Does anyone here suffer with tinnitus?

Does anyone suffer from tinnitus? If so, anything you do to help decrease the ringing or take your mind off the ringing?

Yup. Mines not too bad, similar frequency to a CRT TV. It's always there but not bad enough to keep me from sleeping etc and i can forget about it sometimes.

No tips for decreasing it sorry mate. I'm conscious of things that exacerbate it like caffeine, alcohol, being tired, being sick.

I do everything i can to avoid further damage.

I find that when the ringing gets louder, it's related to higher blood pressure.  As I relax, the ringing decreases.  See if you find whether that relationship works for you too.

That reminds me, being stressed is another things that exacerbates it for me.

My daughter is the one with tinnitus.  She does have  anxiety/stress which I think  elevates  the ringing.
