I was put back on it after being hospitalized for basically admitting I was suicidal to my audiologist 2 months ago.
Yeah man I read some of the posts on tinnitus. I know some members are suffering from it and I have suffered from it at times. Here is what I learned. First off I have not thought of tinnitus in years. But at one point I did think I would go crazy. But here is the catch to remember. It may sound esoteric but it is what helped me. When a person closes his eyes there is not a complete blackness either. There is always static. Same with hearing. I have whistles and gurgles and ringing if I put my focus on it. The white noise concept uses focus as a healer. There is luxurious silence behind the noise. There is luxurious blackness behind the static. But as long as we are in a body there is static and interference.
I am willing to bet Mac if I ask you 3 years from now you will have focused past the tinnitus. Say it is not as relevant. Because life will consume you and your focus will go beyond the static. I think everyone has tinnitus. There is not a word for the visual interference when we close our eyes I don't believe. (maybe CEV) But close your eyes and there is certainly not perfect darkness yet that does not bother us as much.
DMT: next time you take a decent hit. (20 mgs zoots me) you may notice there is no more ringing as your consciousness flies right past the static. Pay attention next time. And feel better about this.
I don't say this stuff lightly. I have been corrected a few times and had lengthy conversations with my friend Chris Timothy. I may have too much of an esoteric view. Maybe there is a drug or something that gets rid of tinnitus. But the white noise concept almost shows it is a focus thing. And we all have it. I did go through a period where I felt like I had to get out of life as the ringing is too much. That was about 25 years ago. So I did totally get past it and tinnitus does not bother me at all and it is for sure there when I look for it.
