It's like tinnitus. It's bearable when you get a mild case from a concert and then it goes away.

But when it sticks and you're at your second decade of 24/7 eeeeeeeeeee in your ear, at times it gets to you really bad and you just want to claw your eardrums off.

I got it as a teenager from a cycling accident. It took me 20 years before I was finally able to say to myself "I'm fine with this". It did happen though, and for anyone else suffering it can get easier to deal with given time.

This should be enough to enlighten all those who think that "noise is not an issue".

Unfortunately, no. It may «get easier to deal with given time» - it's not granted, seeing the history of some sufferers.
