According to the Mayo Clinc website, white noise machines often make the condition more bearable. I used those machines for many years when I was working very early morning hours and they helped mask the outside noise of the daytime world when I was trying to sleep.

"White noise machines. These devices, which produce simulated environmental sounds such as falling rain or ocean waves, are often an effective treatment for tinnitus. You may want to try a white noise machine with pillow speakers to help you sleep. Fans, humidifiers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners in the bedroom also may help cover the internal noise at night."

Interesting...... the noise I hear reminds me of summer nights when I was a kid. It was hot and we often “slept out”

It is therefore a pleasant memory. Perhaps my mind is generating it’s own white noise.

On a Sad note..... years ago I had dinner with some FReepers and one was suffering from the problem. Eventually, he did in fact suicide.

I can’t remember his name..... it was quite some time ago
