I was told by my hearing therapist to play something at night below the sound of the ringing as not too compete with it. Enough just to hear it then I concentrate really hard on it and I fall asleep (sometimes) . Sorry I can't be much help with this it's just what I've been told to do and have tried :) a chamomile tea before bed helps me as well :).
@Strawberryblonde thanks girly. This may sound weird, but something like my heater running or the fridge running can cause my T to react some (go to a high hiss). Have you asked your therapist if constant on/off home sounds like this are okay and not causing worsening?
@Joe Cuber thanks for your reply. Mine reacts to anything in the house that’s a constant hum, the worst being higher frequency sounds. Thankfully my heater sounds lower in frequency, but it still reacts. For your ambient noises, did you use sounds from your phone when going to bed and in the house?
Hi @ErikaS took a good break from here so just saw message. My therapist pretty much said to me ditch the ear plugs and get used to normal sound again. Reactive tinnitus just happens according to him and they don't know why :/. 1)
2) not very helpful in my opinion my hearing therapist as they just don't know much other than sound therapy and white noise generators. Figuring it out myself, well trying too. :-( my T had been reactive this week so sleep has been limited but learning to tune it out which takes a lot of mental strength.
