Somehow I learned, after years of tinnitus, to ignore it. I struggled with it for years! When I get the buzzing now, I just don't pay any attention to it. When I "hear" it, it scarcely registers.

But it was so real! It affected me greatly! It was my body sending a message that something was WRONG!

I got a complete hearing work up. The doc told me, there was no physical problem, it was stress and anxiety, and he wanted to put me on a med. I didn't believe it! I refused the med!

It WAS stress and anxiety! I did not then take the med. But KNOWING there was nothing wrong with my hearing or brain, SOMEHOW . . . my awareness of the horrible tinnitus just went away! on its own, so to speak.

In addition to all of our prayers, he needs to LET IT GO! Let go paying attention to it! Find the source of stress and anxiety and let GO of it!

OH I will warn you and Andrew: once you come to terms with one symptom, IF the underlying stress is still there, the body will come up with ANOTHER symptom that something is still wrong! OK you can tackle that one too, until the underlying cause of the stress is discovered and rooted out . . .

Bless and Keep you and your son. From a fren.
