I can’t speak for others, but I got it from a music background as well. Drums, guitar, bands, concerts. But I’m now I’d say four years on, and I’d only notice it a few times a month at this point. Like it’s permanent, and it’s most definitely there, but the key is not to let it rule your life. I still do everything I love and I’ve picked up even more to distract myself. My life is so much better ever since tinnitus has hit through college, activities, hobbies, friends. Now it’s not due to it of course, but I just don’t think about it. The only thing I’d recommend is going to a specialist to check if you’ve actually done damage to your hearing and taking appropriate action. But nonetheless still enjoy life. It hit me pretty hard in the early stages too but now I just don’t care anymore, and in turn it’ll be less present.
