I have the same, fren. You get used to it and your brain learns to compensate, trust me. It seems much worse at first than it really is. Also it happens to more people than you think, same with tinnitus. You're not alone fren [hug]
You'll get used to it. I know this sounds like defeat but the Tinnitus gets so much quieter with time. Avoid stressful situations, less multitasking, less internet, learn to meditate (recommend headspace app) and you'll get better and stronger. What happened to you sucks, but you'll get better. Be good to yourself and take your time.
It'll be ok fren. Go get a cheap analog watch. My ears ring thanks to working in server rooms for a few years. I went and got an analog watch and now when it rings I just focus on the audible ticking and tocking and the ringing usually subsides. Remember to still wear hearing protection in your bad ear!

dont worry fren, well always be here to help you

Fren, it can be fixed sometimes with steroid injection. Ask your doctor if it’s fairly recent, the longer you wait the less chance it will be fixed!
