I came across this recently. It seems to be a relatively new product. I wonder if anyone has tried it. Since I have not tried it myself, I will reserve judgment. https://www.audizene.com/

Earplugs cannot help. Dental tools transmit sound directly to your head through bone conduction. However, headphones playing music at a loud enough volume can help.

Welcome to the forum. I am not qualified to give you medical advice, but I can share what has helped me. I take 1 mg of Lorazepam before bed and at other times as needed. This is an anti-anxiety medication, which sounds more like what you might need rather than an antidepressant. 1 mg is the...

Yes, most couples I know who are over around 60 years of age sleep in separate rooms. At some point, the need for quality sleep becomes more important than the desire for romance. Of course, romance can still happen, but getting good sleep can actually enhance it.

There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ night guard; you should have one custom-fitted for your mouth.

I’ve had several colonoscopies with different prep methods, and none have had any effect on my chronic tinnitus.

I have a prescription for Lorazepam (Ativan) for anxiety. 1 mg twice a day, but I actually only take it when needed. It doesn't alleviate my tinnitus, but it helps me care less. But honestly, a vodka martini helps about as much.
