Tinnitus worries...

I did go to the Stones, Elton John, John and Elvis Costello but I kept my concert going very limited.

But small clubs and discos-a couple of times and then no.

Anyplace where you have to scream at the person next to you makes no sense whatsoever.

But try talking to friends on the phone who went to these places and concerts a lot and I'm thinking was it worth it.

The best suggestion I have is just accept that you have tinnitus and pay as little attention to it as possible. My tinnitus bothered me much more when it was at a much lower level than it's at now. Then I decided I just had to accept that it was going to be part of my life and I had to stop letting it bother me or it would drive me nuts.

I can listen to my stereo or even sit in a quiet place without noticing the ringing. I only notice it when I think about it, like right now, but I just try to focus on something else and before long I’ll forget about it.
