    Not the same by the sound of it, my hearing is exceptional for my age and career path.

    Sorry to hear your hearing has deteriorated to such a degree, I hope you’re able to tune it out/sleep through it.

      I cope pretty well with it. Some people get really depressed when it happens to them. Im okay if there’s noise. At night I listen to podcasts and use a fan next to my bed. At work it’s less noticeable, although fir some reason people think it’s fine to be mean if a coworker can’t hear very well.

      For me I had intermittent ringing for a year or two. It would always go away quickly. Then, one morning, I woke up with this much louder chirping sound that’s always there.

      I was a metal head. Too many gigs and loud earbuds.
