I have a friend who has tinnitus and they complain about it a lot.

Has anyone on EDF a good solution to ease this condition?

I've lived with it for about 20+ years, it's not going away.

It wanes and peaks at different times, but it's always there. And being there means you cant fight it, so you have to learn to live with it.

I've a few observations and strategies. Background sound can distract, and tension can exasperate it. But I now carry around many pairs of the little blue silicon swim earplugs from Boots. And every now and then I retreat from the outside sounds and reboot with 10 mins of isolation wearing these. I can still chat, but it cuts out the background chatter, specially in busy places.

And once i'm in the place that's less hectic, I take them out and enjoy the clarity and reduction in the tinitus. It works for me.

That's interesting Seabag . Isn't the tinnitus worse with the ear plugs in ? It's common isn't it for it be worse when things are quiet ,hence the background noise treatment .

I have tinnitus .I hate it sometimes .

I find it difficult to quantify how often I have it. Asking question makes you aware of it!

I think it is the transition from loud to soft that brings it on. But once i am aware of it putting head ir earphones makes me feel i am fighting it. A change of scene hrlos which is difficult if you are say queueing for something.
