I can't deal with Tinnitus I am losing it
Heya fellas,
I do not even know what type of tinnitus I have anymore. It started 10 years ago as a hissing sound and I got used to it. Then after extreme stress 6-7 years ago I suddenly developed a second sound that is like a "weewoo weewoo" siren. Three years ago I developed a third sound plus constant numbness and painful pinches around my head.
The last 1.5 years after another period of severe stress everything became much louder. I cannot mask it anymore because all 3 sounds are different frequencies. If I cover one I hear the others.
The worst part is that traffic sound, fans, when traveling with buses, trains, aeroplanes, fridges or driving with the window open make it even louder instead of covering it. It feels like my head turns into an ambulance siren.
I had a CT scan that found nothing and I am still waiting to see an ENT. I am honestly losing my mind and having constant catastrophic thoughts because I cannot deal with this 24/7.
Is there any kind of hope for this? Either it's habituation or is there any other hope that I can at least decrease the volume so I will not notice it as much?
