I have tinnitus in both ears and quite bad in my right ear with some major hearing loss that started the other week. I'm having an MRI tomorrow to see if there is something there.
The way I have coped over the years is to attach no emotion to it and to see it as part me like a heart beat or a breath. Easier said than done I know. The sound of crickets sometimes masks it completely and what a beautiful sound they make anyway.
I also have tinnitus in both ears. I have constant crickets and cicadas outside and fish tanks in every major room of the house. So it's totally masked and I rarely notice it unless I lay on one ear in bed.
For me it never started until I tried DMT and harmalas. I still can't identify them as the cause but it seems possible. There are studies out recently that have shown hearing related synapses to being stuck in the "always on" state causes tinnitus in some cases (as linked previously, but I read this before now). They are developing treatments... but it will be a while yet.
Meanwhile, consider getting some fish tanks. They are lovely creatures and the constant tinkling of water and popping of bubbles is not such a bad thing to live with.
The nearest we ever come to knowing truth is when we are witness to paradox.
