Masking in headset makes me even uncomfortable especually after taking off, it doesnt work for me, I just use my willpower to ignore it , however as i said now the intensity is almost same its just that it feels like itchy in the head in there, i still need to make effort in distraction by focusing on other thing

The fact that usually we heard about t is to live with for good, i understand its no cure but seems it wouldnt go away is the usual result

I waited 1 year to be seen by that time I had habituated and found my own ways. NHS is a complete joke when it comes to things that they cannot cash in on. My advice for tinnitus sufferers is the worst part is the beggining. When you realise what's happening to you and you find out you are not alone you will find a way out . Never repeat Never give up. We are a clan and we are everywhere.

Audiology would provide hearing aids , but only if u have hearing loss / CBT psychotherapy with psychologist but the waiting lists are huge. Like Andy said u have to find yr own ways of coping with the T
