For me, it’s at it’s worse when I’m trying to sleep. Fans are pretty much required to sleep. Most of the day I don’t hear it because I’m rarely anyplace quiet enough. To be honest, I don’t really think about it much anymore. I have learned to live with it for the most part. There have been times I’ve had to sleep places where it’s quiet and that suuuucks. I do listen to music alot, that helps calm me.

If depression is what’s bothering you hobbies really helped me alot. I started playing video games which helped with the depression from my tinnitus and also my OCD. I’ve gotten better and then worse and then better again. I’m in an okay place right now. I’m looking forward to the future. I know what I want and I know I can get it if I put my mind to it.

Tinnitus sucks ass, but it can suck less. I don’t know how bad you have it but if its way worse than mine there are still ways to help cope. Brown noise is great and I can highly recommend it, even better than the fan maybe. There are certain types therapy that can help as well. I haven’t looked into it much however.

I’d focus most on doing things that make you happy. Also spending time with people that make you happy if possible. It’s kind of hard these days, I should know.

I never know how to end a wall of text so here’s the last paragraph and sentence.

Edit: I also remembered the rapper K.Flay went completely deaf in her right ear. She’s still out there making music and living her life. So, try not to let tinnitus keep you down. Never admit defeat, keep on living your life as best you can.

Most musicians have tinnitus too so at least we’re not alone.
