[quote=Sedai]I was going to mention that - there are arguments that a sustained effort to distract yourself from it and avoid focusing in on it actually help minimize the effects. We run a quiet ocean sound machine at night and I can usually get right to sleep.[/quote]

[quote=TONGO][quote=Mr Minio]Yeah, I think I got it because I had listened to music in headphones for hours every day. Not loud or anything but I think the duration did it.

I ditched headphones about two years ago, started a better diet, and started working out & taking blood pressure meds, but the improvement, if any, is hardly noticeable. 

Mercifully, the tinnitus was never very loud to begin with, and obviously the more you focus on it, the louder it feels. It gets really loud only from time to time, usually when I'm very tired or very excited (which leads me to believe it might be a blood pressure-related thing, after all). It's also loud when I put on headphones that completely cover my ears and don't play any music on them. I guess the headphones simply mute all other environment sounds, thus making the tinnitus more noticeable.[/quote]
Mini do you suffer from dizziness at times?[/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio]Thank God since 2019 you no longer have to report taxes if you have a single source of income. First, your employer does one form for you and then the tax office does another form for you.[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]I am surprised mine isn't worse than it is currently, what with me being a total idiot when i was much younger, DJing at parties with headphones basically jumping off my head on their own they were up so loud. Also metal shows...I mean, I wear earplug now and have for years, but when I was younger... 

Oh well...the folly of youth.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=Mr Minio]Listening to Onkyo can be a crazy experience. I even found a composition whose pitch matched my tinnitus.[/quote]
My tinnitus hits a nasty note during the key change toward the end of the song "Penny Lane." It's exactly the same tone (but an octave or so lower) and it just kinda cuts right through my head for a few beats. Ugh.[/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio]I hoped that listening to it would cure my tinnitus, you know, treating iron with iron, but nope.[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf]okok ok. legit work time for me. happy day after VD, y'alls! have a great day and all that. once morning passes, at least.[/quote]
