>>37945589>
>How long have you had it
noticed it a few years ago.

>Does anything help
only white noise videos on youtube

>Are we fucked
pretty much i think. i don't think there's a cure or anything, just prevention

>>37945589
I had it since i was born
I thought it was normal and that everyone had it until i found out what tinnitus was
Is there a cure?

my ears only ring loudly when there's no noise
I can kinda tune it out
I've had it for as long as I can remember
what's it like not having tinnitus?
what does complete silence even sound like?

I have pulsatile tinnitus that comes and goes. That's the fucking worst.

Op here, yeah I had the same thing, my ears have always been a problem, I have a lot of infections and my ear drum pooped as a kid, but I remember as a very young child (like my first memories) of first really fully noticing it

>What does complete silence even sound like?
There's no such thing as 'complete' silence. There's always some kind of room noise. I heard somewhere that if you were in a room that canceled all outside noise you would be driven mad by the sounds of your own body.

I've had it for as long as I remember. Although I can drown it out with my thoughts. When I sleep I usually turn my fan on and set the sleep timer on my tv on while having that on low volume.

>sees thread
>notices tinnitus for the first time in weeks

Fuck you anon

So what you're saying is.... tinnitus is robot approved? We're built by default with ambient sounds so a room of canceled sound wouldn't affect us same way as normies

>>37945682
This might be the dumbest fucking thing ive ever heard

>Put your hands over your ears with your fingers pointing behind your head so your middle fingers meet and touch at the back of your head.
>Rest your index fingers on top of your middle fingers and apply pressure downwards onto your middle fingers.
>With the pressure still applied, slide your index fingers off your middle fingers so they hit the back of your head.
>If you will hear a deep thump your doing it right
>Repeat this thumping around 30 to 40 times.
>When you remove your hands the tinnitus sound should be much quieter or gone.

Thank me later

he's talking about one of those sensory deprivation rooms. apparently some people have claimed they hear the blood coursing through their veins and can hear their central nervous system or some shit

>>How long have you had it
Few years
>> Does anything help
Have fans on with timer when you're trying to sleep and wear earplugs for loud events so you don't make it worse
>> Are we fucked
We're fucked with or without tinnitus.
