    With my tinnitus, I breathe through my nose a bit more. The gentle sounds are helpful to me in maintaining my basic ‘tune it out’ approach. If you’re noticing it, maybe listen to it? Allow it to be, and use that like your breath, ever present.

      It’s two different high-pitched frequencies, one in each ear. It feels cold and sterile like a steel wind right through my core. A constant shrill undercurrent to my every moment. An eternal stinging discordant monotonous melody performed by ten thousand mosquitoes and an old tube television in the next room. Dueling bandsaws. Piano wire dragging through the meat of my consciousness. Someone is dragging a wet fingertip along the rim of my skull and I’d like it to stop, please.
