    Anyone Out There Using Your Own Recorded Sounds for Masking?

    Thanks GregCA, Mic Leigh and Ed209. Good advice. I'm just coming to terms with my tinnitus, trying to see what helps, and what might trigger bad days. Your help is much appreciated!

    Anyone Out There Using Your Own Recorded Sounds for Masking?

    Thank you for your message. I did find a wonderful app called White Noise. It's EXACTLY what I was looking for.

    An Encouragement and Taking My Shower with Me

    Hi, I'm JUST like you. Mine started about 2 weeks ago and the shower is total relief. Sleeping is tough, especially when I get up in the middle of the night for a bathroom break. Thank you for the tip on White Noise Lite, I'm looking for a way to loop the shower noise. Take care.

    Good advice, thank you. I'll try crickets again. Since my tinnitus is similar to crickets (spend up, stepping on their squeaky disc brakes) I've avoided bringing more to my party. Tapering off of a 2-week run of prednisone which hasn't helped. Hopefully I'll be lucky and in time it will fade.

    Hey, with 85 pages currently on this obviously popular thread, can anyone distill the bottom line on this for me?

    Anyone Out There Using Your Own Recorded Sounds for Masking?

    Hi, I'm searching for a way to record my shower (the best sound for me), or my wind chimes, or my waterfall to use as a tinnitus masking sound. I guess it could be a couple-minute loop or a whole hour or more. A smartphone app, MP3 file played on a player sounds feasible now that I'm writing...

    Hello fellow tinnitusers, especially you who initially replied and those who may in the future, I need the support. Just a reminder; I'm a 59 male who heard a fair amount of loud music and have likely taken too much ibuprofen over the years. Tinnitus hit me suddenly in both ears 2 weeks ago...

    Thought that is a leading cause. I did see Led Zeppelin in '77 so at least I have that.

    Hello, My tinnitus started out of the blue 2 weeks ago. Screeching cicadas in both ears. Darned loud (although I'm not sure what is average, can't imagine it worse). All I know is that if I walked into a room that sounded like this, I'd immediately have to leave! Not sure of the cause. A few...
