I have just discovered Medium so apologies for this delayed comment.

I totally agree that you have to find your own way of dealing with tinnitus. For most, it is learning to deal with it so you can live with it. I’ve had tinnitus, hearing loss and Meniere’s disease for over 23 years now. It all started when I was 15 years old and my tinnitus is really loud. The rest is history so there is no point going over that part.

After all this time, I have found that being happy is the only way to kick the s*!t out of tinnitus.

Happiness doesn’t give tinnitus a chance to mess with your head because you are mentally stronger compared to when you are unhappy.

Thanks for sharing your experience! :)
