> - Its terribly unbearable. Not suicidal level but very close to it.
I feel that, it sucks. For me it started with like a "blocked" feeling, now I'm at the point where it's constant static which makes it impossible to sleep on my side, sometimes my left ear goes "deaf" momentarily and a sharp ring starts and it makes me "zone out" but ends after 15-30s
As I understood it, the ear and the jaw muscle are delicately close. "Pressure" on the ear can somehow cause the nerves to send such signals.
I got prescribed some special training to relax the muscles in the neck and jaw area; still need to start it.
I read that being able to modulate the tinnitus to also be quieter somehow is a good indicator of being able to improve it with therapy.
