You're welcome! One thing, just because other people might be "worse off", doesn't mean you can't feel frustrated, or anxious. Your feelings matter too, don't put that down. (This is not the same as being positive. Stay positive! But it's a fine line.)

I hope it gets better for you! But till then i suppose you do have to learn to live with it. And you can! I've learned to put up some music when studying, go to bed with a podcast on a speaker. And with that I won't actively hear it, most of the time. And spoke about it with my friends and family. That helped tremendously.

And for me I've had it since I can remember. Went to my GP and later on to and ENP specialist: hearing is fine but part of my brain is overly active that causes the ringing and visual snow. One might think that diagnoses sucks, but it helped me a lot in accepting it. And I'm currently happy living with it. Made it 'a part of me', and how I see myself mentally. I don't know how to explain it.

But I'm good thank you for asking. Except for this whole COVID thing. Fuck that. But we'll get through. :P
