Is it ok to be around fans despite it spiking my tinnitus? It's really hot where I live. If it spikes around white noise does that mean its dangerous to my ears? Its reactive to sound but is it ok to be around those noises to desentisize my ears? I go back to work in a grocery store tomorrow. If it spikes from refrigerators and fans is it dangerous or is it good to desentisize my ears and hopefully will stop doing it? It's been 6 months though but I hear it can take time. Some days are a little better than others but still reactive.

Hi Alugo - how did your return to work go? Did you find that you coped with your tinnitus well? Interested to know how things are going for you.
