    sorry you feeling so down.

    i can remember the fear and anxiety i had , when i first got tinnitus , about 20 years ago..

    try not to focus on it, put music on , i listen to sleep hypnosis or sounds of rain or lapping of the sea at night time, from experience your brain gets used to the unusual noise over time , you will find that stress or in my case loud noises , make it worse , maybe once your baby is born it may settle down . join support groups look on fb . . xx

    I feel sorry for you, and can't imagine how much your are suffering right now. I suggest you see a physician, see if it can be treated properly. They can advise you properly on how to deal with it.
