No tinnitus but hearing loss. I've been a musician for over 30 years, so it kind of goes with the territory, especially since I hate ear plugs/in-ear monitors.

Yeah. Went to too many metal concerts in bad venues. About 4 years ago, I saw a friend playing and the volume was up so loud and the acoustics so poor, you couldn't understand any of it.

Yes. Wondering how to train my brain to ignore it without having something loud enough to completely overtake it.

Has anyone here tried bone conduction earphones? If you did, did they make a difference?

In my experience distracting myself from thinking about it helps my brain tune it out. Fixating on it and thinking about it makes my brain more aware of it.

It will always be there and you may notice it from time to time but persistently focusing on distractions helps overtime

Pretty sure I've had it all my life, but did not realize I had something abnormal since it's far from a serious case. I just figured it was just normal that occasionally you'd get a high-pitched whine at random times, since I realized early on I was hearing a similar tone from up to two houses away when my parents would turn on their old CRT TV.

If you have severe tinnitus I recommend going to a doctor because they really have a lot of treatment options nowadays. Or looking into online tinnitus treatment programs that use audio fuckery to correct it so your brain stops processing it.

I developed some minor tinnitus from being sat next to a loud motor for months as part of a job. I would walk away with my ears ringing every day, and then when I laid down in bed or wherever else quiet, it felt uncomfortably loud EEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH noise.

For me I've never found any form of static that worked, never been into white noise or any variant thereof.

BUT this sound therapy WORKED WONDERS for my tinnitus in specific. I would listen to it multiple times a day via earbuds (listening via speakers didn't seem to work) and after maybe two months, I never really get bothered by my tinnitus anymore.

There are also websites online where you identify your type of tinnitus, and then it creates audio therapy via shit I don't super understand but it seems to actually work. From what I understand those types of sound therapy work the best for people with the EEEEEEEE types of tinnitus while I had a more static-y, SHSHSHSHEHEHSHSHSHHEHSHSHS tinnitus that the audio therapy isn't as straightforward for because it's over a broader spectrum of frequencies.

yes. wear earplugs
AirPods Pro paired with an iPhone help. you can drill down into disability settings to turn on white noise and then put the earbuds in passthrough mode. it masks the ringing on the go when it gets really bad but you can still hear people.

I get it sometimes in one ear for like ten seconds rarely. That's weird and I don't get why that happens.

Yeah, once every while i will be just sitting on my ass in complete silence and next second my left ear will be ringing like some one rang a gong next to me.

On both ears, for twenty years now. Got it via firing a pistol and thanks to being a yuropeen nogunz i didn't think to bother with ear protection. I learned to live with it, doesn't bother me in the slightest anymore. That kid from "Baby Driver" is a weak faggot.

Same. Very sensitive to noise that doesn't register for most people.
