You can get a white noise generator that can mask the noise in your ears. You'd need to see an audiologist.

Ta Clo, going next week. For now I have the radio on computer, very annoying condition.

I found by accident that the noise from my ceiling fan helps mask the tinnitis and helps my sleep enormously.

I have had it for over 30 years, you do get used to it and have found nothing helps. There are certain foods that can make it worse, worth looking up. I find at night if it is bad I put the radio on which does help.

External sounds certainly help, the tinnitus is worse in silent environments. Might get a loud ticking clock in the bedroom, annoy the wife would be a bonus,lol.

Good advice on tinternet. I have an NHS hearing aid which has become faulty. I bought one yesterday from ARGOS, £30. Reviews were quite good. Should be delivered later today.

Hi Mr Sqad. It apparently affects 1 in 5 people. I might get an old tranny radio and walk round with headphones on.

I’ve had it for 10 years. You just learn to live with it. It’s in the ear that I have loss of hearing, and my hearing aid doesn’t mask it, although the audiologist said it might help. It didn’t.
