I’ve been hearing a ticking sound kind of merged with the sound of cicadas since I was about 10 and it’s unbelievably irritating
Only thing that I have found that helps is if I am not in conversation with people around me or on phone or in meetings I have music on loud enough to drown it out
The worst is trying to get to sleep—usually I am so tired it doesn’t matter but if I am rested it’s terrible as I like a completely dark, completely silent bedroom so I can hear what is goign on both in and outside the house.
Mine mostly sounds like crickets on a summer’s night, thousands of them...............
Tinnitus worse in a silent setting. Put a small fan in your room, set on low, sleep comes much easier.

Worse thing you can do! You need back ground noise to sleep properly. Use a small fan to generate some white noise and you’ll sleep like a baby.
