                        I have had tinnitus for at least 12 years or more. Eventually you learn to tune it out. I find that if I keep the TV, radio or other noises down low the pitch goes lower.  The louder the noise the higher the pitch.  Also some days I don't hear it at all, Just have to keep busy and not think about it. The more upset you get over it just keeps it loud, you need to keep calm.
