This is like when someone tells a depressed person ‘just dont be sad’ but I’ve had tinnitus for over a decade, mine could potentially be minor.
Dedicating a good amount of time to telling myself over and over that the noise didn’t exist in my head really helped my ability to deal with it. I don’t ever think about it or notice it unless someone says the word tinnitus and my brain keys in on it. If you haven’t heard about it before, the drumming on the back of your skill trick is also a real (if very temporary) fix for me and a lot of other people I’ve talked to.
That’s how mine is. I’m just so used to it I can tune it out. It also helps that it’s a symptom of something far more frustrating in my case: my hearing loss

I’m so grateful mine is minor. I only notice it when it’s very quiet and even then i don’t always notice.
