About TinnitusBuddy

I've suffered from chronic 24/7 tinnitus for the last 6-7 years. It used to be sporadic around ages 7-10, usually after long road trips, such as visiting grandparents. I remember lying in bed at night at their place and hearing a super loud ringing. Oddly, I thought this was normal; it wasn't until I was older that I learned it definitely was not.

I'm still not sure if it's TMJ, car noise exposure, hearing damage, or a mix of all three. In the last 6-7 years, it has become chronic and constant (24/7). I've had a normal hearing test with no apparent hearing loss, though I should probably do a high-frequency hearing test. The pitch varies; sometimes it's somatic (linked to my jaw), other times not.

All that said, for the last few years, I've worked in tech and loved getting to work on an app for this. I found a few existing apps, but none that were super simple and possessed the tracking/logging features I was specifically looking for.
