Living with bothersome tinnitus is a lot like walking along the edge of a raging river on a slippery, rocky riverbank, where at any moment, you could trip and fall in. The rock up ahead that you are about to slip on is very much like an anxiety moment about to occur. The problem is that by the time most …

I’ve also talked a lot …
If you’ve lived with tinnitus for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed that it’s not always constant. It fluctuates, and not just in volume, but in sound and intensity, or the number of sounds.
