I've been dealing with it for nearly 20 years now.
I'm apparently fairly adept at putting it to the background these days, because I mostly don't notice it except for when it's particularly quiet, or something specifically triggers my awareness of it. Certain sounds in certain frequency ranges trigger it off too. My youngest kid had a playful shriek thing she did that would palpably hurt me and cause it to kick off.
Seeing this post on HN itself is triggering and I'm now very conscious of the high pitched ringing sound.
I would be willing to pay good money to be cured of this.
It's the same for me too, but stress triggers mine as well or at least doesn't let me ignore it. I'm considering flying to Ireland to try this as soon as we're allowed. I'd be on a flight right now if I could. I just want to experience silence again, at least for an hour or two.
I think I'm the same. Like 95% of the time I don't notice at all. But without fail during a quiet moment somewhere in the day I become aware of it somehow.
