What I learned to do is: 1) to accept that it will never go away. This helped me to avoid the anxiety that use to come from feeling helpless to solve the issue; 2) To ignore it. This works for me about 80% of the time. Just like we don't always hear the stomach rumble, or the heart beating, the mind can be trained to control what sound is focus and what sounds can run in the background.  The phenomenon that I am describing is referred to as accommodation and there is conversation about it in the field of Psychology. Meditation can help to train the mind to re-direct one's consciousness. It works just like it does when we are focusing on something so intensely that we never hear what someone is saying right in front of us. It was sometimes embarrassing to have to ask the person to repeat themselves, but I learned how it works from thinking about it differently. This is not a prescription for anyone...just me sharing my story. 

There will come a day where I wont have to hear it any longer. Just a matter of when.   🤣🤣

The root cause for tinnitus is a nutritional deficiency. It is caused by osteoporosis of the skull. The base of the skull is squeezing the auditory nerve that extends out of the spinal cord. A lot of the cause of the deficiency is in the food being consumed. Processed meats, fried foods, oil, fats, carbonated drinks of any kind, including carbonated water. Glutens, including wheat, barley, rye and oats. So no white bread, beer, oatmeal and related cereals. 

 

Get the book, It's All In Your Head, by Joel Wallach. Also, read, Dead Doctors Don't Lie.

I guess my skull has been squeezing the nerve since I was 13 years old. I do take solace that it's not only me but it affects millions of others as well. Some just have a mild case of it, where others like myself it can be severe and debilitating. It would certainly drive a deaf person insane.

That very well could be. Again, it would depend on your diet growing up. I, too, have the same affliction, only in a much more milder form. I've cut out a lot of the 'bad' foods and it has helped in other areas and the tinnitus is diminished some. Sitting here typing, I notice it. Most of the time I simply do what a previous posted wrote about. I do my best to put it on the ignore list and it's not always that easy.

I eat the same stuff today that I had back 50 years ago. I can still get to sleep at night but it takes a little while to get into a deep sleep. I have gotten used to it over the years. I'm 64 now so I only have about 10 to 12 years to listen to it.

You answer is in your reply.

You are continually poisoning yourself. Just like an alcoholic, only with food. 

I'm a year older than you and now that I have a chance to change things in my diet, I'm going to. I can't just eat anything while on the road. I have to make simple sandwiches that I can eat while I drive. Again, white bread. I haven't found a gluten free bread yet. At least not one that tastes so bad, you'd rather not eat. Gluten is what stops the digestive track from absorbing the vitamins and minerals in the food. 

I put fresh meats and cheeses on the sandwiches, not processed deli stuff. I gave up the chips and sodas and opted for water. Am I happy about it? No! I like the sugar and taste of Coke. I like greasy potato chips. But, if I don't try, I'll never know. 

Just 3 more days until retirement and I can make bigger changes in my diet.

Working up to Steak & Potatoes.   The wife will keep you busy.  🤣🤣

I don't need the wife to do it. I like staying busy. I have a list of things to keep me plenty busy. If I sat around being lazy, I would become a drunken stoner. That's the last thing I want.

A new technical word for Tinnitus is FUCKER
