I'm back a bit late though.
@zoomerang, what you say is absolutely right. I have had some TRT therapy which helped me a lot. Altough I must say. Some people have it in one ear, one sound. I have it in both, mostly 2 sounds, sometimes up to 5 different sounds. In my ears it's not way loud. But I know people who have got a tinnitus o 60 to 80dB. That sounds like a vacuum cleaner. So for those people it must be hard to ignore as it is always louder than anything around you.
On the other hand, I also have hyperacusis.
That is actually the worst thing ever, you can't ignore you have it because, when doing dishes, walking on a street and anything louder you experience pain and much discomfort by hearing certain sounds and noise. That has made my life a hell. I can't go to concerts, movies, parties, weddings, receptions, fireworks, fun stuff in town, shopping in loud(er) shops, walk past by people working on the street even doing regular stuff at home. Like vacuuming, mowing the lawn. Most of these thing are not even possible with the highest hearing protection existing.
So yeah tinnitus, most people can get over it...hyperacusis not. Half of the people can't even work anymore, let alone bear the sounds that their own children make. About 40% of people who get T after a concert get H too...
