Seriously. I can’t imagine having to live with tinnitus

You get used to it and only really get reminded of it when it's brought up. Granted I'm sure for some people it's bad enough to always be at the forefront.

My dad has it and just keeps noise in the background constantly so it's less noticeable.

Yeah, I’m one of those latter people. When the tinnitus is so bad that it induces vertigo and nausea on a regular basis, among other things, it’s difficult to ignore.

edit: Once I went to get an MRI for it and they were really apologetic about how loud the banging in the machine was going to be, and I fell asleep twice because it was the first time something had covered up the ringing in a while.
