    I’ve been living with tinnitus for over 10 years.

    I was a dumb kid who used to listen to music in my car with my windows up.

    Don’t do this.

    Wind your windows down if you wanna blast it.

    (Though your ears would rather you don’t).


    On the therapy question: understanding that you will end up coping with it relieves a great deal of stress.

    There are times when i can lean into the ‘sound’ and it is actually comforting.

    Other times it’s maddening.

      Similarly: if you’re on a train and your music is too loud, take your headphones off and use the speaker. This way you distribute the problem to everyone around you.

      Seriously though, in both cases turn the volume down. Everyone in the neighborhood can hear it. And I can assure you that 99% don’t want to.
