Sounds & tinnitus

hi yall it’s been awhile since I checked in! Last week when meditating, I noticed a pronounced ringing in my ears. I’m pretty sure it’s tinnitus and am not sure how long I’ve had it.

That being said, once named, it’s been quite distracting when meditating. I watch the mind judge as the new label has turned something previously inconsequential into a noticeable distraction. It’s funny how this can happen with our attention.

I’ve read posts about people using tinnitus as an anchor or gateway, which is the goal. However, at this point, I’m still in the acceptance phase and also kinda laughing at the absurdity of how long it took me to notice.

If any of yall have experience with this, would love to hear!

Other than that, continuing to sit for 15 mins in the morning and without a timer before bed. I’ve been playing with using the tinnitus as a reminder to be where I’m at, as I notice when the mind is quiet.
