I constantly have ringing in my ears, it sucks. I feel your pain trust me. Part of getting old liking loud music. If it’s affecting your mental wellbeing I would definitely say that you should scrape up the $250, small price to pay for your well being. I’m use to it now been an ongoing issue for years. But when my ears get really bad I dread interacting with people, especially in places with lots of noise happening all around me. I just tune out and become disassociated with everyone around me. I’m turning into a grumpy old man
I have misophomia too I think, certain sounds drive me BANANAS

I have to isolate, meditate, put on music, tune out.
I'm 53 now and I've noticed that I'm more sensitive to certain sounds.
I like rock concerts though like Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
But the most annoying sounds to me are like people putting trash in our trash chute or someone tapping or walking loudly upstairs, my apartment is usually quiet except at certain times when foot traffic is about.
Outside sounds like BACK UP BEEPING, construction, fire

sirens at night, the BIG CITY can be challenging.
