If I heard a non stop ringing, I would gladly have all my teeth removed to stop it

I’m guessing there’s various types of tinnitus, probably some louder than others. I also know some people have no self control, in other words they cannot tune it out, which would drive them crazy.
I’ve had it for years and tune it out. Simply reading this article brings the tinnitus sound out front and full volume. I’m guessing it’s a gift that I can tune it out.
It’s been so loud, so constant, 24/7, that some have taken their own lives because of it.
Don't worry Amber... That feint sound will get louder and it never goes away. There is only one way to control tinnitus... Stop paying attention to it.
I live right beside a traffic light... There is a constant beep, beep, beep to inform blind people which way the walk light is working. People come to my place and say 'how can you stand that noise'... My response... What noise?
If you stop obsessing and concentrating on that one noise you hear all day long... It just subsides into normality.
Cool, and stay away from heavy artillery.
A 20 year Army vet I have almost perfect hearing but tinnitus very bad. I can change the volume and frequency by jutting my jaw forward. This gives me hope.
Can anyone provide a brief summary of the article? Thanks in advance!
I’m happy for Amber but would not look forward to a 3-hour dental procedure. I wonder if her teeth could have been re-aligned instead.
In my 60s something changed. My top and bottom front teeth would sometimes hit each other when I talked. My dentist made a mold of my teeth and showed me that my teeth were hitting and recommended I see an orthodontist. I did and he put me on Invisalign aligners to move my teeth into a better position. I now put wear Invisalign retainers when I sleep. It all works great.
I don’t know if this would have worked for Amber. It might be worth a look if one’s tinnitus was the result of a TMJ problem.
Thanks

When I am aware it is pretty loud. I recall once being on a subway in NY and telling my wife, “do you hear that screeching sound? that is what it sounds like to me.”
...which means this article is meaningless to 99.9% of tinnitus sufferers who might click on it.
Question for all..... One of my coworkers regularly goes to an acupuncturist and he says it totally controls the problem that started his trips there. Before he left to see the acupuncturist a month or two ago, I asked him to enquire as to whether acupuncture could do anything for tinnitus. The answer came back that acupuncture can work but not all the time... success rate is typically less than 50%. Does anyone have any experience with an acupuncturist in an effort to relieve tinnitus?
