It seems to just lessen symptoms. To what degree? Who knows.
Be sure to tell us how it is after you have had it 50+ years
Yes, I ignore it for the most part of the day..................

I have hundreds of crickets chirping in one ear and I ignore them as much as I can.
Yeah, my right side sometimes sounds like a pond full of little frogs. I can hear voices in the static version sometimes.
Hell, I named my crikets.
One a constant drone and two that shut off and on.
We had a cicada outbreak and the extra musician about drove me up the wall.
Had it since childhood so have never known anything else. It actually puts me to sleep as it is how I know there is no real noise happening. It does get a bit louder when drinking but recedes once the alcohol wears off.
I was lucky that way. I’ve heard of horror stories like yours. I’ve had probably a dozen ear surgeries on my right ear and I wear a hearing aid, but ironically it was my left ear that had it. They also diagnosed Meniere’s but my ENT said with both, they were pretty broad categories.
I’ve ignored it for decades.
I have a weird theory about that. I hear one ring, one message ding, the doorbell, or even my name while I am sleeping. Finally, I associated it with a pause in breathing. Either my subconscious or an external entity is waking me up to prevent sleep apnea death.
Think about that.
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...”
oh, great...........now it’s stuck in my head
you should really get on a good quality magnesium. get it in the form of glycinate and take 6-8 per day, split 2 at a time throughout the day. It very much helps alleviate neuropathy
“Finally, I associated it with a pause in breathing. “
I have had two episodes of sleep paralysis in the last several years. Both times I was sleeping on my back. The only times I was on my back.
The first time I thought maybe I was dreaming. The second time I knew it was real.
thanks

Essential Fatty Acids? Not for me. I ingest lots of EFAs.
Me too. I found something: patients are told to only go to bed when they're actually tired.
So out with keeping a regular bed-time schedule. In with when you feel like it.
I worked in machine shops for over 40 years. I got so used to the machine noise that I would start to fall asleep at lunchtime, lulled by the pulsating hum. And I do have tinnitus.
Lenire....thanks!!
LOL!!
Gregorian Chants? COOL! I wish mine was Gregorian Chants!
Make a gentle (not firm) wad of a piece of Kleenex tissue, and use that to plug the ear. That will dampen/reduce *some* stimulation of the nerves. Kind of allows some relaxation of the sound processing. Takes several months (I did it for 2 years). Esp. when I was driving with the window down. (DISCLAIMER: Does not work for everyone.)
