I had tinnitus as an adult, and it was cured. It turned out to be caused by an improperly filled root canal; some root material remained inside the tooth, the flesh above and around the tooth was inflamed and this was applying pressure inside the skull and bringing tissues which would otherwise not have been into contact, or firmer contact. I had the root canal re-made, and the tinnitus ended.
Thanks!

Or further, if you do read stuff about it and start thinking about it, don't sweat it. You'll eventually stop thinking about it, and life will go on. When I first started dealing with tinnitus, it sucked. Until I realized it didn't. Would I rather not have it? Sure. But life is not near as bad as I thought it would be at first, and I'm perfectly fine several years after it started.
"Don't sweat it" is the most important thing, I've found, especially with tinnitus. As with a number of things, I've found I can actually move the needle when I give myself grace to fail, as long as I can genuinely try again and resolve to do better. A recent example being stopping telling myself I'm tired in the morning. Such a bad habit that self perpetuated. I was always feeling tired, in part, because I was telli…
I have mild tinnitus and the best advice I've ever read on the internet for it is: Stop reading. Don't look up information about tinnitus. Don't think about it. If you happen to notice it, try to distract yourself immediately. There maybe legitimate hearing damage but for the psychological aspect, the more you think about it the worse it becomes. I think I saw a quora answer somewhere where the doctor said "Nobody co…

Of course I don't claim that's the universal fix for everyone. It sure helped me.
I had really bad Tinnitus for years. Then I took a hearing test. Doc concluded that I needed a hearing aid. Then I got the Lyric hearing aid which sits deep inside your ear canal 24/7 and it immediately did not only fix my hearing but also my tinnitus. Its an analoge but digitally programmable hearing aid which needs to be replaced every 3-4 months or so.

You're absolutely right, there is a weird 'information hazard' component to tinnitus. It's like losing 'the game'.
Oh come ON

Does your tinnitus return when you're not wearing the Lyric devices (or when they're turned off, if that's possible)?
