    I have musical tinnitus - my entire life had symphonic and electronic soundscapes. I thought it was normal - I’ve actively listened to all types of music for about 45 yrs.

    Sometime in my early forties I mentioned it to my mate’s new girlfriend. She laughed and directed me to an article about it.

    Musical tinnitus 11/10 highly recommend. Normal tinnitus 0/10 avoid at all costs.

        You have my complete sympathy. It’s a torture I couldn’t even begin to imagine.

        My mechanic neighbour suffers from it, he plays a lot of white (?) noise YouTube videos when he has to concentrate - they work for him; a bit.

          I use bone conducted headphone for music, and trying not to fixate on the tinnitus helps a lot.
