Abstract
I suffer from tinnitus since many years ago. I am one of millions with this rather incapacitating and adverse problem. In a similar way to many other patients, I reached the vast information existing in forums and websites, with an interest in analyzing, studying, and researching the subject of tinnitus. This allowed me to get insights into drugs ototoxicity, sound therapies, and counselling, as well as to implement tutorial videos. Thus, the main goal of this article is both to provide to other patients my own testimony as a tinnitus sufferer and to show to the tinnitus specialists the studies and research that have allowed me to suggest a musical neuromodulation therapy. Furthermore, a call to the therapeutic community is made about the necessity of implementing a common protocol of tinnitus treatment, both in primary and specialized care, with a special reference to the scientific community to continue researching on the mechanisms and future therapies of tinnitus.

Summary
Las reacciones de las personas con acúfenos, por las que pasan todos en mayor o en menor medida, son parte del proceso de habituación, que es el objetivo y meta final, aunque al principio no aceptan ni el acúfeno ni la palabra habituación. Las fases por las que pasan casi todos los pacientes de acúfenos son: 1. 2. Atención: desmesurada y constante durante las 24 horas del día, como si no hubiera otra cosa en el mundo nada más que el zumbido de los oídos. ¿Cómo es posible que no haya una cura para el acúfeno en el siglo XXI?. 6. Aceptación: aceptar que se tiene acúfeno como un hecho menor en nuestra vida abre una oportunidad inmediata de mejora. Para llegar a esta fase se tarda casi un año en el caso de la mayoría de las personas con acúfenos. El objetivo de este artículo es relatar en primera persona parte de mi experiencia vital con el acúfeno en los últimos años
