How I dealt with Tinnitus & my experience

The reason I'm here today is because I spent hours and days and weeks reading on tinnitus and trying to find a cure or a sense of relief as to what it is and why it happened.   And I promised myself to come back and share my experience along with the millions in the world.

on the 4th of Feb I woke up in the middle of the night with a sudden loud ringing in my ear that  came out of nowhere. I don't listen to loud music. . never been to a concert however I        believe it was either triggered naturally or my severe symptoms of sinus where pain runs through my face uncontrollably or it could be a mental state I was in. I was very distressed that week and I could not snap out of my   unhappiness  that week due to an experience I had. God knows where along the way it was triggered.  what I done? the first week I had anxiety from T I thought that was the end of my life so I thought it was going to get worse... I didn't sleep and also kept trying to listen out the sound in my ears every few minutes throughout the day and was scared why it happened. mind you it was not loud it was just an echo and high hissing sound In quiet places i noticed mostly that freaked me out that I never had. I realized my dad also had it and he told me he doesn't notice the crickets in his ear just goes along with his day he's too busy. so I saw an ENT specialist. He told me there's nothing to do but relax stop thinking about it and it only lessens from here. No one gave me an answer.  I hurt my neck that week a massage therapist gave me a spasm lasting a month which was worse than T. I then went to a physio  who fixed the problem and told me my T is nothing compared to the world's problems and became my therapist for a day and resolved my problems. I don't know how but I slept so well that night and forgot about my problems for the first time in 6 months... my neck pain was gone so was my severe sinus as the season ended.. my T I'm not sure I think I was so caught up in feeling better I forgot about it and started to focus on how much I loved my sleep and what one amazing therapist reflected on my life changed me that minute. for the first time in my life I can't even hear my alarm from how how much I feel so relaxed. I know it's very slight now and I know possibly when your prone to it it's likely to come back worse in future...  But I could never hear it anymore I feel so normal because my mind is never  on T it's the mindset I have that yes I'm. normal like everyone else and there's worse issues in the world. not one person does not have an issue. It's about being happy and accepting and I promise once you do that T is non-existant.   I recommend seeing a therapist and reassessing where you are In life.. is it worth lingering on? life is not ours and will end and why spend time creating a problem when it's just a natural thing that we can't change. I recommend acceptance and appreciation.  I appreciate I have moved on and I don't know what T is anymore. I promised I'd come back after my anxiety days were over. All the best to every person out there.
