Cause of Tinnitus
I believe it was meds and stress
In Az they have these little creatures that chirp when the heat is unbearable and the rain is near.
I went for a walk today and they were out big time they drowned out the T. The CICADA were out in numbers.

About 20 minutes later they all stopped on the same instant, I heard them. Then the T came back.
They actually muted the T. I dont think you could listen to their sound for very long.
The CICADA are coming! Cchhiirrpp...chirp!
 
Yes, cicadas drown out T if it is high-pitched.
I oftentimes listen to cicadas on my mobile. Not very pleasant, but better than listen to T.

Yesterday I had a similar experience when I was in nature.
But it was millions of bees or wasps. The sound around me was a deeper buzzing.
It did not cover my T since it was lower in frequency.
My son said: Oh, what an ugly sound. I do not talk much about T, but I said this is similar to what I hear 24/7. He felt sorry for me and then we went on.

I cannot tell if the lower buzzing or the higher hissing is better.

Hey Martin hope you're doing ok ....I get periods of all I hear is the low hum and I'd take that any time over the high pitch eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Oh well our battle continues.

Hey Carlos.
Good to hear from you.
At the moment I have many loud days.
I just try to ignore the craziness in my head.
Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
As you said, the battle continues.
I am hoping for AUT00063 and/or SF0034.
Take care.
