“Some people have even resorted to complete deafness by having their auditory nerves cut. That isnt guaranteed to work, either......”
My daughter asked me if I could get rid of my tinnitus by cutting the auditory nerve in my bad ear. I told her if I thought it would work I would do it. IMO, being stone deaf in one ear would be a good trade.

It works ONLY if the source of the tinnitus is in the middle ear. If it’s in the brain side, it will still be there..........
