Ive had tinnitus throughout my living memory. Unsure if it’s because I was a loud child or something inherent to my physiology. Maybe having no memory of perfectly crisp hearing makes it easier to forget, but I can’t say that it has truly affected my quality of life. I can still sing in a choir and listen to jazz. Mine might be a milder case, I have no way of knowing, but please don’t allow it to keep you from doing what you enjoy.
