I think the best fix for tinnitus is simply acceptance. Once you accept it, you will hardly notice it. Now i know that this is far far easier said than done. But i had / have very bad tinnitus. To the point that i was very very distraught. I even flew over from the US to Ireland to spend thousands and buy Leniere, which didn't help. And yes it still annoys me when i think about it. And yes its always there. But keeping my mind busy, staying off anything like tinnitustalk and i can go for hours on end without even realizing it. Look at it this way. Do you think about the traffic you hear outside? or if you're on holiday somewhere, the constant sound of cicadas ? No because your mind doesn't perceive it as a threat, and without realizing it you just start ignoring it as background noise. Now you can't tell me the noise of cicadas isn't as intrusive as tinnitus ? The same can be said about tinnitus. Its an annoying noise, that we just want gone, and cos you can't get rid of it, it sends you down a dark path. But once you accept that hey this is here to stay, and just get on with it, before you know it you'll stop realizing its there and minutes turns into hours, and eventually hours turns into days. Some days it so loud that there's F.ALL you can do, other than force yourself to keep busy.. That's the days you make sure you're keeping yourself occupied. Hands on.. Like do the gardening, or clean the house / car. We've all got chores to do in our life. That's my medicine.. Keep my mind off it. and it'll retreat into the background.
