I have had very loud tinnitus and deafness in my left ear, and minor tinnitus but decent hearing in my left ear, for over thirty years. I deal with it pretty well, but I can understand why some people get depressed (even suicidal) from the unrelenting noise. I always thought my wife would not cope with it well at all, because of her personality.

We both got covid in Dec 2020. Lately she's had bouts of mild tinnitus. If it continues, I guess I will find out how she copes.

Tinnitus is my constant companion. It never leaves me. It’s always there. From the time I wake up to the time I fall asleep, it’s there. You r dog may leave you, your friends desert you, your spouse run off with someone they met on the Interwebz , but Tinnitus is faithful and true and will never leave you alone..........................
