it worked. Took
about a year to become fully effective, but it worked.

Just one tinnitus non suffer's experience.

Cheers.
