Silencing Tinnitus During Sleep

I've only been diagnosed with T for a week or two.

I've noticed that salt, alcohol and stress can set it off. Actually... SILENCE is worse.

When I sleep... it ROARS. It's a very low frequency... like a work truck outside.

What do you do to stop the noise when the world goes to sleep?

 

I usually try and play some sort of nature music.i find anything water related really works for me

Or play a very quiet podcast. It sort of reminds me of listening to radio.

I hope that helps

 

Does radio help?

 

I use a sound machine that has an actual fan inside, but I have found as I expect you will that quiet rooms can be nice once you get over the initial shock of having tinnitus. Nowadays I alternate masking noise or no masking noise depending on how I'm feeling at night. Lots of nights I go with no masking.

 

Grrr!

Try this App on iTunes called 'iRetrainer'. It might help

 

Ummm it may! what ever really helps you. Lots of people on here I'm sure use all sorts of sounds. I've heard of water fountains, air conditioners (I'm looking for one now), a quiet fan, nature sounds. All sorts of things

Depending on where you live I sometimes just leave my window open and the sounds from the city below me sometimes do the trick

 

For some unknown reason I find the ticking of a clock helps and also birds chirping.
