Tinnitus driving me crazy

Hi All I developed tinnitus after having microsuction to remove ear wax. Its a very loud eeee sound & i can hear it over pretty much everything. It is very distressing. Is there anybody that has really bad tinnitus that has been able to eventually habituate to it? I am exhausted from it. Cause I cant escape from it. Any tips? Its been just over a month now. I have been given some anti anxiety meds so im hoping that if they help me to calm down I may be able to accept the tinnitus more?

I developed it 6 months ago. I have both a cicada noise, but also a low droning sound which is driving me batty. Everyone says you can get used to it in the time and the keys are acceptance and just carrying on with everyday life. This is not advice I have been able to follow at this point! You have my sympathies. Its really shocking when you first develop it.
