Welcome @ernie. If you are new to T and new to the forum, this TT thread is a good start to help you step by step. It comes with masking sounds via an audio player. It has tips for newer sufferers to help find solution to their T. It has link to the success stories, a sleep thread, to ATA & BTA etc. Just loads of information. Check it out.
Here is another excellent thread started by a member on what to do when you are new with tinnitus and stressed out. I added some comments to the OP's thread, but you can scroll up to post #1 to read up on the excellent suggestions by the original poster.
