“..Same here, but it gets to very loud levels in the evening....”
Yep. When I get really tired and go to bed in a quiet room, it’s loud.
FWIW, I use a small fan to create a slight background noise that has always kinda helped drown it out.
Have had tinnitus for 30 years! Constant- no let up. I woukdn5 say it’s hearing loss as much as it is just annoying. Tried many things that supposedly,”cure” or help it, but nothing has worked.
Same here. It’s hopeless. With my luck, They will find a cure the day after I kick off.......................
30-year vet of USOs (Unidendified Sound Originations). Be happy to join your list.
Only thing that ever stopped the noise was smoking crack...but only for a minute or two.
You’re added!.....................
Same here. I’ve had tinnitus for decades. Hearing aides do nothing for it. I’ve gotten used to it.
Thanks

My son worked on this research back in 2005. The university filed a patent based upon his research with brain implants to increase the number of channels in cochlear implants so users could hear music rather than a monotone computer generated type voice.
He manufactured these devises under a microscope which had probes that were directly implanted into the cerebral cortex.
The greatest obstacle to overcome was noise from neuronal activity.
As opposed to sleeping mice. :)
I have tinnitus as well but only really notice it when I get up to go to the bathroom at night. However, I think it probably interferes with my ability to understand spoken words.
I thought I was about 80% deaf since I have to hold my electric razor to within an inch of my ear before I can hear it. The VA sent me to a non-VA audiologist who tested me. He said I'm NOT 80% deaf; I'm only 78% deaf!
I can easily converse with folks in a quiet setting.
Add even a smidgeon of background noise and I have real trouble understanding people.
Yep me too- I have a couple diseases which they will find a cure for soon after I pass. That cartoon character that walked around being rained on by a cloud they followed him everywhere... that is me

Yup that’s me
I just know how biasing currents work. Vibrating anything overcomes it’s inertia, and allows it to move under less force.
Yeah, my wife cannot imagine the lack of silence I experience,
My tinnitus has changed from the ringing tones to white noise.
“I use a small fan to create a slight background noise”
The white noise (static sound) gives me all the background noise I can tolerate. Wake up at night and wonder if it is raining.
Somebody said that if you lose the spirits, it stops
