As someone with tinnitus and also sleeping difficulty I’m going try the melatonin

I was in the same boat -- tinnitus and borderline insomnia. To help with both, I have been taking melatonin for many years, 3 mg. Spring Valley brand, about 90 minutes before I go to bed. It definitely helps me sleep, and my tinnitus is no longer a significant problem unless I take ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or a few other things.

Another trick to improving sleep is to leave a fan on low in the room where you sleep. A little white noise can really help.

Good luck.

I occasionally take 3mg of melatonin for sleep. IIRC my tinnitus is less of a problem when taking the melatonin.
I think I’ll start the melatonin on a regular basis to see how it works.

Good luck to all.
