Heavily depends man. It’s awful when it flares up for me. Just randomly having my hearing drop out on one side and then eeee^eeeeeeeeee

Yeah, I’m one of those latter people. When the tinnitus is so bad that it induces vertigo and nausea on a regular basis, among other things, it’s difficult to ignore.

edit: Once I went to get an MRI for it and they were really apologetic about how loud the banging in the machine was going to be, and I fell asleep twice because it was the first time something had covered up the ringing in a while.

Yeah for a buddy of mine it’s as loud as someone speaking at full volume at all times. It’s really bad.

My dad has it and just keeps noise in the background constantly so it’s less noticeable.
