I've learned to shift my attention away from the tinnitus to "think" Oh the refrigerator turned on again and forget / not focus on the tinnitus anymore. Tinnitus is very annoying and eats away energy it requires to pay extra attention to your health and mood and your attention. You might ALSO be very stressed and burnout and blame everything on tinnitus, eliminate other issues and stress factors Since you do not seem to have a clear loud noise event in the days prior to the tinnitus look for other health issues like a old root canal treatment https://youtu.be/YK8RD3gzmwg I had to change my life to avoid all loud noises and events it's HARD but you get used to the limitations. |

My money is on COVID vaccine, which is emerging as a known likely cause of hearing damage: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8443418/
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/tinnitus-rare-sid...
I don't buy the "rare" BS, and it's time to take publications to task for declaring that something is rare without the scientific rigor necessary to make that claim. The far-more-likely truth is that it's wildly UNDER-REPORTED. I didn't find out about the connection until I was referred to a highly reputable clinic by my ENT, who never mentioned it. But to the clinic it was a known correlation. So... did they report it to some statistics-keeping organization on my behalf? Did my ENT? I doubt it.
I reported it through VAERS, but if you consider all the hurdles I had to make it through to file that one report... you get a tiny minority of cases recorded. I had the time, money, and wherewithal to go to three doctors until I found one who knew what he was looking at. Then I was informed and motivated enough to make the report.
I suspect this is a much bigger problem than is being admitted. Just like Cipro and its ilk destroying tendons for two decades before the FDA finally put a warning on it... and corticosteroids ruining people's vision by causing central serous retinopathy.
